What to know about the Raider 125
The Raider 125 is TVS doing the unusual: spending money on electronics inside a 125cc price. Ride modes trickled down from the Apaches, the adjustable clutchless gearbox feels a generation ahead of the class, and the top variant carries a colour TFT console that costs more in some bigger motorcycles than the whole Raider does here. It is the most over-equipped 125 in the market on options list alone.
The mechanical story is a proper five-valve head on a 125cc single. 11.4 bhp arrives up high enough that the rider uses the gearbox, and the torque band is broad and clean in the way that suits a light motorcycle — though this TVS is not that, at 151 kg with the extra chassis and brake hardware. Claimed 60 kmpl survives real-world use because the tall gearing lets sixth gear loiter at city speed.
The mass is the honest caveat. It weighs as much as several 160cc motorcycles in this catalogue, and the 11.2 Nm is pushed around a little more deliberately than the lighter rivals’ outputs. Buyers get the strongest structure, the best brakes and the richest electronics at 125cc, and accept a slightly lugger feel for it. Loaded two-up the gearing, not the torque, is what saves the day.
- Ride modes and an adjustable clutch at 125cc

What we like
- The richest electronics package available at 125cc
- Chassis and brakes a size above the segment
- 60 kmpl claimed without gentle-throttle gymnastics
What we would change
- 151 kg is heavier than many 160cc rivals
- Noticeably more expensive than drum-brake 125s
- Loaded on a gradient, the 11.2 Nm is worked hard

Frequently asked questions
What is the TVS Raider 125 price?
The estimated ladder runs from ₹89,000 for the drum-brake entry to ₹1.11 lakh for the TFT-topped FT, ex-showroom Delhi NCR — a wide span that is exactly the point of this range.
What mileage does the Raider 125 give in real use?
Against the claimed 60 kmpl, MotoSutra’s estimate settles between 55 and 62 kmpl in city traffic, with 65 kmpl-plus achievable at a steady 55 km/h.
Which Raider variant should be bought?
The FT justifies its premium with the TFT, ABS and ride-by-wire if connectivity matters; otherwise the Disc at ₹1.03 lakh is the sensible floor for a 151 kg motorcycle.
