Tehuelche was an Argentine motorcycle that was produced between March 1957 and 1964.

The Tehuelche was the only Argentine motorcycle that was mass-produced continuously in Argentina for seven years.[1]

The Tehuelche competed with the Puma Primera and Puma Segunda (from Guericke), the Zanella (from Ceccato), and the Gilera. The Tehuelche distinguished itself not only by the characteristic sound of its gear train (SOHC engine) but also by its racing performance.
