TVS Raider 125 With Flex Fuel Technology Showcased At 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo
The flex fuel Raider 125 can run on 15 percent petrol and 85 percent ethanol blended fuel while making the same power output as a standard Raider 125
TVS unveiled a special Raider 125 with FFT (Flex Fuel Technology) at the 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo. This flex-fuel Raider 125 is E85 compatible and is capable of running on a blend of 15 percent petrol and 85 percent ethanol.
The TVS Raider 125 FFT was showcased with a striking Blue and Black colour scheme, highlighted by a vibrant green graphic on the tank with 'FFT' branding. The tail section is finished in grey with blue stickers. The wheels get bright green rim tape complementing the green graphics of the bike.
Nothing has changed on the engine capacity or power output as the Raider 125 FFT continues to be equipped with the same 124.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 11.38PS and 11.2Nm. It gets the same 5-speed gearbox as a standard Raider 125. The Raider 125 FFT also gets an all-LED headlight and digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.
The Raider flex fuel gets the same underpinnings and has a telescopic fork and a 5-step preload-adjustable monoshock. It is equipped with a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake. This 125cc is fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 80-section front and 100-section rear tubeless tyres.
In our test, the standard TVS Raider achieved a mileage of 68.69kmpl, so, expect a slightly lower mileage on the flex-fuel version. The Raider FFT is likely to launch in mid to late 2025.
The Government of India has been encouraging manufacturers to introduce E85-compatible vehicles. This move aims to keep usage of petrol limited while keeping fuel costs low.
Apart from that, Royal Enfield has also showcased its Flex-fuel Classic 350 at the 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo which you can check out here.
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
