Your Weekly Dose of Bike Updates: 2025 Yezdi Adventure, TVS RTX 300, and More!

Apart from a couple of new two-wheeler launches, what kept the excitement up last week were leaked photos of TVS’ upcoming offerings. There were more such noteworthy developments in the two-wheeler industry, and just like every Sunday, we bring you a round-up of all such bike updates.

2025 Kawasaki Versys 650 Launch

The 2025 Kawasaki Versys 650 was launched in India at Rs. 7.93 lakh. This makes it Rs. 16,000 dearer than the 2024 version. Besides the bump in price, the bike gets an OBD-2B compliant engine to meet the stricter norms. Kawasaki has also introduced a new, grey with green colourway. Besides these changes, the bike remains the same in all other areas.

New Bajaj Chetak 3503 Launch

Bajaj launched its most affordable 3503 variant of the Chetak. It has been priced at Rs. 1.10 lakh, making it close to Rs. 20,000 cheaper than the 3501 variant. It gets a simple Bluetooth cluster, long charging time, and misses out on sequential turn indicators. While the Chetak 3503 has the same battery pack as the other two variants, the top speed is far lower at 63kmph. The riding range, however, is marginally higher at 155km.

2025 Yezdi Adventure Launch Date

Classic Legends is planning to launch the updated version of the Yezdi Adventure. This facelifted iteration will be launched in India on 15 May. The motorcycle is expected to get visual changes, perhaps with different bodywork. Currently, the Yezdi Adventure has a starting price tag of Rs. 2.10 lakh. The updated version is likely to be at least Rs. 10,000 more expensive than the outgoing model.

TVS Apache RTX 300 Spied

After it was spotted at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025 in January, a fully covered test mule of the TVS RTX 300 adventure bike was recently seen undergoing test runs on public roads. It runs on 19-17-inch alloy wheels with block-pattern tyres. Looks like it also has a decent amount of suspension travel and ground clearance. Powering the Apache RTX 300 is an all-new 299cc, liquid-cooled RTX D4 engine that TVS has developed in-house.

TVS RTS X 300 Supermoto Patented

TVS Motor Company has patented the design of the RTS X 300 Supermoto Concept in India, indicating that its launch is closer. In true supermoto fashion, the RTS X rides on 17-inch wheels wrapped in road-biased Europgrip tyres. Meanwhile, suspension duties are handled by 43mm upside-down forks and a preload-adjustable monoshock with 180mm travel at both ends. A 299cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC motor will power the TVS RTS X 300. This is an all-new motor that TVS has developed in-house to replace the BMW-sourced 312cc motor.
