TVS Raider 125 Single Seat Variant: All You Need To Know

The tvs raider is one of the most popular sporty 125cc bikes in India, known for its aggressive design and performance to match. The Single Seat variant focuses on delivering the Raider’s sporty appeal while subjectively being more comfortable due to its single-piece seat. Here’s what it offers and whether it suits your needs:

Price & Positioning

The TVS Raider 125 Single Seat sits above the base Drum variant, and below the more sporty Split Seat variant. Here’s our detailed variant explainer for the Raider.

Looks

The TVS Raider gets a sporty design, but the Single Seat version is different because it gets a single-piece seat as compared to the Split Seat setup on the other variants 

• Sharp looking LED headlamp with split DRLs

• Sporty fuel tank with extensions

• Underbelly engine cowl adds to its sporty intent 

• Compact rear section with an LED tail lamp

It is offered in two colours: Striking Red, and Wicked Black. Also check out our detailed image gallery of the Raider.

Features

The Single Seat variant keeps things simple and practical:

• Colour LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, phone alerts, music controls, and even a voice assistant

• Gear position indicator, real-time and average mileage display

• ‘ISG’ – Integrated Starter Generator (Silent starter)

The console has a clean layout, is easy to read, and displays all necessary information for commuting.

Other convenience features include:

• Side-stand down engine cut-off sensor

• USB charging port

Here’s our detailed feature explainer for the Raider.

Safety & Hardware

The Single Seat variant offers:

• Front 240mm petal disc, and rear 130mm drum brakes – with combined braking system (CBS)

• Telescopic fork and monoshock 

This setup provides decent braking performance for everyday city riding and even the occasional highway run.

Engine & Performance

The Raider Single Seat uses the same engine as the rest of the lineup.

The assist from the ISG gives a slight electric boost when you accelerate and during overtakes. The GTT (Glide Through Technology) helps you ride at low speeds without any throttle input, especially useful in stop-and-go traffic.

Our Take

The TVS Raider 125 Single Seat is for riders who want the sharp styling and performance but with the comfort of a single-piece seat. If you want a split seat setup or ABS, you will need to look at higher spec variants. If you want to buy this TVS bike, check out our Ultimate Buying Guide.
