The RTR 125 will join the company's existing and upcoming range of motorcycles in Europe, which includes the RR 310, RTR 310, Ronin and RTX 300.

While the RTR 125 is intended for new and younger riders, the other models cater to customers looking for different riding experiences, including sport motorcycles, roadsters and adventure-oriented machines.

The RTX 300, which was introduced at EICMA 2025, is also scheduled to arrive at European dealerships. Its addition will help TVS Motor expand its presence in the adventure touring category.

The company has not yet announced market-specific prices, final specifications or availability timelines for the four production-ready models. These details are expected closer to their respective European launches.

TVS Motor strengthens global engineering and design capabilities

TVS Motor's international expansion is backed by an engineering and manufacturing network spanning India, Singapore, the United Kingdom and Bologna in Italy.

India remains central to the company's product development, advanced engineering, manufacturing and quality operations. Its Global Centre of Excellence for Design and Engineering in Bologna has further strengthened its capabilities following the acquisition of Engines Engineering S.p.A.

The international network brings together expertise in product design, electric powertrains, connected technologies and performance engineering. It also allows the company to incorporate feedback and requirements from different markets into the product development process.
