TVS Raider: A stylish, feature packed, fun-to-ride bike
The Hindu
The two-wheeler boasts a, integrated starter generator, sporty silhouette and precise transmission among other features
At first glance, the new TVS Raider could be mistaken for a 150cc or 160cc machine. The 125cc bike has a sense of presence you do not expect from machines in this segment and the design is quite likeable.
Its sharp looking LED headlamp with a striking set of DRLs is easier on the eye than the quirky headlamp on the bigger RTRs. Then there is the large, sculpted fuel tank that looks like it came from a bigger bike. TVS has added smaller touches in the form of small silver-coloured tank shrouds and a belly pan.
Split seats add to its sporty stance, but the rear section is a little more straightforward with a large and practical grab rail and a couple of neat LED brake lamps. There are four colours available including black, an interesting dark blue and a nice shade of red. The overall design is something you would expect to see in a segment above and apart from the handsome, but aged Pulsars, the TVS Raider is the most sporty looking of the 125 commuters.
