TVS Radeon Highlights

TVS’ 110cc motorcycle, the Radeon recently crossed the 1 lakh sales milestone. This feat was achieved within seven months of its launch last year. The motorcycle is priced at Rs 49,730 (ex-showroom Delhi) and primarily competes against the Hero Splendor.

The TVS Radeon comes with some segment-first features such as a USB charging port, side-stand indicator with a beeper and the most important of all, synchronized braking technology (SBT). Additionally, the TVS Radeon also gets LED DRLs integrated into the headlight and chrome bezels, a twin-pod instrument cluster, tank pads and a single-piece elongated seat which is claimed to be the longest in its segment, according to TVS.

The bike sources power from a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, Dura-Life engine which produces a maximum power of 8.4PS and peak torque of 8.7Nm. It comes mated to a 4-speed gearbox. The TVS Radeon has a 10-litre fuel tank and returns a company claimed fuel efficiency of 69.3kmpl. According to TVS, the engine has been specially tuned to deliver better pick up and acceleration while ironing out vibrations. Furthermore, the engine casing gets a champagne coloured paint job.

It uses a steel tubular frame with telescopic front suspensions up front and a twin five-step adjustable shock absorber setup at the rear. At 180mm, the TVS Radeon also boasts of the highest ground clearance in its class. Braking duties are handled by drum brakes at both ends aided by TVS' synchronized braking technology (SBT). Its 18-inch five-spoke alloys comes wrapped in Duragrip tyres. The TVS Radeon will be offered in four colour options - white, black, beige and purple.

TVS says the bike will go on sale from September and will be priced at Rs 48,400 (ex-showroom Delhi). Once launched, the TVS Radeon will compete against the Honda CD 110 Dream DX, Bajaj Discover 110, Yamaha Saluto-RX and the Hero Splendor iSmart 110.
