A new feature which is exclusive to the iGO variant is the ‘Boost mode’. When activated, the Boost mode is said to deliver an additional 0.55Nm of torque, it goes up from 11.2Nm to 11.75Nm, to aid in quick overtakes. TVS also claims that with the iGO technology, the Raider’s fuel efficiency has improved by 10 percent. The iGO variant gets the same colour LCD console from the lower variants.
What’s Unchanged?
The bike remains physically unchanged and continues to get the 124.8cc air & oil-cooled engine which makes 11.38PS at 7,500rpm and 11.2Nm at 6,000rpm, and is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. TVS claims the Raider 125 will do the 0-60kmph sprint in 5.8 seconds. The underpinnings include a telescopic fork, dual shock absorbers, a 240mm disc at the front for all variants except the base (which gets 130mm drum brakes at both ends) and a 130mm drum at the rear. It rides on 17-inch alloy wheels on both ends.
In terms of features, the TVS Raider 125 gets a colour LCD console or a TFT screen (available only on the top-variant) with Bluetooth connectivity, mileage indicator, gear position indicator, speedometer, odometer, tripmeters, fuel gauge, clock, and more. The TFT console in the SX variant additionally offers smartphone connectivity with call/SMS alerts, sports and weather updates, and turn-by-turn navigation with voice assist.

I choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.Read More
At the time of selection I was curious in selecting one I already had a 150 in my home. bajaj is so reliable. the model is so cunning with heavy fuel economy with just a standard price offering many specification. If you are a new rider the n125 can be the best for you. The seat is not so comfort whereas the steering balance is buttery smooth. easily managed, smooth clutch and a refined engine ..with the Bluetooth connectivity it is always as easy to ride never before Best version of the 125 segment even competitor for the ns125 with my experience it is best to buy the n125 with all these features with a standard pricing leaving some of the features like tachometer, abs, gear indicator,switch lights..rest is worth for moneyRead More
