TVS Apache 125: A new gift of sports bike for the youth
The 125cc bike segment in India has always been popular among the people. The bikes of this segment are affordable, give good mileage and are perfect for everyday use. But when it comes to a little sporty style and premium feel, people often start looking at bikes of 150cc or above.

Engine and performance: Small engine, big fun
The engine will be a single-cylinder air-cooled unit 124.8cc. That engine has an output of between 11 and 12 PS, along with a torque of 11 Nm, and while the numbers may not seem large, they are nevertheless considered significantly powerful for a 125cc bike segment.
The bike features a 5-speed gear system to ensure smooth transitions between gears. This gearbox will definitely come in handy moving through city traffic and on highways when driving at a faster pace.
