TVS Motor Company has rolled out the refreshed 2025 Raider 125, a zippy 125cc commuter bike designed for young riders who crave style and smarts. Kicking off at Rs. 93,800 (ex-showroom), this updated version comes in two flavors: the SmartXonnect Dual Disc at the base and the premium TFT Dual Disc topping out at Rs. 95,600. Building on its sporty roots, the Raider now packs groundbreaking upgrades that set it apart in the crowded entry-level segment.
Braking Breakthrough and Power Surge
One of the biggest draws of the 2025 Raider 125 is its pioneering dual disc brake setup with single-channel ABS, a first in its class that sharpens stopping power for safer rides in city chaos or open stretches. Complementing this is the innovative Boost Mode powered by iGO Assist, which unleashes instant torque for lightning-fast getaways from stops, turning mundane commutes into exhilarating sprints.
Everyday Tech for Effortless Riding
The Raider keeps its edge with Glide Through Technology (GTT), letting riders weave through bumper-to-bumper jams without constant throttle tweaks, all while sipping fuel more efficiently for longer hauls. A thoughtful touch is the Follow Me headlamp feature, which lingers on after shutdown to light up dark parking lots or quiet neighborhoods.
Engine and Handling Refinements
Heart of the beast remains the trusty 125cc air-cooled, three-valve single-cylinder mill, dishing out 11.75 Nm of twist at 6,000 rpm through a slick five-speed transmission. Grip gets a serious upgrade with chunkier tiresโ90/90-17 up front and a beefy 110/80-17 at the rearโpromising steadier cornering and better road-hugging on wet or dry surfaces.
Stylish Continuity with Fresh Accents
The Raider’s bold visuals carry over mostly intact, but TVS spices things up with a gleaming Metallic Silver finish and a striking red-accented front wheel for that extra pop. To cater to tech tastes, buyers pick between a cutting-edge full-color TFT console loaded with over 99 customizable goodies or a crisp reverse LCD screen boasting more than 85 functions.
Both setups link seamlessly via TVS SmartXonnect Bluetooth tech, unlocking perks like hands-free voice commands, incoming call/SMS notifications, and GPS-guided routes straight to the dash. This connectivity turns the Raider into a pocket-sized companion for navigation and updates on the go.
the 2025 Raider Stands Out
Priced aggressively and feature-stuffed, the new Raider 125 blends raw fun with practical smarts, making it a top contender against rivals in India’s buzzing 125cc arena. Whether zipping to work or weekend jaunts, it delivers punchy performance wrapped in affordable flair. TVS’s latest launch reinforces its grip on the youth market, where agility meets innovation.
