TVS HLX Series - The 2-Wheeler Workhorse for Commercial Delivery and Personal Mobility

Built for riders who need more than a straightforward commute, the TVS Motor Company’s HLX series has grown into a platform that supports commercial deliveries as much as daily travel.

The TVS HLX 150X 5G and the TVS STAR HLX 125 are two models built for riders who put the bike to work: motorcycle taxi operators, commercial delivery riders, and business owners who rely on their bike to generate an income, not just get them from A to B.

Bikes built to work

TVS HLX 150x 5G

The HLX 150X 5G is engineered for load-carrying and long days on the road. Its 147.49cc four-stroke, air-cooled engine delivers 8.9kW at 7500rpm and 12.3Nm of torque at 5000rpm, paired with a five-gear transmission.

An 18-inch rear alloy wheel and tubeless tyres add stability under load, while an extended seat and reinforced carrier make room for a passenger or cargo.

Built to handle heavy cargo and frequent passenger transport (think last mile taxi feeder work). Better suited for steep inclines, uneven rural roads, and demanding environments that require extra acceleration and torque without any strain.

For long-distance hauling, it handles extended hours and long-distance highway cruising with less engine strain, aided by a robust 5-speed gearbox and heavy-duty suspension.

TVS STAR HLX 125

The STAR HLX 125 follows the same brief in a lighter, more fuel-conscious package, giving riders an entry point into the range without giving up the durability the HLX name is known for.

Daily Commuting is a breeze, ideal for standard city and town travel where fuel conservation is the top priority.

Suited for light cargo, courier tasks, and moderate stop-and-go urban trips.

Economy is a focus, featuring a lighter frame and a fuel-efficient 124.53cc engine (delivering around 8 kW and 11 Nm) designed to keep daily running costs minimal.

Utility-focused mobility

For businesses and riders considering the HLX 150X 5G or HLX 125, these are not stripped-down city runabouts chasing the lowest possible price point. They are rugged, utility-focused motorcycles built to work and last.

The continued expansion in South Africa’s on-demand delivery segment, including category expansion beyond food into high-frequency convenience retail, is driving demand for agile, lower-cost delivery mobility. The TVS HLX series is well on track to becoming the leading 2-wheeler behind South Africa’s commuting and income mobility.

Availability in South Africa

The TVS HLX is available in South Africa through The Nexus Collective, supported by a national dealership network for sales, service and spare parts.

These bikes bring excellent build quality not often experienced in bikes in this class, and it’s this reliability behind TVS’ serious sales volumes globally. Surpassing five million units in global sales since its 2013 launch, the HLX series is cemented as one of the most trusted names in personal mobility and commercial delivery transport across more than 57 countries.
