    2025 TVS iQube S and ST Launched – Bigger Battery, More Range

    by

    2025 TVS iQube S and STTVS Motor has been updating its iQube electric scooter lineup periodically to keep them relevant and boost sales at the same time. In that regard, we got to see the launch of 2025 TVS iQube S and ST variants in India with an updated powertrain that is aimed to offer more range for buyers. Let’s take a look at all the updates.
    2025 TVS iQube S and ST
    Ever since it was launched, TVS iQube has emerged as one of the best-selling electric scooters in India. Now that Ola Electric sales are crumbling down, TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak have gained quite a bit of the market share. There are multiple trim levels of iQube and only the S and ST trims have been updated to MY25 version. Where design changes are concerned, we can see dual-tone seats, beige inner panels and a pillion backrest.
    Starting with 2025 iQube S, the company has priced it at Rs 1.17 lakh (Effective Price, Delhi). Previously, it used to come equipped with a 3.3 kWh battery pack that was rated to deliver around 100 km of range on a single charge in the real world. The new 2025 iQube S gets a slightly larger 3.5 kWh battery pack and TVS is advertising it with an IDC range of 145 km on a single charge.
    It continues to get a 7-inch TFT cluster with HMI integration and other features like 32L underseat storage, USB charging port, external charging socket, 118+ connected features, front disc brake, 78 km/h top speed, 0-40 km/h sprint in 4.2s, reverse mode, 12-inch tyres at both ends, LED lighting telematics, turn-by-turn navigation and more.

    The same 3.3 kWh to 3.5 kWh battery pack upgrade can also be seen with a smaller battery variant of the top-spec 2025 TVS iQube ST trim. However, 2025 iQube ST gets an upgrade to its larger battery variant where the 5.1 kWh battery pack has been replaced with a 5.3 kWh pack with a claimed IDC range of 212 km on a single charge. 2025 iQube ST 3.5 kWh costs Rs 1.28 lakh (Effective price) and 5.3 kWh variant costs 1.59 lakh (Effective price).
    Being the top-spec iQube ST trim, it gets a host of features and technology on top of S trim. These include a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster that is a touchscreen, music control, voice assist with Alexa skillset and more. At 132 kg, it is slightly heavier than S trim and hence there is a slight drop in performance as it has a 0-40 km/h sprint of 4.5s.
    In the Indian market, 2025 TVS iQube S and ST rival the likes of Ola S1 Pro and Pro+, Ather Rizta, Bajaj Chetak and Hero Vida V2 Plus and V2 Pro, among others. With the larger batteries and more IDC-claimed range, the 2025 TVS iQube S and iQube ST are likely to attract more buyers than they did before.

      New TVS Electric Scooter Below iQube – Launch By Sep 2025

      by

      New TVS Electric Scooter?TVS Motor Company, one of the top EV players in India, is gearing up to expand its electric scooter portfolio with an all-new budget-friendly model that will sit below the popular iQube. A report suggests that the new electric scooter is likely to be launched ahead of the festive season this year, targeting price-conscious buyers in India’s growing EV market.
      Expected Pricing Around Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 Lakh
      The TVS iQube, launched in 2020, has been a consistent performer in the electric two-wheeler space, regularly featuring among the top three in monthly EV sales. It is available in five variants with battery capacities ranging from 2.2kWh to 5.1kWh. The base iQube 2.2 is priced at around Rs 1 lakh, while the top-end variant comes close to Rs 2 lakh. The upcoming scooter is expected to undercut the iQube in terms of price, features, and battery size.
      Given the increasing cost of components and the phased reduction in government subsidies, manufacturers are now focused on delivering competitively priced products. TVS’ upcoming e-scooter is likely to feature a simpler design with basic equipment and a smaller battery pack—potentially the same 2.2kWh unit or a new, more compact option. A hub-mounted motor, like the one sourced from Bosch for the iQube, is expected to be part of the package.
      Jupiter or XL Branding?
      While there is no official word on the name yet, speculation suggests it could be positioned under the popular TVS Jupiter sub-brand. TVS is also developing a Jupiter CNG scooter, which is expected to launch later this year. If that happens, Jupiter will become India’s first two-wheeler nameplate to be available in petrol, CNG, and electric variants.
      Another possibility is that the upcoming EV could be an electrified version of the iconic XL moped. TVS has filed patents for names like “XL EV” and “E-XL,” indicating that the new electric offering could also be a modern take on the widely popular XL100. The XL100 remains the most affordable ICE two-wheeler in the country, and its electric counterpart could carry forward that value-for-money legacy.
      A Strong Push to Maintain Top 3 Spot in EV Sales
      TVS is aiming to bring this scooter to market in time for the 2025 festive season, targeting the surge in demand during that period. Positioned around the Rs 90,000 to Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom) range, this new electric scooter could play a crucial role in expanding the brand’s EV footprint while making electric mobility more accessible for a broader set of customers. More details are expected in the coming weeks.

      TVS Ntorq 150 In The Works – Aerox 155, Xoom 160 Rival

      by

      TVS Ntorq. File Photo.Along with sporty styling similar to the existing 125cc model, TVS Ntorq 150 could potentially get a new 150cc liquid cooled engine
      India’s scooter segment is dominated by 110cc and 125cc models, with bestsellers like Honda Activa, TVS Jupiter, Suzuki Access and TVS Ntorq. However, there’s increasing demand for premium performance scooters as well. Offerings in this space include the Yamaha Aerox 155, Hero Xoom 160 and Aprilia 160cc models. Sensing an opportunity, TVS is also planning an entry in this space with Ntorq 150. Let’s check out the details.
      TVS Ntorq 150 – What to expect?
      With the Ntorq 150, TVS could be looking at a future-ready product that aligns with the brand’s long-term goals. As of now, volumes are relatively low in the premium scooter segment in comparison to the 110cc and 125cc segments. For example, Yamaha Aerox 155 contributes just around 4-5% of the brand’s overall sales. The percentage contribution of Xoom 160 is even lower for commuter-focused Hero MotoCorp.
      However, the premium scooter segment is expected to witness increased demand in the coming years. With the Ntorq 150, TVS could be making its move at just the right time. The smaller sibling, Ntorq 125, is already a bestseller. In FY2025, Ntorq 125 was the 5th best selling scooter in the country with a market share of 5.31%. With a similar sporty profile, premium features and a peppy engine, Ntorq 150 could emerge as one of the favourites.
      TVS Ntorq 150 – liquid-cooled or air-cooled?
      As rivals Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 are equipped with liquid-cooled engines, TVS could follow a similar approach with Ntorq 150. An air-cooled engine would be affordable, but it may not meet user expectations of enhanced performance. Aprilia 160cc models come with air-cooled engines, but TVS may focus more on direct rivals like Aerox 155 and Xoom 160.
      TVS currently does not have a liquid-cooled engine in the 150cc scooter segment. While developing a new engine from scratch may be costly, TVS could offset the expense by deploying it across future models. With expected increased demand in this space, multiple models may be needed to fulfil diverse user preferences.
      While official details are not available, performance of Ntorq 150 could be at par or slightly better than that of rivals. Yamaha Aerox utilizes a 155cc, liquid cooled, SOHC engine that generates 15 PS and 13.9 Nm of torque. Hero Xoom 160 has a 156cc, liquid cooled engine that generates 14.6 PS and 14 Nm of torque.
      Design, features
      TVS Ntorq 150 will have a sporty design, vibrant colours and sporty graphics. It is expected to get TVS SmartXonnect connectivity suite that has Bluetooth, navigation, called ID, last parked location assist and ride stats share feature. To enhance overall performance, Ntorq 150 could get 14-inch wheels. Single-channel ABS will be offered as standard.
      It is expected that TVS Ntorq 150 will be introduced around the upcoming festive season. It could be launched at a starting price of approximately Rs 1.50 lakh. Rival Yamaha Aerox 155 is priced at Rs 1.50 lakh, whereas Hero Xoom 160 costs Rs 1.48 lakh.

      TVS Confirms Norton Motorcycles India Launch By 2025 End

      by

      Norton Motorcycles India Launch
      Five years after TVS Motor acquired the iconic British motorcycle brand, Norton Motorcycles, the company has deemed it fit to finally launch it in India. The company has revealed an estimate time frame for Norton Motorcycles to launch in India to rival other retro classic motorcycle brands like Royal Enfield, Triumph, Harley-Davidson, Jawa and Yezdi among others.
      Norton Motorcycles India Launch
      The iconic British motorcycle brand, Norton Motorcycles, has been a popular choice among buyers who are looking for a retro treat. Currently, the company offers three motorcycles – Commando 961, V4SV and V4CR. The prices for these motorcycles range from around Rs 20 lakh and Rs 50 lakh.
      Norton Commando 961
      Norton Motorcycles was acquired by TVS Motor around five years ago and it has been a highly anticipated launch since this acquirement. Now, TVS Motor has confirmed that Norton Motorcycles will be introduced in India by the end of the year 2025. Probably via the CBU route, now that India-UK free trade agreement is expected to bring automotive tariffs from 100% to 10%, under a quota.
      These three aforementioned motorcycles might launch initially through CBU route and serve as Halo products for Norton Motorcycles in India to set foot in the ground. These will be shipped into our market from the company’s facility in Solihull, UK. Soon, we should expect local manufacturing of smaller-capacity motorcycles to compete in the 350cc-450cc motorcycle segment.
      Norton V4CR
      What to expect?
      Speculations suggest that Norton Motorcycles is branching out its operations and is developing two new platforms. One of these will displace around 450cc (probably a single-cylinder unit) which should act as its most affordable offering. Second motorcycle could be a middle-weight offering that might displace around 650cc (probably a twin-cylinder unit).
      With the historic India-UK FTA (Free Trade Agreement), both nations are poised to boost trade and revenue. This FTA will benefit British automakers too as tariffs could be reduced to just 10% down from around 100%. While the small-capacity motorcycles look like a foggy future, the launch of Commando 961 or V4SV or V4CR or all or some by 2025 end is more likely.
      Norton V4SV
      TVS Motor acquired Norton Motorcycles for around Rs 153 Cr, which looks like a relatively small sum in the grand scheme of things. There has been a significant investment of around Rs 1,000 Cr from TVS and the roadmap is set to launch six new motorcycles by 2027 end. More

      2025 TVS Sport Gets New ES+ Variant – Launch Price Rs 61k

      by

      2025 TVS Sport ES+One of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, TVS Motor, has just launched a new variant with its Sport budget commuter motorcycle. This is TVS’ most affordable motorcycle and is positioned below the Star City+ and Raider 125. This Splendor rivalling commuter bike now gets attractive new colours with this new variant too. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 TVS Sport
      The budget commuter motorcycle segment in India is vastly dominated by Hero MotoCorp with its evergreen Splendor lineup. Challenging this motorcycle is TVS Sport which offers a larger engine and associated performance and undercuts in pricing as well. With the 2025 Sport, TVS has launched a new variant to boost its appeal further.
      2025 TVS Sport Price List
      Called Self Start ES+, this new variant is priced at Rs 60,881 (Ex-sh, Delhi). 2025 TVS Sport Self Start ES+ is slotted above Self Start (ES) Alloy Wheels variant priced at Rs 59,881 (Ex-sh, Delhi) and below Self Start (ELS) Alloy Wheels variant priced at Rs 71,785 (Ex-sh, Delhi). One can call Self Start ES+ a mid-variant between the other two.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ is offered in two colours and they stand out from other colourways offered with the remaining two variants. These include Grey Red and Black Neon. These colourways have nice finishes and minimalist graphics on fuel tank. Front headlight cowl and front mudguard are colour-coded too.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ Grey Red
      Interestingly, ES+ is the only variant that gets a black pillion grab rail, while the other two variants get a Silver finish. One could say that ES+ is the sportiest version of TVS Sport commuter. ES+ is also the only variant in Sport’s lineup to get pinstriping on alloy wheels and these pinstriping are also colour-coded and not random, which is a nice touch.
      What does it get?
      Components of TVS Sport are pretty basic, owing to its market positioning and price tag. It gets RSU telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Drum brakes are the only option to bring this motorcycle to a halt. There’s a 10L fuel tank and the kerb weight of this motorcycle is 112 kg and has a ground clearance of 175 mm.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ Black Neon
      Powering this motorcycle is a 109.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected engine that is rated to deliver a peak power of 8.08 bhp at 7,350 RPM and 8.7 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 RPM, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. The top speed is 90 km/h. More

      TVS Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied – MD Sudarshan Venu Testing The Upcoming Motorcycle

      by

      Apache RTX 300 ADV SpiedTVS Motor Company is getting ready to enter the booming adventure motorcycle segment in India with its upcoming Apache RTX 300. Fresh spy shots have now emerged online, revealing the bike testing alongside its most likely rivals – Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure, hinting that TVS is benchmarking its new ADV against all key contenders in the mid-capacity ADV category. It is also expected to compete with the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 and Yezdi Adventure.
      TVS MD Spotted Testing the Bike
      Interestingly, TVS MD Sudarshan Venu himself was spotted riding the RTX 300. This suggests the bike is in its final stages of development, with a launch expected within the next two to three months. Apache RTX 300 will mark TVS’s first ever entry into the adventure segment, a category that has gained serious momentum in recent years.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Design-wise, the Apache RTX 300 looks like a well-built, true adventure tourer. It features a tall stance, upright riding posture, long travel suspension, knobby tyres, an upswept exhaust and what appears to be a split seat layout. The spy images reveal a semi-faired body and a muscular fuel tank. It also gets a luggage rack, sleek LED turn indicators, LED tail light, and high-mounted handlebars for relaxed touring ergonomics.
      The front forks are USD units finished in black, matched to a rear monoshock. We expect a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combo. Braking will be handled by petal discs on both ends and switchable dual-channel ABS is likely to be offered.
      Apache RTX 300 ADV Spied
      Powerful New 300cc Engine
      The TVS Apache RTX 300 will be powered by the brand’s new RT-XD4 engine, which was showcased during the 2024 MotoSoul event. This is a 299cc liquid-cooled DOHC 4-valve motor, expected to churn out around 35 bhp and 28.5 Nm. It will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and a bi-directional quickshifter.
      Modern Tech and Connectivity
      Interestingly, it will not get a horizontal TFT instrument cluster like the Apache RTR 310 or RR 310. Instead there is a horizontal unit, likely featuring Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, call and message alerts via the TVS SmartXonnect app, and possibly music controls. These features would give it a tech edge in its class.
      TVS has already trademarked the Apache RTX name, and with multiple real-world sightings and the company MD riding the bike himself, the official launch seems imminent. Expect the Apache RTX 300 to launch in the next 2-3 months, with an expected price starting from around Rs 2.4 lakh to Rs 2.7 lakh (ex-showroom). More

      TVS Apache RTS X Patented Before Launch – KTM 390 SMC R Rival

      by

      TVS Apache RTS X PatentedOne of India’s leading scooter and motorcycle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is keen on extending its portfolio in the country. The company currently operates a slew of scooters and motorcycles across multiple body styles. However, a Supermoto bike is not one of those body styles, which could change in the future.
      TVS recently showcased a Supermoto Concept at 2025 Auto Expo. It is called TVS Apache RTS X and it is a raunchy Supermoto motorcycle that grabs a lot of attention. Design of the same is now patented in India. Does this indicate launch intentions? Is there a place in India for Supermoto bikes? Let’s take a closer look.
      TVS Apache RTS X Patented
      TVS Apache RTS X Design
      An OEM usually gets a design patented to protect its IP (Intellectual Property) from being replicated by someone else. Which usually means launch intentions. However, OEMs also tend to patent the designs of their concept vehicles as well. This is the case with Apache RTS X Supermoto bike.
      The patented design is of the concept and not of the production-spec version. This could mean that TVS is working on a Supermoto bike, but it has not been officially confirmed. Considering TVS’ presence in racing and fanbase around stunts and enthusiasm, one can expect a production version of Apache RTS X.
      TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept
      In the concept form, TVS Apache RTS X is a raunchy Supermoto motorcycle that looks like it came straight out of a Cyberpunk world. We can see an alienistic front fascia with a short beak. Handlebars are of an upright type and lend a commanding riding position. Fuel tank is large and is complemented by muscular tank shrouds.
      The first Indian Supermoto?
      Concept has a keyless go and the ignition key is a red button situated on fuel tank, which is an interesting approach. Instrumentation is fully digital, handled by a pill-shaped screen. Rear subframe is a fancy one with integrated tail lights and an exhaust system. It houses a rear mono-shock suspension setup and a fancy swingarm too.
      TVS RTS X Supermoto Concept
      Wheels might be 17-inch units at both ends, wrapped with fat tyres. Front gets USD telescopic forks which are likely to be fully adjustable for compression and rebound. Suspension will also have long travel, offering high ground clearance, which is a common trait in Supermoto genre.
      Powering the TVS Apache RTS X motorcycle is the RTXD4 engine that displaces 299cc and is a single-cylinder liquid-cooled unit with DOHC 4V head. This engine is capable of generating 35 bhp of peak power and 28.5 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The concept seen in these design patents weighs 144 kg and can hit 60 km/h in 2.8s and 100 km/h in 6.3s. If launched, TVS Apache RTS X will be the first Indian Supermoto bike.
