TVS Apache, one of India’s most celebrated performance motorcycle brands, has achieved two major milestones in 2025. TVS Motor Company (TVSM) has announced that the Apache series has completed 20 years on the road and track, with over 6 million customers worldwide.
Inspired by TVS Racing’s motorsport heritage, the Apache range has evolved into a top choice for enthusiasts seeking a mix of power, technology, and precision engineering. With a presence in over 60 countries, Apache motorcycles have grown into one of the fastest-expanding sports bike brands globally.
The racing-inspired journey
Launched in 2005, the TVS Apache 150 was the brand’s first step into the performance motorcycling segment. Since then, TVS has built on its racing DNA, introducing a series of segment-first innovations.
- First Indian motorcycle with factory customization (Build-To-Order option).
- Dual-channel ABS, ride modes, slipper clutch, and race-tuned suspension for precision handling.
- SmartXConnect technology with a digital console and smartphone connectivity.
- A thriving global community of over 300,000 Apache Owners Group (AOG) riders.
Apache motorcycles run on two core platforms: Apache RTR (street-performance) and Apache RR (track-focused). While the RTR series balances daily usability with aggressive power, the RR models bring race-spec performance to the streets.
Global expansion and competitors
TVS Apache has established itself in Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal), LATAM (Colombia, Mexico, Guatemala), and Africa (Guinea region). Even Europe (Italy) is seeing an increasing presence of the brand.
In India, the Apache lineup competes with rivals like Bajaj Pulsar NS/RS series, KTM Duke 200/390, Yamaha R15, and Honda Hornet 2.0. However, Apache has managed to carve out its own niche with a blend of track-bred technology and community engagement.
