Engine & Performance
The TVS Raider 125 comes with a 124.8cc air-cooled engine that gives a smooth and reliable performance. It produces around 11.4 horsepower, which is enough for both city rides and short highway trips. The bike has a 5-speed gearbox that helps in easy and smooth gear changes. One of the new features added is the OBD2 sensor, which keeps a check on the bike’s pollution levels. This makes the Raider follow the latest BS6 Phase-2 rules, meaning it’s more eco-friendly and better for the environment.
Tyre Info
The TVS Raider 125 comes with tubeless tyres for added safety and convenience. The front tyre is 80/100 – 17, while the rear tyre is slightly wider at 100/90 – 17, giving good grip and balance on the road.
The bike also features alloy wheels as standard, which not only look stylish but also add to its strong road presence. In terms of braking, the base variant comes with drum brakes on both the front and rear — there is no disc brake in this base version. For a smoother ride, the front suspension uses telescopic forks, which handle bumps and rough roads quite well. The bike uses regular bulb indicators instead of LED ones.
Conclusion
The TVS Raider 125 continues to be one of the most stylish and feature-loaded bikes in the 125cc segment. With this update, TVS has addressed one of the few missing features — the kick-start — making it even more special for Indian conditions.
If you're looking for a best bike that doesn't compromise on style, performance, or practicality, the Raider is definitely worth considering.
