If you’re looking to buy a new bike this Diwali, this is a golden opportunity.

The TVS Raider is a sporty 125cc bike that delivers excellent performance in the city and on the highway. It is powered by a 124.8cc air- and oil-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine that produces 11.2 PS of power and 11.2 Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed transmission.

In terms of mileage, the TVS Raider offers an ARAI-certified mileage of 56.7 kmpl. In real life, it can deliver a mileage of 50-55 kmpl in the city and up to 71 kmpl in the country. Its 10-liter fuel tank is sufficient for long distances.
