The launch of the 2020 Radeon brings TVS one step closer to completing its BS6 portfolio. It’s available in two variants - drum and disc. Here’s everything you need to know about the BS6 Radeon.

It continues to use the same 4-speed transmission as before.
Retains the same hardware:
The bike retains the same suspension setup as before - a telescopic fork and a twin shock absorber. The same goes for its braking configuration which consists of a 240mm disc/130mm drum brake up front and a 110mm drum brake at the rear paired with CBS.
Weighs more:
Thanks to the additional equipment and fuel injection, the bike's put on 4kg, pushing the kerb weight of the bike to 116kg for the drum variant. The disc brake model, on the other hand, tips the scale at 118kg kerb.
Gets malfunction indicator light:
The 2020 update for the Radeon brings with it a malfunction indicator light positioned in the analogue instrument cluster which indicates if there’s anything wrong with the engine.
Commands a premium:
The BS6-compliant TVS Radeon gets a starting price of Rs Rs 58,992 (ex-showroom Delhi) -- a premium of Rs 6,632 over the BS4 model. The top-spec Special edition disc, on the contrary, retails at Rs 64,992, which is Rs 8,632 more than the outgoing model.

But the Radeon has an advantage over it's rivals and that's the exhaust note with quite nice engine performance for a 110cc and looks are balance between style and practicality.
