For too long, commuter bikes were more like signing a signature for a compromise – you get mileage but at the cost of excitement, thrill and the sheer fun of riding.
But there’s one bike, with a street fighter-inspired aura, throaty exhaust notes, and it zips past the pack, leaving everyone behind. It's none other than the TVS Raider.
Let's uncover how the TVS Raider unleashes power while mastering mileage.
Power that Surprises
TVS Raider has truly set a benchmark in the 125cc premium commuter category as the best bike for city rides. The wicked acceleration is not just from a single component, but from a strategic combination of advanced engineering elements that optimize power delivery.
-
● 3 valve head
TVS Raider deploys a 3-valve architecture, 2 for intake and 1 for exhaust. While the industry standard is 2 valves (one intake, one exhaust). This allows for a greater volume of air-fuel mixture, resulting in higher power output and a burst of acceleration.
-
● 5-speed transmission
Tuned for shorter gears, this transmission takes advantage of the torque multiplication effect. As a result, you get quick acceleration, and the power is readily available for stop-and-go traffic situations.
-
● Power-to-weight ratio
The engine power alone isn’t everything; the power-to-weight ratio plays a crucial role in performance. TVS Raider weighs 123 kg.
-
⮚ Power – 11.3 PS
-
⮚ Kerb weight – 123*kg
-
⮚ Power-to-weight ratio – 92.5 hp/ton
This power-to-weight ratio of the TVS Raider is the segment best in the 125cc category, offering a 0-60km/h in 5.8 seconds (iGO Assist).

Unbeatable Fuel Efficiency
TVS Raider delivers great mileage, thanks to its ET-Fi technology and the TVS IntelliGO (iGO). Here’s a detailed breakdown of key technologies and features that make TVS Raider a leader in fuel efficiency.
-
● ET-Fi Technology
The Eco-Thrust Fuel Injection Technology on the TVS Raider constantly monitors engine conditions and precisely calibrates the air-fuel mixture, ensuring every drop of fuel is utilised.
-
● IntelliGo (Start-Stop system)
This smart technology senses long idling and shuts off the engine. The engine instantly starts with a simple twist of the throttle, saving fuel and reducing engine stress.
-
● Ride Modes
TVS Raider has multiple ride modes – Boost ,Eco & Power. The Eco mode is a different throttle map, which calibrates the engine for gentle and gradual power delivery, preventing sudden bursts of speed. This measured throttle input reduces engine stress and maximises fuel efficiency. Additionally, there is power on demand with Boost mode
-
● Real Time Mileage Indicator
It is a system that estimates real-time mileage with data of ET-Fi, speed and distance, and displays accurate figures in “kmpl” on the TFT display. This functionality helps riders alter their riding style for improved fuel efficiency.
It is not just the specification and features; TVS Raider features an aerodynamic design with an overall lightweight frame. The aerodynamic design reduces the drag and the load on the engine, which further contributes to reduced fuel consumption as well as improved performance.
