- The upcoming TVS bike features an info-packed fully digital instrument cluster.

- Expect it to be priced on par with other premium 125cc commuters like the Hero Glamour X-Tec and the Honda SP125.
TVS is set to launch its new 125cc motorcycle tomorrow. There is still some uncertainty regarding the bike’s name as we believed it would be called the Fiero 125 (you can learn more in our exclusive report) but the teasers bear an ‘R’ logo, hinting that the bike might just be named something starting with the same letter. Fans will recall the trademark for the name ‘Retron’ (appeared in November). Here are the details inferred from the teaser:
The fuel tank features sporty-looking tank extensions along with a premium 3D TVS logo. The wide single-piece handlebar seems to have premium-looking switchgear, and the instrument is a fully digital unit. The display check screen reveals quite a few interesting details about the motorcycle. You can see the speedometer, tachometer, gear position indicator, clock, helmet reminder, telltale lights, remaining range indicator, average mileage indicator, dual tripmeters, and odometer.
There also seems to be Eco and Power indicators, likely for the Econometer, which shows how efficiently you’re riding based on the speed and throttle input. The TVS Radeon, for example, features an Econometer. The upcoming bike also gets an ‘A’-shaped icon, indicating the presence of a start/stop system that the company calls ‘TVS intelliGO’ in the Jupiter. We’ve yet to see whether it has smartphone connectivity. The motorcycle gets a sporty, chiselled split-seat setup along with a chunky single-piece grab rail.

The TVS 125cc bike will likely be powered by an engine derived from the TVS NTorq 125. In the sporty scooter, the 124.8cc single-cylinder fuel-injected 3-valve engine churns out 9.38PS and 10.5Nm. Expect this motorcycle to make a bit more power, likely paired with a 5-speed transmission.
The bike employs a telescopic front fork, and the rear is likely to get a pair of shock absorbers. It will probably get a disc brake or a drum unit as an option at the front and a drum brake at the rear. Other notable features include an all-LED headlamp and tail lamp with bulb indicators.
Expect TVS to price this motorcycle at around Rs 75,000 - Rs 80,000 (ex-showroom), in the ballpark of other premium 125cc bikes like the Hero Glamour X-Tec and Honda SP125.
The bike sure looks like another promising, feature-packed product from TVS. The company hasn’t had a particularly successful run in the 125cc segment, with the TVS Flame getting mired in controversy and the Phoenix 125 also not quite making the mark. With the upcoming 125cc motorcycle, the timing seems perfect, considering this segment is becoming the next 150cc space as the bikes in the 150cc displacement category are becoming prohibitively expensive.
TVS Raider User Reviews
- TVS- RAIDERI choose raider because one of my friend suggested me to buy as this bike is good nice looks and good mileage. The solo seat version of the bike is very good looking like similar to pulsar and it feels very light weight to ride this bike. The ride with the TVS raider was amazing till now, no breaking points were given by this bike, still rides the same smooth and the sound of the filter of this bike is best. The disc provided is also good, breaks tyres, engines, every thing is very good. I would like to recommend this bike to everyone other because of its looks, smooth rides, pretty good disc, nice colours, best engines, nice mileage and more than that the trust on TVS. They have been creating beats like this for very long now.Read More3 4
- 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 More32 27

- Review after 1800+kmFirst of all this is my very first motorcycle. After test drive i liked the initial pull and the riding posture. so i picked this one as my friend. I also liked the motorcycle's exhaust note in stock condition. Comfort depends on how you sitting on your bike. In my opinion it gives a good comfort. Mileage also depends on your driving style. Currently after the first service I'm getting a 67-69 kmpl. Recommended speed is 55-65 km/h. Yes. If you need a daily commuter you can definitely choose this one. It gives a good comfort, decent mileage and also a some fun . You can easily cruise on a 60-69 kmph without any discomfort, above that there is vibrations.Read More5 13
