At the 2025 Auto Expo, TVS Motor Company captivated audiences with the unveiling of two groundbreaking concepts: the RTS X Supermoto Concept and the Vision iQube Concept. These futuristic designs offer a glimpse into TVS’s innovative approach and its vision for the future of motorcycles and electric mobility.
RTS X Supermoto Concept: A Bold Leap into the Supermoto Genre
For the first time, TVS has ventured into the Supermoto category with the striking RTS X Supermoto Concept. This aggressive, high-riding machine is based on the Apache RTR 310’s mainframe, with a newly designed subframe that features a sleek under-seat exhaust system, adding a modern and edgy aesthetic.
Key Features
- Design: The bike boasts a long single-piece seat with an elevated riding posture, an 875mm seat height, an edgy translucent fuel tank, muscular tank shrouds, and a flat LED headlight complemented by a sharp front beak.
- Technology: It features a fighter-jet-inspired engine start button located on the fuel tank for a keyless ignition system and a unique pill-shaped instrument cluster.
- Performance: Weighing just 144 kg, the bike accelerates from 0-60 km/h in 2.8 seconds and 0-100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, powered by the 299cc RT-XD4 engine paired with a 6-speed gearbox.
- Chassis: Equipped with USD front forks, 17-inch wheels with wide tires, and an unadjustable suspension system designed for sharp handling and agility.
This concept positions TVS as a potential rival to KTM’s 390 SMC R if the Supermoto genre gains traction in India.
Vision iQube Concept: The Future of Electric Mobility
The Vision iQube Concept showcases TVS’s vision for electric mobility, emphasizing swappable battery technology. This next-generation electric scooter offers a futuristic design and advanced features that reimagine the iQube series.
Key Features
- Design: A larger and wider design compared to current iQube models, the Vision iQube Concept features a diamond-shaped LED headlight, a single-piece seat, muscular side panels, and an extended tail section with an inverted U-shaped LED taillight.
- Technology: It introduces a Head-Up Display (HUD) in place of a traditional instrument cluster and incorporates exposed handlebars with two square digital screens handling switchgear functions.
- Performance: Equipped with massive disc brakes at both ends and fat tires for improved handling and stability.
- Battery Innovation: The focus on swappable battery technology indicates a shift towards greater convenience for electric scooter users.
Both the RTS X Supermoto Concept and Vision iQube Concept highlight TVS’s commitment to innovation and its readiness to explore uncharted territory in motorcycling and electric mobility.
While the RTS X could cater to niche enthusiasts with its Supermoto dynamics, the Vision iQube underscores the potential for future advancements in electric two-wheelers. TVS has not announced production timelines for these concepts, but their unveiling hints at exciting developments in the near future.
