RTR 125 LC, EVERYDAY URBAN SPORTSBIKE

Aimed at those who want to add excitement to everyday journeys, taking in the daily commute and weekend ride outs, the RTR 125 LC delivers an exhilarating riding experience for A1 licence holders. Ride modes let the rider adapt to changing conditions while a connected 13 cm (5-inch) TFT display, with full-screen map mirroring, adds convenience and reassurance.

On the TVS Motor stand, the RTR 125 LC is shown alongside three new electric models, the M1-S maxi EV scooter, the compact, urban commuter-aimed Orbiter and the tech-led TVS X, demonstrating the breadth and depth of the company’s 2026 offering – up from six models in 2025 to 11 today.

TVS Motor Company builds two- and three-wheelers for 68 million customers in more than 90 countries. Its European chapter opened with a first appearance at EICMA in 2025, soon after the launch of its Global Centre of Excellence for Design and Engineering in Bologna, Italy. The line-up it is building here centres on accessible, urban mobility, and the RTR 125 LC is built for riders who want sporting character in a motorcycle they can use every day.

Key strengths

  • Performance for everyday riding: A liquid-cooled 125cc, four-valve DOHC engine delivers 11 kW (14.9 PS) at 9,000 rpm and 12 Nm at 7,000 rpm, bringing a spirited character to daily commutes and weekend rides.
  • Smooth shifts and greater control: A six-speed gearbox, paired with a multiplate full assist and slipper clutch, supports smooth gear changes and controlled downshifts, helping riders maintain a natural rhythm through changing road conditions.
  • Agile handling: The Synchro Stiff Chassis-Trellis Frame & Cast Swingarm works alongside a 41 mm KYB USD front fork and an adjustable rear monoshock to form a handling package suited to city streets and winding roads.
  • Rider-focused braking: A 300 mm front disc with a radially mounted Bybre caliper and a 240 mm rear disc provide the braking hardware. Dual-channel ABS and ride modes let riders adapt the motorcycle’s responses to changing conditions.
  • Connected journeys: A 13 cm (5 inch) TFT display with multiway Bluetooth connectivity brings navigation into clear view. Full-screen map mirroring and turn-by-turn navigation help riders follow their route, whether travelling across town or exploring somewhere new.

Design and lighting

  • A distinctive tank shoulder-blade design, an aggressive mass-forward stance and sharply sculpted proportions give the TVS RTR 125 LC its streetfighter character. The exposed trellis frame adds to its purposeful appearance.
  • A rectangular LED projector headlamp with a distinctive DRL defines the front, while a tri-split LED tail lamp gives the rear its own identity. LED turn signals complete the lighting package.

Powertrain and transmission

  • A liquid-cooled 125cc, four-valve DOHC engine powers the TVS RTR 125 LC, producing 11 kW (14.9 PS) at 9,000 rpm and 12 Nm at 7,000 rpm.
  • The engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox and a multiplate full assist and slipper clutch, supporting smooth shifts and controlled downshifts. Ride modes allow riders to tailor the riding experience to different conditions.

Chassis and brakes

  • Alloy wheels carry a 100/80-17 front tyre and a 140/70-R17 rear tyre. Braking is handled by a 300 mm front disc with a radially mounted Bybre caliper and a 240 mm rear disc with a Bybre caliper, supported by dual-channel ABS and ride modes.

Connectivity and convenience

  • The TVS RTR 125 LC features a 13 cm (5 inch) TFT display with multiway Bluetooth connectivity. Full-screen map mirroring and turn-by-turn navigation keep route guidance in view, while a hazard lamp adds everyday convenience.
