TVS Motor Company is one of India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturers, with a 100-year legacy of trust and engineering. It is also the only two-wheeler company to have received the prestigious Deming Prize. With an annual production capacity of around 70 lakh two-wheelers, TVS offers a wide range of products in India. Its lineup includes mopeds, scooters, commuter motorcycles and racing-inspired bikes such as the TVS Apache series and Apache RR 310.
Technology / Feature | How It Supports TVS Bikes |
TVS Racing | TVS' motorsport experience influences the development of its performance motorcycles, particularly the Apache series, with a focus on handling, chassis balance and responsive performance. |
SmartXonnect | Adds connected features on compatible models, including Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, call and message alerts, and riding information. |
Ride Modes | Lets riders change the motorcycle's response according to riding conditions. Depending on the model, modes such as Sport, Urban and Rain offer different performance characteristics. |
iGO Assist | Uses electronic torque assistance to support quicker acceleration while also helping improve efficiency during everyday riding. |
EcoThrust Technology | Used in commuter-focused motorcycles such as the TVS Sport and Radeon, with an emphasis on combustion efficiency and better fuel economy. |
Dura-Life Technology | Focuses on durability and dependable everyday operation, making it suited to TVS' commuter motorcycle range. |
310cc Motorcycle Platform | TVS developed the 310cc motorcycle platform with BMW Motorrad, demonstrating its engineering capabilities in the premium motorcycle segment. |
TVS has been involved in motorsport for more than four decades through TVS Racing. The experience gained from racing has also influenced its road-going motorcycles.
The Apache series is the clearest example. Models such as the Apache RTR 160 4V and Apache RTR 200 4V are built around a sporty riding experience, with an emphasis on handling, stability and engine response.
The approach is different with the TVS Ronin. It combines a modern-retro design with an engine tuned for usable performance in the low and mid-range, making it more suited to relaxed everyday riding.
TVS offers a range of bikes with different mileage figures, giving buyers options for everyday commuting and varied riding needs.
TVS commuter bike | Engine capacity | ARAI mileage | Real-world mileage |
TVS Star City Plus | 109.7cc | 83-86 kmpl | 70-80 kmpl |
TVS Sport | 109.7cc | 80 kmpl | 74-78 kmpl |
TVS Radeon | 109.7cc | 73.69 kmpl | 70-80 kmpl |
TVS Raider 125 | 124.8cc | 56.7 kmpl | 55-60 kmpl |
TVS currently offers three electric scooters in India: the TVS Orbiter, TVS iQube and TVS X. They cover different battery capacities, performance levels and claimed ranges.
This gives the TVS electric scooter range a broad spread, from the more affordable Orbiter to the larger-battery iQube and performance-focused TVS X.
TVS offers motorcycles and scooters across commuter, sporty, retro and performance segments. Its range includes small-capacity commuter bikes, performance-focused Apache motorcycles, electric scooters and practical petrol scooters.

I have been riding an Activa 110 for all these years. I'm soon going to be 50 and I'm 5'9" tall. I'm planning to buy a motorcycle. I like CB350 or Bonneville 400. As this will be my first bike that I plan to ride for at least 8 years, will these two bike be a little heavy for me? Will I be able to ride any of these easily? Or should I settle with a Ronin? Please advise.
Since you seem like a mature rider and will be getting a motorcycle after a long wait, we'd recommend splurging a little and getting a more premium machine like the Honda CB350RS or the upcoming Triumph Bonneville 400. These bikes will not only perform better than the TVS Ronin, they will also deliver a sense of occassion and premiumness which the TVS simply won't be able to match. Coming to the bikes themselves, the CB350 is a known quantity and delivers a comfortable and laidback riding experience with trademark Japanese reliability to boot. The Bonneville 400 hasn't been launched yet (although it seems like its not that far away either) but going by our previous experience with other Bajaj-built Triumphs, we expect it to be a competent machine although we'll reserve our full judgement until we ride the baby Bonnie. We'd recommend you wait a couple of months until we can ride the Bonneville and once reviews are out you can choose between it and the CB350. Do bear in mind that with every all-new model, there are almost certain to be some teething niggles at the start so waiting 6-8 months until the manufacturer sorts them out would be prudent. And before you go ahead with your purchase, taking a test ride of whatever is on your shortlist should be done too.
Hi, I am 78kg, 5ft 10in tall, and live in a Tier 3 town. My average daily commute is around 12-13km, mostly on broken roads within the town, with a pillion rider for about 6km of the journey. I currently use a BS3 Hero scooter, which I purchased in 2016. With the current fuel prices, my fuel expense is around Rs 400 per week. Given my usage and riding conditions, should I consider switching to an electric scooter?
Since your commute - though short - is mostly on broken roads, we'd recommend shifting to a motorcycle for better ride comfort. Look at options like the Honda Shine 125, Hero Super Splendor Xtec and TVS Raider, which will offer a good step up from a smaller scooter both in terms of performance and comfort. We wouldn't advise you to shift to an electric vehicle because your daily run is quite low and to recoup the additional money you'll shell out over an ICE vehicle you will take many years.
I am planning to buy a new bike, but I am confused between the RTX 300 and the KTM ADV 250. My height is 182 cm, and I am a college student and a weekend rider. I have seen several ownership reviews of the RTX 300, and many users seem to be facing issues, which has confused me. Please suggest which one would be the better choice for me.
The TVS Apache RTX 300 is surely the more capable, feature-rich and well-rounded motorcycle of the two bikes you have shortlisted. However, TVS' after-sales network is infamous for having a hit-or-miss experience and add to that, the RTX itself has been experiencing concerning issues almost a year after its launch. The KTM 250 Adventure might not be as enticing a proposition as the RTX on paper, but it remains the safer buy because it comes from a brand with a proven track record, and the bike itself has also not been reported as having widespread reliability concerns.
Hi Autocar Team, I'm planning to buy an electric scooter. My daily commute is around 50 km, and I often do 100+ km rides on weekends, including some highway usage. My shortlisted options include TVS iQube ST, Yamaha EC-06, and River Indie. Which would be the best choice considering real-world range, reliability, comfort, and long-term ownership?
We'd advise you to choose between the TVS iQube and River Indie because both are trustworthy, practical and comfortable EVs. While both will feel quite adept at tackling city roads, on the highway, the Indie will offer better stability owing to its larger 14-in wheels and fatter tyres. There's not much wrong with the Yamaha EC-06 (unsurprisingly, since it is effectively a dressed-up and pricier River Indie) but it costs quite a bit more than the River. You also have a substantially smaller boot and a very slow 450W charger on the Yamaha, both of which will make their presence felt in day-to-day scenarios. Take a test ride of the iQube and Indie and depending on which one you like more, make your decision.
Hi, I have been riding TVS Jupiter since 2017 and my usage is around 20 km but now, when I took it for service, I came to know that the chassis of the bike has rusted and there are cracks in it. Since I am unable to find a spare, I want to change it. Should I go for electric or petrol scooter? If I choose the electric scooter, will the rusting problem still persist in the chassis. Please provide your valuable suggestion as I want to go for a budget scooter.
Since you stay in a coastal city like Chennai, its not uncommon to hear about rust causing structural integrity issues in the scooter's chassis. Given that your daily run is quite low, opting for an EV would be our recommendation only if you plan to keep it for a long time because that's the only way you'll be able to recoup the additional initial acquisition cost over an ICE scooter. In the EV space, our top picks are the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Konarc / Rizta, Vida VX2 and River Indie. Whereas in the ICE scooter segment, choose between the Honda Activa 110/125, Suzuki Access, Yamaha Fascino / RayZR and TVS Jupiter 110 /125. Ensure you take a test ride of all the models in whichever segment you are shopping in before you make your decision.
