TVS has been faltering a little in this race of a better volume
seller. It was recently taken over by Honda in India. Taking stock of
the situation the company seems to be working its way up now. Very
recently TVS launched a cosmetic facelift of their Apache series of
bikes, and now these spy pics pour in confirming a new feature rich
125cc bike from them.
New 125cc TVS Bike in 2012
If you remember TVS has displayed a smart looking 125cc Radeon bike at the Auto Expo hinting
that there might be something on the same platform that they would be
bringing in. From the spy pictures here, there are differences in the
bike that is being tested and the Radeon displayed at the Auto Expo.
There could be two things – either this is not the Radeon or these might
be the production version changes on Radeon itself. Nonetheless, it
must be understood that even Radeon was a replica of Jive with a green
& white color and different badging.
We had also told you a few days back that TVS is planning to launch a 125cc bike
to replace its Flame series which is not really a benchmark in terms of
sales. From the spy pics, the test bike bears a little resemblance to
the erstwhile successful Victor series of motorcycles. The black theme
is followed all through the bike including the engine, swingarm, alloys
etc. The biggest eyecatcher here are the petal disc brakes which we have
seen in TVS’s Apache models and have been known to provide fantastic
bite. We expect that TVS might launch this bike somewhere around August
or September this year. Things will get clearer, along with its name
soon as we try to dig in more.
Also, attached above is the picture of Radeon from the Auto Expo so that you can check out and compare the two bikes.
