Signature design elements include the aggressive headlamp and tail-lamp that provide excellent visibility. The youthful colour schemes, with specially designed textures and finishes, are inseparable aspects of its sporty and energetic design.

The TVS Raider is powered by an advanced 124.8cc air- and oil-cooled 3V engine that delivers a maximum power of 12.9 PS @ 8,000 rpm and torque of 11.5 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. The motorcycle boasts best-in-class acceleration, achieving 0–60 km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
Its dynamic comfort and handling are supported by a gas-charged 5-step adjustable mono-shock suspension, low-friction front suspension, split seat, 5-speed gearbox, and 17” alloy chunky wide tyres.
The Reverse LCD digital speedometer offers advanced, accurate, and easy-to-read information. The switch cluster, footpegs, and other mechanical details are designed in harmony with the motorcycle to provide uncompromised functional benefits.
Comfort, Safety and Convenience
The ergonomics of the TVS Raider are developed with supreme focus on rider comfort and convenience. With TVS Motor Company’s performance motorcycle DNA, the low seat height, long wheelbase, ideal ergonomics triangle, and mono-shock suspension deliver an engaging ride and handling experience.
The exhaust design is tuned to perfection, delivering a distinct note that reflects the indomitable spirit of the motorcycle. Rider-focused features such as first-in-segment under-seat storage, helmet reminder, and USB charger enhance the overall experience.
The TVS Raider will be available in four striking colour options: Striking Red, Blazing Blue, Wicked Black, and Fiery Yellow.
