New TVS Radeon Mid Variant Explained

The TVS Radeon has consistently been a great competitor in the 110cc commuter segment, valued for its superb mileage, reliability, and comfort for riders. With the launch of the 2026 Radeon, it recently received a complete feature update.

The Digi Drum variant, priced at Rs 70,100 (ex-showroom Delhi), sits between the base and the top variants. That puts it over Rs 3,000 above the base variant. This price premium buys you a couple of convenience features.

Design & Styling

Looking at any variant of the Radeon, one might not be able to tell the difference between them. The mid-spec variant comes in three colours: Black & Orange Drum, Red & Black DT Drum, and Black & Red Drum. 

Funnily though, the Black & Red Drum colour of this variant and Black & Red colour of the Base are exactly the same. 

Features

This is where the extra pricing begins to make a difference. Sitting at the middle, this variant has a colour-LCD instrument display, a major upgrade from the analogue cluster on the base variant. The most useful feature here is the realtime mileage indicator, which helps in keeping a track of how efficient your riding is. 

It also shows a digital clock, trip meters, tachometer, odometer, and service reminders, low-battery warning, helmet reminder and Eco and Power lights. While they’re not riding modes per se, they light up depending on how you ride - whether aggressively (PWR) or in a relaxed manner (ECO). 

There is also a USB-C port just on the left side of the digital display to keep your devices juiced up. The all-LED lighting setup is standard across the variants. 

Engine & Performance

All the variants of the Radeon are mechanically identical, sharing the 109.7cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine. TVS tuned it for low-end drivability while being frugal in terms of mileage. We got a respectable average mileage of 66.2kmpl in the city and 63.97kmpl on the highway. 

There is also a low rpm assist feature (new to the 2026 Radeon) which helps you crawl through the dense traffic with only clutch (which is already light) modulation, helping your right hand relax a bit. This feature is common across the variants.

Safety & Hardware

Braking is where the Base and Digi Drum variants become identical again. They share a braking setup of a 130 mm drum on the front and a 110 mm drum on the rear. The suspension setup is also common across the variants: a telescopic fork handles the front, while the rear gets a pair of 5-step adjustable shock absorbers.

BikeDekho Says

The freshly updated 2026 TVS Radeon is a great value-for-money commuter. However, this Digi Drum variant feels neither here nor there as the only really useful feature it offers over the base variant is the mileage indicator. The Rs 3,000 premium over the base doesn’t make a lot of sense especially when you consider the fact that paying Rs 3,000 more over the mid variant will give you the top model complete with a front disc brake. The disc is an extremely important upgrade, and we would definitely recommend the top variant.
