For the added premium, TVS has equipped the Radeon with Eco Thrust Fuel Injection technology. With this, the brand claims it offers 15 per cent better mileage than the BS4 version. You’ll be shocked to find out how much mileage the bike returned in the real world. The 109.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected motor churns out 8.19PS at 7350rpm and 8.7Nm at 4500rpm. Comparatively, the BS4 Radeon makes 8.4PS at 7000rpm and 8.7Nm at 5000rpm. The powerplant continues to use the same 4-speed transmission as before.
Thanks to the additional emission controlling equipment and fuel injection, the kerb weight has gone up by 4kg, at 116kg for the drum variant. The disc brake equipped model weighs 118kg kerb. The only downside of the motorcycle was its weak braking power. Unfortunately, the TVS Radeon BS6 also retains the same setup as before: 130mm drum up front and 110mm drum at the rear, with a combined braking system as standard. However, the Commuter Bike Of The Year Edition features a front 240mm petal disc, which should take care of your braking woes. The bike continues with the same telescopic front fork and twin shock absorbers at the rear.
As far as the feature list is concerned, the BS6-compliant motorcycle also gets a malfunction indicator light in its analogue instrument cluster. The rest of the features remain unchanged. We’d have liked if the headlamp is all LED, at least in the special edition variant, but it continues to be a halogen unit with an LED DRL. Apart from the optional front disc brake, the Commuter Bike Of The Year Edition also features premium-looking tank pads, circular chromed out rear view mirrors, chromed out brake and clutch levers, diamond-pattern brown seat cover and premium graphics on the bodywork.
The TVS Radeon goes head-to-head with the Bajaj Platina 110 H-Gear BS6 (Rs 59,802) and Hero Splendor Plus BS6 (starts from Rs 59,600, ex-showroom Delhi).
TVS Radeon User Reviews
Most durable and well built. 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. Very economical over long term usage. Excellent for small business and load carrying capacity because of it's robust built quality. Cons: Breaking could be better. Seat foam hardens over time making it uncomfortable.Read More
