Introduction
There’s a fresh buzz in Indian motorsports this year, thanks to TVS Motor Company. For the first time ever, TVS is supplying race-tuned motorcycles directly to independent teams competing in the Indian National Motorcycle Racing Championship (INMRC) 2025. This is a huge deal—not just for TVS, but for the entire racing community. With the new Pro Stock 200 class debuting at the Madras International Circuit, riders across the country now have a real shot at racing on top-tier machines backed by expert support.
Why This Is a Game-Changer
Indian motorsport has always been about raw talent and passion. But let’s be honest—getting your hands on a fully race-prepped bike isn’t easy or cheap. TVS is changing that. By offering the race-tuned Apache GP200R to independent racers, TVS is opening doors and making the sport more accessible. And it’s not just about the bike—the teams will get full technical support and maintenance from the experts at PETRONAS TVS Racing throughout the season.
This move perfectly fits TVS’s racing roots and their “Track to Road” philosophy, where lessons from the track make their way into the bikes you see on the streets.
Meet the Race-Ready Apache GP200R
The Apache GP200R is a beast on the track. Here’s why riders love it:
- Power Packed: The 200cc engine has been tuned to deliver about 40% more power than the regular model, easily hitting speeds north of 155 km/h.
- Light & Nimble: Weighing only 105 kg, it’s built for quick handling and razor-sharp cornering.
- Smart Tech: From an advanced ECU to a quick-shifter and data logging, the bike is designed to give racers the edge.
- Top-Grade Components: Adjustable suspension, sleek aerodynamic bodywork, lightweight racing wheels, and stronger brakes mean total control and confidence on every lap.
The Team Behind the Scenes
Legendary racer Jagan Kumar might have stepped back from the track, but he’s still deeply involved as a coach for the PETRONAS TVS Racing team. Along with him, rising stars like Rakshith Dave and Alwin Sundar are ready to make their mark. The team also includes international talent like KY Ahamed, making the competition even more exciting this season.
In Closing
TVS Motor Company’s bold step to supply race-tuned bikes at INMRC 2025 is about more than just machines. It’s about passion, opportunity, and growing Indian motorsport from the grassroots up. By empowering independent racers with top-notch bikes and expert support, TVS is helping fuel dreams and push Indian racing to new heights.
The 2025 racing season looks set to be one of the most thrilling yet, and with TVS’s commitment, the future of Indian motorsport couldn’t be brighter.
