Engine and Performance
The TVS Radeon is powered by the company’s highly reliable 109.7cc Dura-Life single-cylinder air-cooled engine, known for its long life. Equipped with Eco-Thrust fuel injection technology, this engine not only ensures a smooth ride but also manages fuel consumption.
This powerful engine produces 8.19 PS of power and 8.7 Nm of torque, providing ample power for frequent overtaking in heavy city traffic. It is paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox that works very precisely, and its top speed of around 90 km/h makes it a balanced commuter bike.
Mileage and Fuel Economy
The biggest and most compelling reason to buy the Radeon is its excellent mileage, which wins over customers. TVS claims that this bike can deliver a fuel efficiency of up to 73.68 km/l under ideal conditions, making it the most economical bike in its segment.
In real-world conditions, the bike easily delivers a steady mileage of around 62 to 65 km/l within the city and up to 70 km/l on the highway. Thanks to its 10-liter fuel tank, you can easily travel 650 to 700 kilometers on a single tank fill, eliminating the hassle of frequent trips to the petrol pump and reducing the burden on your pocket.
Safety and Features
TVS has made no compromises on safety with the Radeon, featuring synchronized braking technology that activates the front brakes in a balanced manner when the rear brakes are applied, reducing the risk of skidding during sudden stops. It features the longest and most comfortable seat in the segment that absorbs rough roads with steely ease, making long journeys a pleasure.
Its high-tech LCD cluster features real-time mileage indicator and low battery indicator, while a USB charging port provides the ultimate convenience of keeping your phone charged while on the go. 18-inch alloy wheels and 5-step adjustable hydraulic suspension make it a true and steely sultan of Indian roads.
