TVS Motor Company has announced a new entry-level variant of the Raider 125 that's priced at Rs 84,869. This brings the bike’s base price down by Rs 11,000.
- Raider 125 Drum gets same features list as Single-Seat variant
- Only available in red and black finishes; mechanically unchanged
As the name implies, the new variant gets a 130mm drum brake – with a combined braking system – instead of the 240mm disc seen on the other variants. Apart from the drum brake, this variant shares its features list with the Single-Seat variant – from the LED headlight and LCD instrument cluster to the ride modes – that's priced at Rs 96,869. In fact, it is available with the same colour options as well: red and black.
There are no changes mechanically and it continues to rival the 125cc Bajaj Pulsars, the Honda Shine, and the Hero Xtreme 125R. The 11.4hp, 11.2Nm 124.8cc single-cylinder engine continues unchanged. The top-spec Raider 125 SX costs Rs 1.04 lakh.
