TVS Raider 125 2026 Launched – Mileage King With Sporty Design & Smart Features
The TVS Raider 125 2026 has arrived as one of the most exciting updates in the 125cc commuter bike segment in India. TVS Motor has given this popular sporty commuter fresh refinements, better safety, and smart tech to make daily rides more fun and safe. Launched with key upgrades like dual disc brakes and ABS in top models, it stands out for young riders who want style, performance, and good mileage.
Bold and Aggressive Design
The 2026 TVS Raider 125 keeps its sharp, naked street-fighter look but gets even more aggressive styling. It has a bright LED headlamp with daytime running lights (DRLs) for better visibility and a premium feel. The bike comes in many attractive colours, including new dual-tone options that look modern and eye-catching. Wider tyres (90/90-17 front and 110/80-17 rear) improve grip and handling on city roads and corners. The split seat, muscular tank, and perimeter frame give it a sporty stance that turns heads.
Powerful and Efficient Engine
Under the hood is the proven 124.8cc, 3-valve, air-oil cooled engine that delivers peppy performance. It produces around 11.2 bhp power and 11.75 Nm torque (with boost mode in higher variants). The best part is the iGO Assist or boost technology, which gives quick acceleration – 0-60 km/h in just 5.8 seconds, making overtakes easy. It comes with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. Riders love the claimed mileage of up to 65-72 kmpl, perfect for daily commutes and saving fuel costs.
Top Safety Features
Safety is a big highlight in the 2026 model. Top variants now get dual disc brakes (240mm front and 200mm rear) for strong stopping power. Many models include single-channel ABS (Super Moto ABS) to prevent wheel lock-up during hard braking, especially useful in wet or busy roads. This makes it one of the safest options in its class, meeting upcoming safety norms.
Smart Tech and Connectivity
The Raider shines with modern features. Higher variants have a 5-inch TFT digital console with SmartXonnect Bluetooth. You get over 99 connected features like turn-by-turn navigation, call alerts, SMS notifications, music control, and low fuel warnings. It also has glide through traffic (GTT) for easy low-speed riding in jams, USB charging, and riding modes for better control.
Comfort and Practicality
Riding the TVS Raider 125 is comfortable for city use. It has telescopic front forks and monoshock rear suspension for smooth handling on potholes. The lightweight body (around 123 kg) and upright position make it easy to ride all day. Practical touches include under-seat storage and a 10-litre fuel tank.
In short, the 2026 TVS Raider 125 is a complete package – sporty looks, quick performance, high mileage, advanced safety, and smart tech. Priced from around ₹82,000 to ₹97,000 (ex-showroom, depending on variant), it offers great value. If you want a fun, feature-loaded 125cc bike for daily rides, the Raider 2026 is hard to beat.
