Day 2 of TVS MotoSoul 5.0 unfolded with an impressive display of innovation, design, technology and rider-focused experiences as TVS Motor Company introduced major advancements for the future of motorcycling. The company showcased the Aegis Rider Vision AR HUD Helmet, representing the next era of safety technology, built on advanced AR capabilities with spatial anchoring that projects speed, navigation cues, alerts and notifications directly into the rider’s line of sight. Featuring a binocular µOLED system, integrated action camera, adaptive brightness, wireless connectivity, OTA updates and a 7,000mAh battery, the helmet’s carbon fibre shell—co-developed with Nexx Helmets—meets global ECE 22.06 and CE standards.

TVS Motor also announced a new partnership between TVS Racing and MT Helmets to bring internationally acclaimed ECE-certified helmets to India, starting at ₹5,999, combining TVS Racing’s performance heritage with MT’s expertise in world-class safety engineering. The day also marked the launch of the TVS Racing Offroad Training Academy, designed to help riders build foundational off-road and adventure skills.

Led by TVS Racing champions and international instructors, the academy focuses on terrain navigation, body control, balance, bike handling and confidence building for amateur riders. Beyond the major announcements, TVS Motor reinforced its commitment to community and safety through a children’s helmet distribution drive in Vagator, where 100 helmets were provided to students of St. Michael’s Convent High School to instill early awareness around road safety.

Throughout the day, MotoSoul 5.0 delivered a vibrant mix of racing, culture and community engagement with the high-adrenaline RiderSphere and FMX showcase, along with Gymkhana challenges, flat track and dirt arenas, adventure zones, stunt challenges, motocross-fit sessions and creator interactions. The festival atmosphere remained energetic with moto-art, skill games, graffiti walls, mixology counters and community meetups.

The evening closed on a high note with electrifying performances by Nucleya and Lagori, encapsulating the spirit of music, motorcycling and culture that MotoSoul represents.
