The Hero Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition is Rs 12,730 more expensive than the TVS Raider TFT DD variant.

Hero Xtreme 125R TFT


The newly-launched Hero Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition gets an understated black shade as its base; the red alloy wheels elevate its sporty stance. The tank shrouds further elevates its character, giving the sporty commuter a good balance between design and practicality.


It is powered by a 125 cc air-cooled engine, which pushes 11.4 PS and 10.5 Nm. The motor is paired to a 5-speed gearbox. The bike is suspended on a telescopic fork with a rear monoshock at the back. Braking hardware includes disc brakes at both ends. 


In terms of features, the bike gets a 4.2-inch TFT display, which enables connectivity features such as mobile connectivity, call/SMS and turn-by-turn navigation. The TFT display looks minimal and easy to read. Also, the sporty commuter gets a cruise control, which comes in handy while riding long distances.

The bike gets a ride-by-wire throttle, which enables 3 ride modes: Rain, Road, and Sport; these modes alter the throttle response of the bike according to the mode selected. Additionally, the bike gets a TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), which is a very convenient feature that helps you monitor real-time air pressure in the tyre. Also, the bike gets dual-channel ABS but misses out on traction control.  

TVS Raider TFT DD


The TVS Raider has a mature design language; it is not as sharp as the Xtreme 125R but gets a flowing design. The headlight looks like it has taken some design cues from the ‘Transformers’. Overall the design looks apt for someone looking for a sporty commuter, with minimal design elements. 

Powering the bike is a 124.8 cc air-cooled engine, which makes 11.4 PS and 11.75 Nm. It makes the same power as the Xtreme 125R but more torque (+1.25 Nm). Suspension hardware is similar, with a conventional fork and a monoshock at the rear. Braking duties are taken care of by discs at both ends. 


Feature-wise, the Raider gets a 5-inch TFT display, which hosts features such as mobile connectivity, call/SMS alerts and navigation as standard. The bike also gets a dedicated app, in which you can see your ride report. Safety-wise the bike gets dual-channel ABS and traction control, making the bike safer. 

BikeDekho Says 

If you want a sporty commuter with aggressive styling, the Hero Xtreme 125R is a good choice. The Xtreme 125R also gets cruise control, three ride modes and TPMS, making it a feature-rich package. However, it misses out on traction control, which the Raider offers.

The TVS Raider, on the other hand, makes more sense if you prioritise safety features and don't mind missing out on TPMS. It is also Rs 12,730 more affordable than the Xtreme 125R Stealth Edition, making it a better value-for-money option.

User Reviews

Raider review

It is better than others in terms of looks and mileage. However, sometimes it feels expensive due to maintenance costs. Gear shifting can also be difficult at times, and the ground clearance is insufficient for two people sitting on the bike, especially when crossing speed breakers.Read More

Well maintained with no any dent t is present.

For daily city riding the engine is smooth and responsive. It’s particularly good for overtaking and quick acceleration compared with many conventional 125cc commuters bikes. A practical expectation 50/60 km/l. Brakes and safety. Higher variant get single ABS Channel. Bike have the full safety features that any bike may hardly have. Read More
