The TVS Raider 125 is not a mere commuter bike; this is a roaring statement in two wheels. Its aggressive design, muscular performance along with smart touches still endears it to consumers in the year 2025. The Raider turns riding in a city into a bike adventure and open roads into a thrilling experience.
Design That Demands Attention
TVS has designed the Raider with sharp and muscular stance that is standing out. The headlamp, which consists of LED lamps and DRLs, a sculptured tank, and the split seat arrangement make it look like a streetfighter. The Super Squad Edition featuring Marvel cinematic characters such as Iron Man and Black Panther provides the game with an edgy, but light-spirited edge to its character. The new iGO type has an additional feature of a Boost-mode, which allows accelerating faster, which will make riding even more exciting.
Performance That Delivers
The Raider is driven by the 124.8cc air- and oil- cooled engine that generates 11.2 bhp and 11.75 Nm of torque. The 0-60 km/h is completed in 5.8 seconds which is quite fast in its segment. The gearbox will be 5-speed, and it will offer smooth transitions, and Eco and Power riding styles provide the riders with the performance and fuel economy options. Going into the iGO variant further, its Boost mode introduces yet another degree of fun particularly in overtaking.
Comfort Meets Practicality
Although with the sportive character of this car, the Raider does not lack comfort. The proper riding posture with the comfortable base cushion, and the 5 step adjustable monoshock at the rear, make it commuter friend, to take day in day out. It is easy to drive over potholes and speed bumps and gives a steady ride in uneven roads.
Smart Features for the Modern Rider
TVS had endowed the Raider with a reverse LCD digital screen which can display real-time mileage, gear status as well as ride data. The SmartXonnect version introduces Bluetooth compatibility, which supports following the route, call prompts and audio assistance. These aspects portray the Raider as one of the tech-savvy bikes in its range.
Mileage and Pricing
As it rolls on the road efficiently with an ARAI certified mileage of 60.7 kmpl, and that is just on a 10 litre fuel tank, the Raider is one of the most fuel efficient motorcycles on road. The phone comes in 6 variants, with the cheapest one being the base variant Drum priced at 90,094 and the most expensive being the SmartXonnect edition that cost 1,03,150. This is the reason why it is a great value product to those riders who desire style, performance and features but do not want to push money around.
