TVS Motor Company is looking to make a big splash in the 125 cc segment and the company is gearing up to introduce a scooter and a motorcycle in this space. In fact, the Hosur-based manufacturer has now confirmed that TVS will be introducing a 125 cc motorcycle as early as the end of September 2021, and this has us all excited. The company is tight-lipped about the upcoming offering and speculations are rife that this could be called the TVS Fiero 125. For those unaware, the two-wheeler maker sold the Fiero 150 nearly two decades ago under the TVS-Suzuki partnership. It was later replaced by the TVS Apache 150. In essence, the company will be reviving the moniker.

While details are scarce at the moment, the upcoming 125 cc offering is expected to be a sporty model. This will be the company's first 125 cc motorcycle in recent years and will help bridge the gap between the Star City+ and the Apache RTR 180 in the TVS' portfolio. Moreover, the new model will help take on a number of bikes including the Bajaj Pulsar 125, Honda CB Shine, Hero Glamour, and the likes. Expect to see a sporty yet commuter-friendly design language, a feature-packed console, and a powerful engine. Of course, we are yet to see the model but we do expect to learn more about it in the days to come. TVS could also pair the engine with a 5-speed gearbox in a bid to make it more efficient.

At present, TVS sells the highly successful NTorq in the segment and the model has managed to garner a strong following among enthusiasts. Speculations suggest that the 125 cc scooter will be more of a family-oriented offering that takes on the Suzuki Access and Honda Activa. It could also be called the TVS Jupiter 125 upon launch, building on the success of the nameplate. There's no word on when the 125 cc scooter will arrive but we could see the model launch around the festive season.
