JAKARTA - A motorcycle manufacturer from India, TVS Motor, is preparing to introduce their latest model at the EICMA 2025 event which will be held in Milan, Italy, November 4.

Through a teaser upload on its official Instagram account, TVS displays an adventure-style motorcycle silhouette that is predicted to carry 450cc engines.

This mysterious model is believed to be TVS' first adventurous motor (ADV) with medium engine capacity. As reported by Visordown, Wednesday, October 8, it suspected that this motorbike was a TVS version of BMW F450 GS.

This allegation is getting stronger considering that both brands have long been in close cooperation in model development such as BMW G310 R and G310 GS which share platforms with TVS Apache RR 310.

The new bike will reportedly use a two-cylinder 450 cc parallel engine under development by TVS. This machine is said to generate near-47 bhp of power, a figure similar to the BMW F450 GS candidate.

With such an engine character, this bike has the potential to offer tough performance in medium adventure-tourer classes. Apart from machines, this new motorcycle design is also attracting attention.

From the teaser leak, you can see the shape of the typical mouth of an adventurer's motorbike with a front beak, high windshield, and a gold upside-down (USD) front suspension. This detail shows that TVS is eyeing the premium adventurer motorcycle market which is able to bulldoze asphalt roads and light terrain.

India's automotive media Rushlane reports that this 450cc motor will be more focused on being an adventure-tourer than a pure off-road motorcycle. The supporting feature of long-distance driving comfort is believed to be one of its main selling points.

If officially released, this 450cc TVS adventurer motor will compete directly with KTM 390 Adventure and the 450 Himalayan Royal Enfield which already controls the segment. TVS is also rumored to be introducing another model, Apache RTX 300, on October 15, as part of a strategy to expand their venture product line.
