TVS Raider 125 : The 125cc commuter bike segment in India is fiercely competitive, but the TVS Raider has consistently managed to stand out with its blend of sporty style and modern features. For the 2025 model year, TVS has doubled down on this winning formula, introducing a series of updates that make the Raider an even more compelling package. With a more attractive price tag, fresh aesthetics, and enhanced technology, the Raider is poised to strengthen its position as a top contender.
A More Accessible Price Point
One of the most significant changes for the 2025 Raider isn’t a new feature, but its revised price. Thanks to updated GST regulations, potential buyers will find the bike more accessible than ever. The ex-showroom price now starts from approximately ₹80,900, reflecting a substantial reduction. This strategic price cut effectively lowers the entry barrier, making the Raider’s premium offerings available to a wider audience without compromising on its core value.
Refreshed Aesthetics with New Colour Options
The race is to the fastest between model years in 2025 with the new Raider making its run for first with new dual-tone colours schemes. Gone are the days of boring flat colours, then bike sports a number of bright and young colours like Fiery Yellow, Stricking Red, Blazing Blue and Wicked Black. These new colors add to Raider’s already cutting-edge, aggressive styling, turning even more heads on the street and allowing riders to find a motorcycle they could truly express their personality with.
Upgraded Security And Richer Smartscreen
TVS has today announced new Raider 2025 that focuses on important safety improvements. Now with Single Channel ABS and an optional rear disc brake, the bike offers better control and stopping power, an essential enhancement for riders both new and experienced.
The technological centerpiece continues to be the optional 5-inch TFT display featuring TVS’s SmartXonnect technology. This nifty little system does more than simply tell you how fast you’re doing; it connects to your smartphone. Riders can receive call and notification alerts, get turn-by-turn navigation prompts right on the console, and use a suite of ride analytics, turning the bike into a connected digital companion.
Proven Performance and Riding Modes
Alongside, the 2025 Raider continues to be powered by the zippy and fuel efficient 124.8cc, 3-valve engine. This time-proven engine produces a lively 11.2 BHP power and 11.2 Nm of torque and is equally good for city or occasional highways rides. Its acceleration — 0 to 60 km/h in 5.9 seconds — and top speed of about 99 km/h make it plenty entertaining for those traffic light sprints. Riders can customize their riding experience with the 2 riding modes – Eco and Power mode, via dedicated buttons, offering different performance characteristics in terms of fuel consumption and throttle response.
Special Edition for the Superhero Fans
Adding a pinch of pop culture flair, TVS also rolled out the Raider Super Squad Edition. Drawing inspiration from legendary Marvel icons such as Deadpool and Wolverine, this version boasts exclusive graphics and branding that will capture the hearts of fans. At a price of around ₹99,465 (ex-showroom Delhi), you get a chance to ride a one-of-a-kind and personalised version of the bike.
The bottom line
2025 TVS Raider Review – The 2025 TVS Raider is the same popular model with more refinement and better value. Having sorted out crucial concerns such as pricing, safety and personalization, TVS has managed to make it more appealing. It’s not just a refresh; it’s a smart strategic play that makes the Raider the unquestionable cool, feature-packed buy that too many will find it hard to turn down in the 125cc category.
