Sporty Design That Turns Heads
The TVS Raider 125 2025 is equipped with a bold naked street design and boasts a striking sporty look. It is equipped with sharp scoop styled LED headlamps, an aggressive looking ECU, an ‘X’ shaped LED for DRLs, and a sculpted fuel tank. To further enhance visibility, the LED tail lights glow to ensure the rider is seen during the night. To top this off, the Raider is offered in a variety of vibrant colours such as Forza Blue, Fiery Yellow, and the new Nardo Grey. With premium fit and finish, the Raider’s equipped features have an edge over most of the higher capacity bikes. Weighing in at a mere 123 kg, the bike can easily weave through tight traffic in the labelled ‘Go’ Mode.
Power-Packed Performance
Equipped with a single-cylinder, air-cooled, three-valve engine, the Raider 125’s motor has a displacement of 124.8cc. It produces 11.2 bhp at 7,500 rpm and 11.2 Nm at 6,000 rpm. It has a five-speed gearbox that enables the bike to accelerate from 0 to 60 km/h in 5.9 seconds with a maximum speed of 99 km/h.
