The TVS Raider has been a fairly popular model in the commuter segment of motorcycles for various reasons. It meets the pricing demand and offers a mix of youthfulness, practicality, and frugality. In the 125cc class, the TVS Raider rivals the Hero Xtreme 125R. And now with the launch of the Drum brake variant, the brand should also be able to cater to an even wider range of audience, especially the ones looking for something affordable.
