TVS Motor’s Raider 125 has been setting the charts on fire lately. But what makes it such a popular and versatile machine? Read on!
1. Smashing Looks
One of the primary reasons for the Raider 125’s popularity is the sleek and sporty design. With elements such as a sporty tank with scoops, that distinctive LED headlamp, a tri-tone colour scheme and a signature LED taillamp design, it is bound to turn heads at every corner and more. What’s more, the unique styling elements make it feel extremely fresh in a plethora of boring commuter motorcycle designs
2. Energetic Engine
Between your legs, sits the wonderful 3-valve 124.8cc engine which makes an impressive 8.37kW of power. This incredible powerplant propels the Raider 125 from 0-60 in just 5,9 seconds, making it the fastest motorcycle in its class. TVS’ own ETFI technology also helps it achieve 15% better mileage and a smoother response while the intelli-go tech makes sure it starts with zero noise. No more whines! Paired to this is a slick 5 speed gearbox which gives it a great cruising ability along with enjoyable shifts.
3. Futuristic Console
At the centre of the TVS Raider 125 is a 5 inch TFT colour screen to show you all the important data while on the go. That is not all, it can also be connected via Bluetooth through the SmartXonnect app on your smartphone to show many things such as navigation, weather report, last parked location, ride data among a lot more. The crisp resolution of the display along with great graphics give it the experience that more expensive motorcycles would not be able to. What is more, you get on-the-go call management and voice assist to make sure you are connected, even while riding!
4. Immense Convenience
Convenience is the name of the game. Motorcycles in India have to fulfill many purposes which include the occasional veggie run or long hours in traffic. The Raider 125 has you covered here as well with a neat underseat storage space under the pillion seat which you can use for keeping your wallet, sunglasses etc. It also gets an integrated USB charger so you are never out of juice.
5. Enhanced Safety
Doing its part in making our roads safer and protecting you is the rotopetal disc brake at the front which provides immense stopping power along with great response. The wider tyres and monoshock suspension result in a ride that is comfortable when needed and stable incase of emergency manoeuvres. Furthering its cause for safety is the side stand indicator and engine cut off which prevents you from riding with the side stand down. Reminding you to wear your helmet, is the Helmet Attention Indicator on the TFT screen which acts as an active tool so you never forget to be safe and ride safe.
