New TVS Raider 125 Launched in India with Boost Mode, Dual Disc Brakes and ABS
TVS Motor Company has once again set the tone for the 125cc motorcycle market in India with the new TVS Raider 125. The motorcycle now comes loaded with cutting-edge technology, improved safety, and segment-first offerings catering to young, performance-hungry bikers. Priced at Rs 95,600 (ex-showroom, Delhi) for the TFT Dual Disc variant and Rs 93,800 for the SmartXonnect Dual Disc version, the new Raider 125 puts style, performance, and smart connectivity in one impressive package.
Segment-First Features Upgrading the 125cc Class
The all-new TVS Raider 125 welcomes three segment-first features that make it unique from all other motorcycles in the segment. These include Boost Mode with iGO Assist, Dual Disc Brakes with ABS, and Glide Through Technology (GTT).
Boost Mode with iGO Assist gains immediate torque, allowing for faster acceleration for overtaking or traversing traffic. The system also combines the Integrated Starter Generator and auto start-stop features to provide smoother restarts and improved fuel efficiency.
The use of Dual Disc Brakes with single-channel ABS greatly enhances braking confidence and safety. It keeps the front wheel from becoming unstable under hard or sudden braking, minimizing the likelihood of wheel lock-up and improving control in general.
Yet another distinctive feature is Glide Through Technology (GTT), where the bike glides in traffic without any throttle input. It also automatically adjusts the engine revs to avoid stalling and ensures low-speed urban riding is a breeze and fuel-saving.
Power, Performance, and Design
The new TVS Raider 125 is powered by a refined 124.8cc, 3-valve engine in combination with a 5-speed transmission. The engine churns out 11.2 horsepower and 11.75 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, providing best-in-class performance without compromising mileage.
The all-new Boost Mode enhances the punch of the Raider with a noticeable surge of acceleration whenever needed. With the light chassis, the Raider is agile and responsive in both the city and on highways.
Vizually, the motorcycle continues its sporty and youthful looks with fresh accents. The metallic silver paint job with red alloy wheels brings a bold and dynamic flair. The sculpted fuel tank of the bike, angular LED headlamp, and aerodynamic profile make it easily identifiable on the road.
The Raider also comes with wider tyres (90/90-17 front and 110/80-17 rear) to provide better grip and cornering stability. The upgraded features make the motorcycle safer and more comfortable, providing riders with greater confidence at higher speeds.
Smart Connectivity and Advanced Features
The updated TVS Raider 125 keeps the class at the cutting edge of technology with its SmartXonnect connectivity system. The rider has a choice of two display screens: a full-color TFT screen with 99-plus functions or an 85-plus function Reverse LCD cluster.
Both display screens are Bluetooth-connected and provide access to such features as turn-by-turn directions, voice assist, message and call notices, and ride metrics. This connected platform enables daily commuting to be a cutting-edge, interactive riding experience.
A valuable addition is the Follow Me Home Headlamp mode. It maintains the headlight on for a brief period after shutting off the ignition, offering improved illumination when parking or leaving the motorcycle in dim lighting.
Comfort and Ride Experience
The TVS Raider 125 has been developed with both comfort and functionality for the rider. Its ergonomically styled split seat arrangement provides the rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. The positioning of the handlebar and footpegs provides an upright but sporty riding position, ideal for urban commuting and weekend getaways.
Suspension tasks are managed by telescopic front forks and a gas-charged rear monoshock, providing a smooth and stable ride even on rough roads. The larger tyres further enhance stability when cornering and braking. Glide Through Technology provides a smooth riding experience in congested traffic, minimizing fatigue resulting from constant clutch and throttle action.
Statement from TVS Motor Company
Speaking at the launch, Aniruddha Haldar, Senior Vice President – Commuter and EV Business and Corporate Brand and Media at TVS Motor Company, said:
“The TVS Raider redefines what young riders can seek from their motorcycle. With Boost Mode powered by iGO Assist, Dual Disc with ABS, and Glide Through Technology, the new Raider raises the wicked bar once again. We remain committed to creating motorcycles that our customers are delighted to ride and proud to own.”
This statement indicative TVS Motor’s dedication to combining innovation, technology, and customer- focused design in every new model it introduces.
Why the New TVS Raider 125 Stands Out
The TVS Raider 125 is more than a commuter bike. It’s for young, aspiring riders who seek performance, safety, and intelligent technology in one package. The sporty design of the bike, segment-first Boost Mode, and connected features bring it to the ranks of being one of India’s most sophisticated 125cc bikes.
With its potent engine, smooth handling, plush ergonomics, and advanced braking, the new Raider 125 will be a benchmark for the premium commuter category. It is a perfect blend of utility and excitement, delivering a premium feel at an affordable price point.
Conclusion
The launch of the TVS Raider 125 new model reiterates TVS Motor Company’s position as a leading two-wheeler innovation brand in India. With the addition of Boost Mode, Dual Disc Brakes with ABS, Glide Through Technology, and SmartXonnect connectivity, the Raider 125 provides everything that today’s riders want – performance, safety, style, and technology.
Ready to rule city streets and hearts of young riders, the new Raider 125 is now on sale at all TVS dealerships nationwide. Its combination of exciting performance and modern features makes it the real “Wicked by Design” personality in the making.
