  • Fabulous design with smooth ride engine provinding 3valve in bs6 125cc

    2 years ago


    Harshal Rohamare

    I was using suzuki gixxer sf 150cc bike since 4 years & now I changed over to new red color rider 125cc which is fabulous in design & looks. Also I would like to thank TVS R&D people for understanding customers requirements & implementing it with latest bs6 3 valve engine which i find most economical for good mileage in sports segment bike with eco & power modes. I mostly like its
    1) front led lights which has good visibility at night riding.
    2) It has been provided with usb charging port for long riders.
    3) one of the best sound of engine i have heard till date in 125cc.
    4) it is provided with more ground clearance then Honda, suzuki with split seat option for mobile & valet storage.
    5) Smooth riding experience without jerk & feels comfortable for back seat person while riding due to monoquoqe suspension.

  • No this isn't just bike "just looking like a wow!" Bike

    26 weeks ago


    Sandesh Kurbetti

    With an on-road price of 1-1.21lakhs, the raider would obviously impress any youngsters who want a sweet-looking ride but at the same time manage to give a mileage of 53-61 during rides. before you put your hard-earned money on the table here are a FEW pros and cons-
    PROS -
    1. Good learner bike!
    This is the most beginner-friendly bike in my
    opinion.be it the gear position indicator or the engine
    it always helps a beginner to learn and with spare
    parts being cheap (tvs) its cost is also down!
    2. Easy to maintain
    This bike doesn't ask much, give it a timely chain clean and spray and oil change and a periodic service
    and boom that's it.
    3. Great suspension suitable for city and highways!
    Compared to the competition this has good ergonomics and great suspensions which absorb
    the Indian roads well.
    You might be thinking that with a long list of features Raider and Radeon might be making Apache owners jealous but wait hear the cons too.
    CONS -
    1. Not reliable.
    This may have all the goodies and features but this
    suffers vastly from issues. right from the display to the
    Battery it's lucky if you get a bike that has no issues in
    a year and if you are lazy and do not service it
    correctly then it will surely cost you a lot! (More on
    that at 3 points).
    2. Needs chunkier tyres.
    The factory-fitted tyres make the bike look like a guy who doesn't do legs in the gym
    3. pathetic service
    With service centre mechanics who purposefully use a higher grade fuel to make a fool out of you with little or no inspection as per the TVS manual (unless you stand there and check yourself), you can't really do much because you get your service down outside not only void warranty it would cost you arm n leg if their inconsistent parts give you a hand.
    4. Poor light throw and no chain cover
    Yes, you might want to add better light and cover if you want it as a daily driver.
    All in all, this is just a short summary of you not a fanboy of TVS I suggest weighing your options and then choosing! Cheers!

    Tips for other riders

    1.get a good helmet under 2k,the bike looks good and safe helmet is must.(stuuds thunder or Vega bunny to help you make quick decision) 2.sercice may ask you to buy their higher grade engine oil but don't and use the one mentioned in user manual (10w30) i prefer motul.kindly check after 2000-2500 and if it's black or dark brown change it ! 3.use a chain cover or tyre hugger (one from ns) 4.change of headlights if you use it for night rides 5.always keep reserve fuel in bike and periodic check of battery is must as this doesn't have a kick. Happy riding n stay safe!

  • Best 125cc

    2 years ago


    Shrinivas

    In 125cc segment this is one of best bike I think price vise, power, features(charging socket, under seat space, fully loaded instrumental, innovative cooling system, tvs Intelligo) & best thing is seat height 780 mm even short people can ride easily, lighter in weight 123kg is good thing. Tvs is always concentrating on build quality too.

  • Don't buy

    48 weeks ago


    Kalpesh Salunkhe

    The buying experience was really bad, the person in the showroom said that the bike is on waiting so we booked the bike and after 15 days they gave the same bike which was present on the day we went and it is already showing that the bike is used.
    1. The next day there is a noise from the front disc brake. There is still noise in the showroom.
    2. A stand indicator check is showing on the side of the running bike. The stand must be stopped and rearranged.
    3. Panel spacing
    4 Some time indicators don't work

Here's a comprehensive review of the TVS Raider 125, covering its buying experience, riding experience, looks, performance, servicing, pros, and cons.
    Buying Experience:

    Finance Options: TVS offers attractive financing options through various banks and NBFCs. You can get a loan easily with minimal documentation.
    Riding Experience:

    Handling: The bike is agile and easy to maneuver in traffic. It corners well and feels planted even at higher speeds.
    Performance: The 124.8cc engine produces 11.38 PS of power and 11.2 Nm of torque. It offers good acceleration and can reach a top speed of over 90 kmph. The three riding modes (Eco, Power, and Urban) further tailor the power delivery to your needs.
    Looks and Design:
    Head-turning Design: The TVS Raider 125 has a muscular and aggressive design with sharp lines and sporty elements. It stands out from its competitors in terms of looks.
    Color Options: The bike comes in five attractive color options: Fiery Yellow, Blazing Blue, Striking Red, Wicked Black, and Galactic Black (Super Squad Edition).

    Pros and Cons:
    Pros:
    Aggressive design and sporty performance
    Feature-rich, especially the top-end SmartXonnect variant
    Comfortable riding position and good handling
    Fuel-efficient engine
    Wide service network and low maintenance cost
    Cons:
    Slightly higher price compared to some competitors
    Vibrations at higher speeds (in Eco and Urban modes)
    Relatively small fuel tank (10 liters)
    Overall:
    The TVS Raider 125 is a compelling choice in the 125cc segment. It offers a sporty ride, modern features, and a comfortable riding experience. While the price is slightly on the higher side, the overall package makes it a value-for-money proposition. If you're looking for a stylish and feature-rich commuter motorcycle with a spunk, the TVS Raider 125 is worth considering.
    I hope this detailed review helps you make an informed decision about the TVS Raider 125. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!

    1) it is a good bike on this 125 cc segment
    2)very comfortable for long riding,till now I didn't experience any shoulder and back pain
    3) front look is very nice and the rear look is normal. But its look is very good in this price range like a sports bike.
    4)Not required more maintenance but you should spray the chain once in 15 days.

Here's a comprehensive review of the TVS Raider 125, covering its buying experience, riding experience, looks, performance, servicing, pros, and cons.

    Handling: The bike is agile and easy to maneuver in traffic. It corners well and feels planted even at higher speeds.
    Performance: The 124.8cc engine produces 11.38 PS of power and 11.2 Nm of torque. It offers good acceleration and can reach a top speed of over 90 kmph. The three riding modes (Eco, Power, and Urban) further tailor the power delivery to your needs.
    Looks and Design:
    Head-turning Design: The TVS Raider 125 has a muscular and aggressive design with sharp lines and sporty elements. It stands out from its competitors in terms of looks.
    Color Options: The bike comes in five attractive color options: Fiery Yellow, Blazing Blue, Striking Red, Wicked Black, and Galactic Black (Super Squad Edition).

    Aggressive design and sporty performance
    Feature-rich, especially the top-end SmartXonnect variant
    Comfortable riding position and good handling
    Fuel-efficient engine
    Wide service network and low maintenance cost
    Cons:
    Slightly higher price compared to some competitors
    Vibrations at higher speeds (in Eco and Urban modes)
    Relatively small fuel tank (10 liters)
    Overall:
    The TVS Raider 125 is a compelling choice in the 125cc segment. It offers a sporty ride, modern features, and a comfortable riding experience. While the price is slightly on the higher side, the overall package makes it a value-for-money proposition. If you're looking for a stylish and feature-rich commuter motorcycle with a spunk, the TVS Raider 125 is worth considering.

    1) it is a good bike on this 125 cc segment
    2)very comfortable for long riding,till now I didn't experience any shoulder and back pain
    3) front look is very nice and the rear look is normal. But its look is very good in this price range like a sports bike.
    4)Not required more maintenance but you should spray the chain once in 15 days.

  • Fabulous design with smooth ride engine provinding 3valve in bs6 125cc

    2 years ago


    Harshal Rohamare

    I was using suzuki gixxer sf 150cc bike since 4 years & now I changed over to new red color rider 125cc which is fabulous in design & looks. Also I would like to thank TVS R&D people for understanding customers requirements & implementing it with latest bs6 3 valve engine which i find most economical for good mileage in sports segment bike with eco & power modes. I mostly like its
    1) front led lights which has good visibility at night riding.
    2) It has been provided with usb charging port for long riders.
    3) one of the best sound of engine i have heard till date in 125cc.
    4) it is provided with more ground clearance then Honda, suzuki with split seat option for mobile & valet storage.
    5) Smooth riding experience without jerk & feels comfortable for back seat person while riding due to monoquoqe suspension.

  • No this isn't just bike "just looking like a wow!" Bike

    26 weeks ago


    Sandesh Kurbetti

    With an on-road price of 1-1.21lakhs, the raider would obviously impress any youngsters who want a sweet-looking ride but at the same time manage to give a mileage of 53-61 during rides. before you put your hard-earned money on the table here are a FEW pros and cons-
    PROS -
    1. Good learner bike!
    This is the most beginner-friendly bike in my
    opinion.be it the gear position indicator or the engine
    it always helps a beginner to learn and with spare
    parts being cheap (tvs) its cost is also down!
    2. Easy to maintain
    This bike doesn't ask much, give it a timely chain clean and spray and oil change and a periodic service
    and boom that's it.
    3. Great suspension suitable for city and highways!
    Compared to the competition this has good ergonomics and great suspensions which absorb
    the Indian roads well.
    You might be thinking that with a long list of features Raider and Radeon might be making Apache owners jealous but wait hear the cons too.
    CONS -
    1. Not reliable.
    This may have all the goodies and features but this
    suffers vastly from issues. right from the display to the
    Battery it's lucky if you get a bike that has no issues in
    a year and if you are lazy and do not service it
    correctly then it will surely cost you a lot! (More on
    that at 3 points).
    2. Needs chunkier tyres.
    The factory-fitted tyres make the bike look like a guy who doesn't do legs in the gym
    3. pathetic service
    With service centre mechanics who purposefully use a higher grade fuel to make a fool out of you with little or no inspection as per the TVS manual (unless you stand there and check yourself), you can't really do much because you get your service down outside not only void warranty it would cost you arm n leg if their inconsistent parts give you a hand.
    4. Poor light throw and no chain cover
    Yes, you might want to add better light and cover if you want it as a daily driver.
    All in all, this is just a short summary of you not a fanboy of TVS I suggest weighing your options and then choosing! Cheers!

  • Best 125cc

    2 years ago


    Shrinivas

    In 125cc segment this is one of best bike I think price vise, power, features(charging socket, under seat space, fully loaded instrumental, innovative cooling system, tvs Intelligo) & best thing is seat height 780 mm even short people can ride easily, lighter in weight 123kg is good thing. Tvs is always concentrating on build quality too.

  • Don't buy

    48 weeks ago


    Kalpesh Salunkhe

    The buying experience was really bad, the person in the showroom said that the bike is on waiting so we booked the bike and after 15 days they gave the same bike which was present on the day we went and it is already showing that the bike is used.
    1. The next day there is a noise from the front disc brake. There is still noise in the showroom.
    2. A stand indicator check is showing on the side of the running bike. The stand must be stopped and rearranged.
    3. Panel spacing
    4 Some time indicators don't work

  • Don't buy

    48 weeks ago


    Kalpesh Salunkhe

    The buying experience was really bad, the person in the showroom said that the bike is on waiting so we booked the bike and after 15 days they gave the same bike which was present on the day we went and it is already showing that the bike is used.
    1. The next day there is a noise from the front disc brake. There is still noise in the showroom.
    2. A stand indicator check is showing on the side of the running bike. The stand must be stopped and rearranged.
    3. Panel spacing
    4 Some time indicators don't work

    Performance: The 124.8cc engine produces 11.38 PS of power and 11.2 Nm of torque. It offers good acceleration and can reach a top speed of over 90 kmph. The three riding modes (Eco, Power, and Urban) further tailor the power delivery to your needs.
    Looks and Design:

    1) it is a good bike on this 125 cc segment
    2)very comfortable for long riding,till now I didn't experience any shoulder and back pain
    3) front look is very nice and the rear look is normal. But its look is very good in this price range like a sports bike.
    4)Not required more maintenance but you should spray the chain once in 15 days.

  • Fabulous design with smooth ride engine provinding 3valve in bs6 125cc

    2 years ago


    Harshal Rohamare

    I was using suzuki gixxer sf 150cc bike since 4 years & now I changed over to new red color rider 125cc which is fabulous in design & looks. Also I would like to thank TVS R&D people for understanding customers requirements & implementing it with latest bs6 3 valve engine which i find most economical for good mileage in sports segment bike with eco & power modes. I mostly like its
    1) front led lights which has good visibility at night riding.
    2) It has been provided with usb charging port for long riders.
    3) one of the best sound of engine i have heard till date in 125cc.
    4) it is provided with more ground clearance then Honda, suzuki with split seat option for mobile & valet storage.
    5) Smooth riding experience without jerk & feels comfortable for back seat person while riding due to monoquoqe suspension.

  • No this isn't just bike "just looking like a wow!" Bike

    26 weeks ago


    Sandesh Kurbetti

    With an on-road price of 1-1.21lakhs, the raider would obviously impress any youngsters who want a sweet-looking ride but at the same time manage to give a mileage of 53-61 during rides. before you put your hard-earned money on the table here are a FEW pros and cons-
    PROS -
    1. Good learner bike!
    This is the most beginner-friendly bike in my
    opinion.be it the gear position indicator or the engine
    it always helps a beginner to learn and with spare
    parts being cheap (tvs) its cost is also down!
    2. Easy to maintain
    This bike doesn't ask much, give it a timely chain clean and spray and oil change and a periodic service
    and boom that's it.
    3. Great suspension suitable for city and highways!
    Compared to the competition this has good ergonomics and great suspensions which absorb
    the Indian roads well.
    You might be thinking that with a long list of features Raider and Radeon might be making Apache owners jealous but wait hear the cons too.
    CONS -
    1. Not reliable.
    This may have all the goodies and features but this
    suffers vastly from issues. right from the display to the
    Battery it's lucky if you get a bike that has no issues in
    a year and if you are lazy and do not service it
    correctly then it will surely cost you a lot! (More on
    that at 3 points).
    2. Needs chunkier tyres.
    The factory-fitted tyres make the bike look like a guy who doesn't do legs in the gym
    3. pathetic service
    With service centre mechanics who purposefully use a higher grade fuel to make a fool out of you with little or no inspection as per the TVS manual (unless you stand there and check yourself), you can't really do much because you get your service down outside not only void warranty it would cost you arm n leg if their inconsistent parts give you a hand.
    4. Poor light throw and no chain cover
    Yes, you might want to add better light and cover if you want it as a daily driver.
    All in all, this is just a short summary of you not a fanboy of TVS I suggest weighing your options and then choosing! Cheers!

    1.get a good helmet under 2k,the bike looks good and safe helmet is must.(stuuds thunder or Vega bunny to help you make quick decision) 2.sercice may ask you to buy their higher grade engine oil but don't and use the one mentioned in user manual (10w30) i prefer motul.kindly check after 2000-2500 and if it's black or dark brown change it ! 3.use a chain cover or tyre hugger (one from ns) 4.change of headlights if you use it for night rides 5.always keep reserve fuel in bike and periodic check of battery is must as this doesn't have a kick. Happy riding n stay safe!

  • Best 125cc

    2 years ago


    Shrinivas

    In 125cc segment this is one of best bike I think price vise, power, features(charging socket, under seat space, fully loaded instrumental, innovative cooling system, tvs Intelligo) & best thing is seat height 780 mm even short people can ride easily, lighter in weight 123kg is good thing. Tvs is always concentrating on build quality too.
