TVS Raider 125: Features Explained

The TVS Raider 125 is a hugely successful model in the competitive 125cc sporty commuter segment. It is available in six variants: Drum, Single Seat, Spit Seat, iGO, SSE and SX. Here is an in-depth at the features list of the bike:

All variants of the TVS Raider 125 get two riding modes: Power and Eco. The former is the most powerful mode while the latter is a mode more suitable for casual everyday commuting. The bike also gets an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) which helps in starting the motor silently. It also switches off the engine when it idles for longer than a set duration of time. This is especially helpful in increasing the bike’s mileage when one is stuck in a traffic signal. The engine can be turned off by simply pressing the clutch lever. 

The iGO variant gets a ‘boost feature’ which provides an extra oomph of torque for quick overtakes. A notification pops up on the console saying that the boost is ready and a little blip of the throttle activates the torque assist. 

Except for the SX variant, the rest of the variants have an LCD instrument console that shows speedometer, tachometer, odometer, gear position indicator, clock, side-stand indicator and other regular readouts. 

The SX variant has a TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity for call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, voice assist, sports and weather updates, music control, social media updates and much more. 

The TVS Raider is powered by a 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 11.38PS at 7,500rpm and 11.2Nm at 6,000rpm. Its price ranges from Rs 84,869 to Rs 1,04,330 (ex-showroom Delhi) and rivals the likes of the Hero Xtreme 125R and Bajaj Pulsar N125.
