                  Good bike!
                  Bajaj service is really good and pocket friendly. The bike gives excellent mileage of around 43-47 kmpl easily. It has good comfort for highway as well as city rides. Abs works really well during rains, handling is very good, gearbox is smooth. Its bajaj so the engine is very refined. Its very good for a first vehicle.

                  Best Bike in the 125 cc Segment
                  As a mechanical engineer, I chose this bike for its sporty look, strong torque in the 125 cc segment, and comfortable posture for long rides. It also offers good features, a 14V battery, and bright headlights that provide better visibility at night compared to many other bikes. My TVS Raider 125 iGO gives around 75 Kmpl on highways when ridden at 0 to 60 Kmph and about 70 Kmpl above 60 Kmph. In city conditions like Dhule I get around 65 to 70 Kmpl. It also has great pickup strong torque for a 125 cc bike and a comfortable riding posture. Overall I am very happy with its performance. I absolutely love this bike and would recommend it to anyone looking for good looks comfort torque power and useful features in the 125 cc segment. As a mechanical engineer I appreciate its sporty design comfortable posture for long rides strong performance and bright headlight for better night visibility. Overall it offers a great balance of style efficiency and riding comfort.

                  raider is best
                  tvs raider vehicle is most attractive in a young generation boys. This bike is my favourite one Tvs all bikes and scooty is a under budget in 125cc segment tvs bikes. Smart generation and Bluetooth connectivity are so easy and beautiful design. Tvs bikes are most comfortable seats, handling, mileage is best.

                  This bike is super in mileage performance and everything, the maintenance of this bike is also very low, you can go without any hesitation with this bike, because this is the segment killer bike and if you were thinking to buy this bike in 2026 go fir it without a second thought. You were not able to find the same performance in another one.

                  This bike is a highly acclaimed, sporty 125cc commuter that balances performance with efficiency, making it ideal for daily city use. Its standout features include a punchy, refined engine, comfortable, aggressive riding posture, and modern technology like riding modes and a digital display. It's also very useful for distance because of its mileage on highway much better and mileage benefits and having comfortable ride and stylish looks, having fantastic experience than I thought good for youth also.
