At the front, it features signature LED DRLs (daytime running lights), which give it a fiery look at night. The stepped seat and single-piece swingarm in the side profile further enhance its streetfighter vibe.
The bike has a wheelbase of 1,300 mm, making it perfect for stable riding. With a ground clearance of 180 mm, it will handle Indian roads with ease, whether it’s potholes or speed breakers. It features an LED taillight and blinkers at the rear, while the broad tires (90/90 front and 110/80 rear) on 17-inch alloy wheels take grip to the next level. Overall, the looks are not only killer but also practical – weighing just 140 kg, it’s easy to handle. If your style statement is a bike, the Apache 125 will be your best friend.

Safety: ABS and more, which saves lives.
There’s no compromise on safety. It features a 260mm disc brake at the front and a 130mm drum brake at the rear, but the top variant comes standard with dual-channel ABS. This ABS prevents wheel lock during high-speed braking, especially in wet conditions. It also has CBS (Combi-Braking System), which provides balanced braking on both wheels.
The suspension setup consists of telescopic front forks and a gas-charged rear monoshock, which effectively absorbs bumps. The tires are from MRF, providing good grip and stability.

With a 12-liter fuel tank, a full tank provides a range of 700-800 km. The iECO stop-start technology saves fuel in traffic. This bike is wallet-friendly for daily commuters.
