TVS Motor is clearly stepping on the gas in the premium motorcycle space. After launching the Apache RTX 300, the brand has dropped a fresh teaser hinting at something bigger brewing for EICMA 2025 in Milan
on November 4. The short clip doesn’t reveal much beyond the TVS logo and the unveil date, but it’s enough to fuel speculation that the company’s first 450cc adventure bike might finally be ready.
TVS has been jointly developing a new 450cc platform with BMW Motorrad, which is set to power the upcoming BMW F 450 GS. That bike has already been spotted testing multiple times, while the TVS version has stayed under wraps so far. Given the timing of this teaser, it’s quite possible that TVS will showcase its own ADV built around the same powertrain at EICMA.

If this turns out to be the long-rumoured TVS Apache RTX 450, expect it to carry a more adventure-touring bias than a hardcore off-roader. Expect signature ADV cues: a high-set front beak, large windscreen, golden USD forks, hand guards, a sculpted tank, and an upswept exhaust. The setup is likely to feature a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel combination, possibly with cross-spoke options for serious touring riders.
Inside, TVS is expected to pack plenty of tech. The bike should feature a fully digital display with Bluetooth connectivity, navigation, traction control, dual-channel ABS, and maybe even a quickshifter. The familiar SmartXonnect suite will likely handle the connected features. Powering the machine will be a 450cc, parallel-twin engine co-developed with BMW, producing around 48 hp and paired with a six-speed gearbox. The chassis will likely be a steel trellis frame with a bolt-on subframe.

Once launched, the TVS 450 ADV will take aim squarely at the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure. The Himalayan’s 40 hp engine and the KTM’s 46 hp single both sit just below the expected performance of the TVS twin, giving it a potential edge.
