    TVS Raider 125: design

    Sporty styling elements are among the main aspects buyers look for in this space and TVS has delivered. The funky headlight, muscular tank, sharp belly-pan and split-seat set up are the major takeaways when it comes to design. The minimalist LED tail-light is also unique and something we don’t see often on bikes at this price point.

The company has also said that there will be an optional TFT screen featuring Bluetooth connectivity in a few months’ time. The right-hand side switchgear allows you toggle between Eco and Power modes. The Raider also has storage space located under the pillion seat.
