TVS Raider 125 TFT DD Variant: All You Need To Know

The tvs raider has become one of the most popular sporty commuter bikes in India, thanks to its sharp styling, peppy performance and feature-packed variants. At the top of the lineup sits the Raider 125 TFT DD, which brings in added safety over the lower trims. Here’s a simple breakdown of what this top variant offers and whether it makes sense for you.

Price & Positioning

The TVS Raider 125 TFT DD is priced at Rs Rs 97,050 (ex-showroom, Delhi). It sits above the SXC DD variant and is one of the most feature-loaded 125cc bikes currently on sale.

Looks

The Raider already has a sporty design, and the TFT DD variant carries the same aggressive styling.

• Sharp LED headlamp with LED DRLs

• Muscular fuel tank with sporty extensions

• Split seat setup for a sporty feel

• Engine cowl and underbelly pan add to the premium look

• Comes in a ‘Striking Red’ colour scheme with contrasting graphics

• 17-inch alloy wheels with wider tyres than before (90-section front, 110-section rear)

While the design remains unchanged from other variants, the wider tyres and rear disc brake add to its visual appeal.

Features

This is where the TFT DD stands out the most.

• 5-inch TFT digital console

• Bluetooth connectivity

• Turn-by-turn navigation

• Call and SMS alerts

• Voice assist

• Ride statistics and mileage data

The screen layout looks modern and is easy to read in most lighting conditions, making it feel more premium than the LCD units seen on lower variants.

Other convenience features include:

• LED lighting all around

• USB charging port

• Side-stand engine cut-off

• A small storage space under the pillion seat

Safety & Hardware

The TFT DD brings important upgrades in safety compared to older Raider variants:

• Single-channel ABS (front wheel)

• Disc brakes at both ends

• Wider tyres for better grip and stability

• The bike continues with a telescopic fork and monoshock

These changes improve braking confidence, especially for new riders and during emergency stops.

Engine & Performance

The Raider TFT DD uses the same engine as the rest of the lineup.

It also gets TVS iGo Assist, which provides a small electric boost while accelerating, and Glide Through Technology, which helps the bike move smoothly at low speeds in traffic without any throttle input.

Our Take

The TVS Raider 125 TFT DD is aimed at riders who want a commuter bike that feels modern and feature-rich. The TFT display, Bluetooth functions, dual disc brakes and ABS make it one of the most tech-loaded options in the 125cc segment. If you just want basic commuting, lower variants may be enough. But if you like having more tech, better braking hardware and a slightly more premium feel, the TFT DD variant is worth considering.
