The new TVS Raider isn’t just a bike, it’s a declaration that even a small engine can now have big power. It’s designed for riders who go to college, commute to work, or plan short weekend trips with friends. Let’s take a closer look at what makes the new TVS Raider the most advanced bike in its segment.
Pricing and Variants
The new TVS Raider is offered in two variants, allowing every rider to choose the right option based on their needs and budget. The Raider SXC DD variant is priced at ₹93,800 (ex-showroom), while the Raider TFT DD variant is priced at ₹95,600 (ex-showroom). These prices make it a strong competitor to rivals like the Hero Xstream 125R, Honda CB 125 Hornet, and Bajaj Pulsar 125. This bike will be available at all TVS dealerships starting this month, making it accessible to young people across the country.
Features
The TVS Raider boasts the distinction of being India’s first 125cc bike to feature three unique features, dubbed “The Wicked Troika.” The first feature is Boost Mode, which works with iGO Assist technology. When you need extra power, such as when overtaking or on an uphill climb, Boost Mode instantly provides extra thrust. The second feature is dual disc brakes with single-channel ABS. This segment-first feature elevates safety to a new level. The third feature is Glide-Through Technology (GTT), which helps the bike handle smoothly at low speeds and improves fuel efficiency.
Design and Tires
The new TVS Raider has been designed keeping in mind the tastes of young people. It features sporty red alloy wheels and a new metallic silver finish, making it even more attractive. To further enhance the bike’s performance, it has been fitted with new tire sizes. The front tire is 90/90-17, while the rear tire is 110/80-17. These wider tires not only provide better grip on smooth roads but also act as a confidence booster on rough terrain. These tires provide better stability during cornering. It also features a segment-first Follow Me headlamp feature, which remains on for some time even after the ignition and engine are turned off, making it easier to see the road at night.
Technology and Connectivity
The TVS Raider is packed with technology. Riders have the option to choose from two display options: a color TFT display with over 99 features, and a reverse LCD display with over 85 features. These displays are not only stylish but also equipped with cutting-edge technology. The bike also features the TVS SmartXonnect platform, which offers features like Bluetooth connectivity, voice assist, turn-by-turn navigation, call handling, and notification management. You can connect your smartphone to the bike and view all the necessary information on the display.
Engine and Performance
The new TVS Raider is powered by a 3-valve 125cc engine that generates a class-leading 11.75 Nm of torque. This torque is better than other 125cc motorcycles in the segment. This engine is tuned to deliver not only superior performance on urban roads but also a confident riding experience on the highway. The bike also features multiple ride modes that optimize performance for different riding conditions.
If you want a 125cc bike that offers the perfect balance of style, performance, safety, and technology, the new TVS Raider is the perfect choice. This bike will not only meet your everyday needs but will also make every ride a memorable experience.
