TVS Apache RTS X Design Patented- Launch Likely?
TVS Motor is silently preparing to expand its line of motorcycles on sale in India with new models in the pipeline. Some of these upcoming models will mark the manufacturer's presence in a new segment. Among these is a Supermoto, and the brand seems to be laying the groundwork for the same. Recently, the automaker has filed a design patent to secure rights to the design of what seems to be the TVS Apache RTS X. The bike has similarities with the Supermoto Concept showcased by the OEM at the 2025 Auto Expo, and might be the next big thing for the brand. Diving into the details, the patented design reveals the details of the Supermoto concept. This can be a sign that the brand is working on the development of a production-spec model. However, there has been no official announcement addressing the subject. Considering the recent addition of models in the segment, it would be no surprise if the automaker jumps in to claim its share.

Meanwhile, the hardware consists of a USD fork at the front, which might be fully adjustable.

These will be connected to 17-inch wheels wrapped in fat tyres. There will also be features like a fully digital instrument cluster, integrated tail lights, and more.

Standard features include three riding modes, while the optional Riding Modes Pro adds "Dynamic" and "Dynamic Pro" for even more versatility. Engine drag torque control (MSR) is standard, ensuring stability during sudden deceleration. One of the standout features is the optional Automated Shift Assistant (ASA), offering fully automated clutch operation and seamless manual or automatic gear shifting - a boon for effortless riding.

Navigation is now smarter than ever, with electric locking for the navigation mount - another first for the RS lineup.
