What makes us enthusiasts happy is seeing the sporty TVS Raider back again on the list that’s dominated by commuters. The peppy, little bike sure is a hoot to ride in the city. It even saw a massive 139 per cent jump in sales despite being one of the priciest bikes on this list.
Next on the list were the Hero Super Splendor and the Hero Glamour. While the Super Splendor saw an 18 per cent increase in YoY sales, the Glamour saw a shocking 60 per cent fall in the YoY sales. Now, Hero has indeed scaled down the bike’s production, but that’s only by about 36 per cent.

Good response from the customerI bough this TVS raider in Jan 2026. Till now, i did not face any issues with it. This costs around 1.25 Lakhs including EMI. This can be a good commuter bike in 125cc bike models. E20 facility is also added in this bike. Handling is very good in this bike. I feel so comfortable when i ride on highways. I like rear foot support to provide comfort for pillion rider while having seat. Good mileage bike under 125cc bikes. This is kind of family bike with sporty look. City riding people can prefer this mostly. This is a best mileage bike under 1.25Lakhs. i would recommend to change the colour of ABS channel(red colour) to black.Read More
