TVS Apache 125 bike lovers India The all-new Apache 125 has finally been unveiled by TVS and enthusiasts in the country can’t seem to stop talking about it. The TVS Apache series, much loved for its performance, looks and in addition from the time of inception smart features have made it a perfect combination of power and styling. TVS further took that history a step ahead with the launch of the Apache 125, a sporty, fuel-efficient, and tech-loaded motorcycle in the 125cc segment.
This is not just any little bike, this new model. Sleek and muscled, its top features include an asphalt-hugging lean design that takes in the jet-like pickup, intelligent smart ride modes, and the rather extravagant 60 KMPL mileage, and all in a streetfighter design! Student to city commuter to new bike buyer, there’s something here for everyone in the Apache 125.
Aggressive and Sporty Design
The Apache 125 has a smart and aggressive look which catches your eye as soon as you see it. It gets a mean-looking headlamp with LED DRLs adding to the sharp look up front. It comes with chiselled cuts on the fuel tank that gives a beefy and a bigger bike appeal like its elder siblings Apache RTR 160 and 200.
The bike features split seats, sharp tail section and this high set exhaust that increases the overall racing character of this sleek design. It also comes with alluring graphics and alloy wheels with a new and young design. This is obviously a bike aimed at younger riders who want their bike to get noticed out on the road.
Powerful 125cc Engine with Jet-Like Acceleration
Apache 125 gets a new 124.8cc, single-cylinder engine under the hood. This air cooled engine churns out about 11.5 PS of power and 11 Nm of torque, and is the most powerful bike amongst the 125cc category. The power plant is engineered for rapid increasing speed and powerful high middle speed output that assures sport bike level handling sensation.
Courtesy TVS’s racing DNA, the throttle is quite sharp and makes for an exciting ride. While in city traffic, Apache 125 provides smooth power, on highways it can achieve higher speeds without much struggle. The bike feels light and yet strong great for daily use and weekend rides at college.
Ride Modes for Better Control
The Smart Ride Modes are a first in segment feature of the Apache 125. This is a unique proposition in the otherwise 125cc segment. Riders can select modes such as Eco, and Power according to the road conditions or riding style.
- Eco Mode is perfect for commuting and fuel saving in town. In this setting, the engine is mapped for improved fuel economy and linear response.
- In Power Mode, full power is available with a more rapid throttle response and a sportier (over-revved) character.
These can be switched on the move and offer an intelligent way to juggle performance and economy.
Mileage That Surprises
With gas prices seemingly never going down, miles per gallon are a top concern for many purchasers. Under normal circumstances, TVS says the Apache 125 is capable of returning up to 60 KMPL in Eco mode. For a bike that’s powerful and stylish, that’s remarkable.
This mileage figure makes the Apache 125 an ideal choice for daily commutes, office going customers and also to the college goers as they love speed and also save the pocket a bit. The Eco Mode coupled with TVS’s efficient engine tuning is claimed to extract the best on every drop of fuel.
Comfortable Ride and Handling
TVS has not sacrificed with the ride quality though. The Apache 125 comes with telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension setup for a plush and balanced ride. Be it city roads, speed breakers or uneven roads, the suspension takes everything in its stride while being comfortable at the same time.
The riding position is upright and a little sporty. The seat height is good enough for an average Indian rider and the positioning of handlebar will give you good control, without tiring your back or wrists. The seat is still comfortable when riding long hours, both for the rider and pillion.
Advanced Digital Console and Features
Another plus-point of the Apache 125 is its all digital-console. And the console does cover everything you need including speed, RPM, fuel levels, trip meter, gear position and ride mode. It also has Bluetooth feature which will help you connect your mobile with the bike, through the TVS SmartXonnect app.
This app also gives you call and SMS notifications, navigation help and ride analytics all on the digital console. That makes it one of the most intelligent bikes in its category. Additionally, this motorcycle also features an engine cut off switch on the side stand, side-stand engine cut off, and USB charging port for everyday convenience.
Brakes and Safety
The Apache 125 is well-endowed when it comes to safety. For stopping power, the Stylish 150 is equipped with front disc and rear drum (539) and rear disc (569) brakes with CBS for safety. The bike feels like it’s got good traction thanks to its fat tyres and lightweight frame.
Brakes inspire confidence even at higher speeds. On the road whether you’re commuting by yourself or with pillion, the 125 Apache is more than capable of stopping without causing you to slide or fluff it with the added weight.
Color Options and Variants
TVS offers the Apache 125 in several attractive colour options like :-
- Racing Red
- Matte Blue
- Glossy Black
- Lightning Grey
The bike is anticipated to offer two or three models, including base and Bluetooth-enabled premium examples, to cover the entire range of budget and feature requirements.
Expected Price and Availability
The TVS Apache 125, when launched, should retail at about ₹90,000 to ₹1,00,000 (ex-showroom), and it would be the perfect proposition against the rivals like Bajaj Pulsar 125, Honda SP 125 and Hero Glamour Xtec. For the features it provides, it is really competitively priced.
TVS could introduce the bike in key cities initially before spreading it to all over India. You may soon be able to book or even test ride at dealerships.
Conclusion
The all New TVS Apache 125 is a 125cc game changer bike. It combines style, power, mileage, and state-of-the-art technology in one package. The jet like pick-up, ride modes, digital console and great mileage.
Overall, if you are seeking a daily commuter that doesn’t skimp on style and performance, this bike makes a great option. It’s got the racer’s soul and the fuel-saver’s heart a winner for India’s present day riders.
