2022 TVS Raider Launch Today:
Mechanically, the updated TVS Raider is expected to carry forward the same 124.8cc single-cylinder engine that produces 11.2 bhp and 11.2 Nm of torque. The powertrain is mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox and it rivals other 125cc commuter bikes such as the Honda Shine, Bajaj Pulsar 125 etc.
Currently, the TVS Raider 125 is offered in two variants – Disc and Drum priced at Rs 93,489 and Rs 85,973 respectively. Both variants are available in four color options – Red, Yellow Blue and Black.
The 2022 TVS Raider is launched at Rs. 99,990 with an updated TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity, voice controls and turn-by-turn navigation as well.
The updated TVS Raider will continue to rival the likes of the Hero Glamour, Honda Shine, and the Bajaj CT 125X.
The TVS Motoverse is a tech enabled virtual experience platform curated by the brand and used to unveil the new TVS Raider 125 today. It will also lay the platform for TVS's future launches and events.
Currently, the TVS Raider 125 is priced at Rs. 93,489 for the disc variant and Rs. 85,973 for the drum variant. We expect a little premium to be added to the price for the tech updates.
The updated TVS Raider will continue to be powered by the same 124.8cc single-cylinder three-valve engine that produces 11.22 bhp at 7500 rpm and a peak torque of 11.2 Nm at 6000 rpm. The powertrain is mated to a 5-speed gearbox and the bike claims to sprint 0-60kmph in 5.9 seconds.
The TVS Raider 125 was launched a year ago with a reverse display, making it quite a sweet deal in its segment. The commuter motorcycle is likely to get a new 5-inch colored TFT cluster with TVS proprietary SmartXonnect Bluetooth connectivity! It might also get Voice Assist and Turn-By-Turn Navigation!
