The TVS Raider 125 stands out in the commuter segment with its bold styling and sporty stance. Targeted at young riders and college-goers, the Raider features sharp LED headlamps with aggressive DRLs, muscular tank extensions, a split-seat setup, and a sculpted rear with a stylish LED tail lamp.
Sporty and Aggressive Design With Youth Appeal
The overall body language feels more like a streetfighter than a typical commuter, and this fresh approach has made the Raider highly popular among the younger generation. It is available in eye-catching colors with premium decals and finishes that elevate its road presence. Despite its sporty design, the bike remains compact and easy to maneuver, making it well-suited for city use.
Refined 125cc Engine With Best-in-Class Ride Modes
Powering the Raider is a 124.8cc air and oil-cooled engine producing 11.4 PS at 7500 rpm and 11.2 Nm torque at 6000 rpm. This engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox, and the Raider delivers quick acceleration with linear power delivery that works well in both traffic and open roads. One of the most unique aspects of the Raider 125 is its three ride modes – Eco, Power, and Rain – a segment-first feature that lets riders optimize performance and efficiency on the go. In Eco mode, the bike returns an ARAI-certified mileage of 67 km/l, making it one of the most fuel-efficient 125cc bikes in India. The ride quality is smooth, and the suspension is tuned for comfort while the lightweight chassis ensures agile handling.
Advanced Digital Console With SmartXonnect Tech
The TVS Raider 125 features a fully digital LCD instrument cluster on the standard variant, while the top-end variant gets a 5-inch TFT display with TVS SmartXonnect Bluetooth technology. Riders can access turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, ride analytics, and voice assistance, all from the dashboard. Other features include a gear position indicator, real-time mileage, fuel range, top-speed recorder, and side-stand engine cut-off. The Raider also has a USB charging port and under-seat storage for added convenience. The switchgear quality is premium, and the rider ergonomics are sporty yet comfortable for daily rides and occasional highway cruising.
Top-Notch Suspension, Brakes, and Build Quality
TVS has equipped the Raider with a telescopic front fork and monoshock rear suspension, tuned for urban comfort and spirited riding. Braking duties are handled by a 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum, with synchronized braking technology (SBT) for added safety. The bike sits on 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres offering excellent road grip. The build quality feels solid and well-finished, with thoughtful features like engine kill switch, hazard lights, and an idle start-stop system that boosts fuel efficiency in stop-go traffic. The bike weighs just 123 kg, contributing to nimble performance without compromising on stability.
Affordable Pricing With Youth-Focused Value Offering
The TVS Raider 125 is available in multiple variants, starting from around ₹95,000 (ex-showroom) and going up to ₹1.03 lakh for the top-end SmartXonnect variant. This competitive pricing, combined with class-leading features, stylish design, and exceptional mileage, makes it one of the best value-for-money bikes in the 125cc segment. It competes directly with Bajaj Pulsar 125, Hero Glamour XTEC, and Honda SP125, yet manages to outshine them with its sporty character and tech features. Whether you’re a college student, a first-time buyer, or someone looking for a stylish commuter with premium appeal, the Raider 125 delivers excitement, economy, and everyday practicality in one complete package.
