[UPDATE: TVS has launched its 125cc offering, called the Raider. To know the specs, pricing and other details, head to our launch story here]
TVS has trademarked the Fiero 125 name along with Raider, Zeppelin R and Retron. TVS used to sell the Fiero in India and could use its name for a new motorcycle. While we do not know much beyond the name, here’s what we would like to seen in the new motorcycle:
Sporty motor:
As the name signifies, the upcoming motorcycle is expected to have a 125cc motor. The original Fiero was the first performance-oriented 150cc motorcycle from TVS and we hope the new Fiero 125 also goes the performance way. TVS already has a 125cc performance mill in the NTorq 125. This three-valve fuel-injected single cylinder motor could be adapted to a five-speed transmission for the Fiero 125. In the NTorq, the motor develops 9.38PS and 10.5Nm but we reckon TVS can eke out 1 or 2PS more out of it. One example is the TVS Flame 125 which used a similar 3-valve motor like the NTorq and delivered 10.64PS and 10Nm.
Sporty styling:
We expect TVS to target the premium 125cc space, currency occupied by the Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Honda SP 125, with the Fiero 125. We do not expect the Fiero to use the Apache RTR’s styling but rather have an all-new design with the RTR’s design influences. It could be feature packed as well with an LED headlamp and digital instrument console with Bluetooth from the Jupiter and NTorq.
Sporty underpinnings:
TVS could raid the Apache RTR 160 4V parts bin and equip the Fiero with a synchro-stiff frame, Showa forks and monoshock. It could skip ABS if engine capacity is maintained below 125cc.
Pricing and launch date:
TVS could price the Fiero 125 competitively at around Rs 70,000, thereby undercutting the Honda SP 125. The all-new motorcycle could be launched by mid-2021. Stay tuned for more updates.

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

It feels like a smart daily partner light in traffic, quick when needed, and very comfortable even during longer rides. It never feels tiring. This bike feels good. I would recommend the TVS Raider because it genuinely makes everyday riding smooth. In city traffic, it feels light and easy to handle, and the pickup is good enough for quick overtakes.
