The vibrant shores of Goa set the stage for an electrifying celebration as TVS Motor Company hosted the fifth edition of its flagship motorcycling festival, MotoSoul 5.0. Drawing over 8,000 riders from around the world, the festival became a melting pot of innovation, culture, craftsmanship and the shared joy of riding. This year’s edition carried special significance as TVS marked twenty years of the iconic Apache brand while unveiling fresh design expressions and exclusive creations that captivated enthusiasts throughout Day 1.
A marquee highlight of the festival was the debut of the TVS Ronin Agonda, a limited-edition motorcycle inspired by the calm, confident and contemporary visual energy of Goa’s Agonda Beach. With its white-led palette, retro five-stripe graphics and modern-retro identity, the Ronin Agonda brings forward the brand’s evolving design philosophy rooted in individuality and expression. Adding to the excitement was the reveal of the TVS Apache RTX Anniversary Edition, dressed in an exclusive black and champagne gold livery with special badging to commemorate two decades of Apache’s racing-bred engineering and a global community of 6.5 million riders.
The festival also showcased two custom masterpieces built in collaboration with Smoked Garage — the TVS Ronin Kensai and the TVS Apache RR310 Speedline. The Ronin Kensai embodies a dual-soul character with its café racer stance that effortlessly transforms into a muscular bobber, supported by air suspension, industrial floating seat design, upright exhaust and CNC-machined components. On the performance front, the Apache RR310 Speedline reimagines aerodynamic flow with slick tyres, a bespoke swingarm, composite bodywork and a performance exhaust designed for uninterrupted speed and razor-sharp handling.
Expanding its design language beyond motorcycles, TVS Motor introduced the limited-edition ‘Art of Protection’ helmet series exclusively for MotoSoul attendees. These helmets combine functional safety with a crafted artistic identity, mirroring the expressive ethos of the Ronin lineup.
Day 1 of MotoSoul 5.0 pulsed with energy as riders immersed themselves in high-adrenaline showcases, including the RiderSphere, FMX freestyle aerial acts, Gymkhana, Flat Track and Dirt Track challenges along with the Adventure Arena. Cultural zones featuring moto art, graffiti walls, gaming booths, tattoo spaces and freestyle rap added vibrant layers to the festival’s ambience. As dusk turned into night, electrifying performances by Badshah and DJ Akbar Sami transformed the venue into a pulsating celebration of music and motorcycling spirit.
MotoSoul 5.0 opened with gratitude and vision, as TVS Motor Chairman Sudarshan Venu highlighted the festival’s role in celebrating individuality, youth expression and the shared passion that unites riders across continents. The excitement, energy and camaraderie on display reaffirmed MotoSoul’s growing global influence as a festival where riders, creators and enthusiasts come together to celebrate freedom on two wheels.
