The TVS Raider 125 practically popularised the sporty 125cc segment in the country. It has been quite a popular motorcycle among the buyers who want a fuel-efficient motorcycle that can handle city commutes with ease and also the occasional highway runs.
TVS sold 24,511 units of the bike in July 2025, that’s a 10.80% decrease in MoM sales, while the YoY sales have been quite consistent with just a 0.14% decrease. Even though the brand launched two new colour schemes for the Raider recently, the launch of the Hero Glamour X 125 poses a big threat to the Raider’s sales. We’ll have to wait and see how the numbers turn up in the following months.

The Hero Super Splendor has been synonymous with reliability, ease of riding, and hassle-free ownership since its launch. It has all the good fundamental qualities, just like the Hero Splendor Plus, but comes with a larger 125cc engine.
Despite these qualities it managed to tally only 12,488 units in July 2025. This is a significant decrease in MoM sales by 38.87%. The YoY sales, though, show an increase of 18.54%. 
Hero Xtreme 125R

In July 2025, Hero sold 12,287 units of the Hero Xtreme 125R, a 23.06% decrease in MoM sales. The YoY sales too show a similar trend with a 52.44% decline, which is quite a lot. This is despite the launch of the single-piece seat variant of the Xtreme 125 in April. It’s high time Hero offers a similar set of features as the Glamour X 125 on the sportier Xtreme 125R – that will go a long way in bringing the Xtreme’s market share back.

- My experience with TVS Raider.I wanted a bike with a decent mileage per litre because my work demands inter district commute. And after extensive search I found Raider. I wanted a bike that wasn't too boring for a mileage centred bike and this was my fair bet. Overall ride experience is satisfactory. Braking is bit off, that can be improved but if you're going in a decent speed, it shouldn't be a concern for you but if you're in a rush, it sure will affect you in one way or the other. But didn't have any bad experience till this day. Yeah, I'd recommend this bike but its safe, if you give it a test drive and make sure it's suited according to your needs. You should not feel bad after making the purchase in my opinion. But its a solid choice according to me.Read More

- good bike for daily useOverall very good bike with reasonable price and engine performance, but yes some vibration in engine at high speed around 70.
