TVS Motor Company has expanded its portfolio with the launch of the Raider 125 Connected variant. This new version joins the existing lineup that comprises drum and disc brake models and here we explain all the variants of the Raider 125 range.

TVS Raider 125 Features

The feature list is similar for the drum and the disc brake variants. These two versions get an LCD screen that shows information such as tachometer, speedometer, gear position indicator, and the selected power mode, among others. The Connected version, on the other hand, gets a colour TFT display which benefits from the SmartXonnect Bluetooth module that gives access to turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call alerts, and music controls. Further, the voice assist function is also part of the package and it allows access to functions such as navigation or changing the ride modes. All variants pack an LED headlight with integrated DRL, an LED taillight, idle stop-start system, two ride modes (Eco and Power), and first-in-segment under-seat storage.

TVS Raider 125 Hardware

The suspension setup across the range includes telescopic front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock. The anchoring setup on the base version includes drum brakes on both wheels. The disc and the Connected versions, on the other hand, use a disc brake at the front and a drum unit at the back. The safety net on all variants includes combined braking system.

TVS Raider 125 Colours

The drum and the disc variants are available in four colours – Striking Red, Blazing Blue, Wicked Black, and Fiery Yellow. The Connected variant, however, is only available in Wicked Black and Fiery Yellow paint options. Further, all colour options get a matching shade for the headlight mask, front fender, and engine cowl.
