New TVS Apache RR450 to Challenge Aprilia RS457 at EICMA

The new motorcycle TVS has teased for the 2025 EICMA Show on November 4th is highly anticipated, with speculation focused on it being a model built around the new 450cc parallel-twin engine platform co-developed with BMW Motorrad.¹

While your information suggests it might be the Apache RR450 sportsbike, other reports indicate it could be a 450cc Adventure Tourer.

Here is a summary of the most prominent rumors and confirmed details:

The TVS EICMA 2025 Reveal (November 4)

• The Motorcycle: The mystery bike is confirmed to be unveiled on November 4th, 2025, at EICMA in Milan.²
• The Platform: It will be based on the new 450cc parallel-twin engine platform that TVS co-developed with BMW Motorrad. This engine is expected to produce around 47-48 hp.³
• The Confusion (ADV vs. Supersport):
  • Adventure Tourer (Most Rumored): Many reports and analyses of the teaser silhouette strongly suggest an adventure or dual-purpose motorcycle (e.g., high-mounted fenders, a front beak, and a tall stance). It is often referred to as the TVS 450 ADV and is expected to rival the KTM 390 Adventure and Royal Enfield Himalayan 450.⁴
  • Supersport (Your Suggestion): Other reports, including your own, speculate it could be the TVS Apache RR450, a fully-faired supersport model, following the pattern of the existing 310cc platform (where BMW launched an ADV first, and TVS followed with a supersport). TVS’s MD has also confirmed that the 450cc platform will spawn a fully-faired supersport motorcycle.
• The Status: The new TVS 450cc model is generally expected to be showcased in a concept form at EICMA, with a production version likely to follow in late 2026.

The BMW and Norton Connection

• BMW F 450 GS: The production-ready version of the BMW F 450 GS adventure bike, which is the first model on this new 450cc platform, is also scheduled to be showcased at EICMA.⁵
• Norton: TVS-owned Norton Motorcycles is also expected to debut their own 450cc bike, likely a neo-roadster, also utilizing the same platform at EICMA 2025.⁶

The TVS Apache RTX 300 (Confirmed Launch Soon)

The Apache RTX 300 is a different, separate model and is confirmed to be TVS’s first dedicated adventure tourer for the Indian market, based on their new 300cc single-cylinder RT-XD4 engine platform.⁷

• Launch Date: It is scheduled for an Indian debut on October 15, 2025 (less than a week from now).
• Engine: It will use a 300cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing about 34-35 hp and 28.5 Nm of torque.
• Segment: This model will directly compete with bikes like the KTM 250 Adventure and BMW G 310 GS.
