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.
