Daily commuting is not just about reaching from point A to B. It's about navigating jam-packed roads, endless red lights, and never-ending chaos. And if your bike leaves you feeling tired after every ride, it is clearly not doing its job right.
This is where the TVS Raider comes in. Built to handle real-world traffic in a wickedly smart way, it comes equipped with Glide Through Technology (GTT), a feature that lets you glide through traffic effortlessly, making your daily rides smoother, easier, and far less exhausting.
What is GTT (Glide Through Technology)?
GTT or Glide Through Technology, an advanced feature engineered by TVS Motor, allows the bike to move forward smoothly at low speeds without throttle input. This is achieved by the engine management system, which automatically adjusts fuel injection and ignition timing to maintain a minimum speed based on the selected gear.
Here is how to use GTT:
- Hold the clutch lever in and select a gear.
- Slowly release the clutch lever without applying any throttle.
- The motorcycle will then start to move forward at a slow speed.
That’s it. No constant clutch-throttle juggling. Just smooth, stress-free crawling in traffic.
Benefits of Using GTT
Equipped in the TVS Raider, GTT offers benefits such as:
- Stress-Free Traffic Riding: GTT allows riders to crawl at a stable speed in bumper-to-bumper traffic without requiring them to constantly use the accelerator or clutch.
- Reduced Rider Fatigue: Daily commuting in stop-and-go traffic can lead to hand and wrist fatigue. With GTT, the bike glides on its own, making traffic less tiring.
- Prevents Stalling: GTT keeps the engine running smoothly at low speeds, reducing the chances of sudden stalls.
- Better Fuel Efficiency: Riding in GTT mode allows for a more efficient, steady fuel consumption rate compared to aggressive stop-and-go riding.
- Smoother Low-Speed Control: Instead of jerky movement, GTT offer consistent crawling speed and better balance, making riding more comfortable and controlled.

Beyond GTT: Other Features of TVS Raider that Matter
Beyond the GTT technology, the TVS Raider comes loaded with more features that make daily commuting smoother and more comfortable.
- Ride Modes
- TVS iGO Assist
- 5 Speed Transmission
- Segment First Rear Monoshock Suspension
- USB Charging Support
The Raider comes with two riding modes to match your riding needs: the Eco and Power modes. Eco helps maximise fuel efficiency for daily commutes, while Power mode delivers sharper throttle response and better acceleration.
The TVS iGo Assist offer silent start-stop functionality, automatically switching off the engine at idle and restarting it instantly when needed.
Unlike typical commuter bikes, the Raider comes with a 5-speed gearbox. This means smoother gear shifts, better control at different speeds, and a more relaxed ride.
The rear monoshock suspension enhances ride comfort by absorbing bumps more effectively.
The built-in USB charger lets you charge your phone on the go, making it easier to use navigation or stay connected during daily rides.
All in all, the TVS Raider is built for real-world riding, not just specs on paper. And the Glide Through Technology proves that, making everyday commuting easier, smoother, and far less tiring.
FAQs
- Can GTT enhance fuel efficiency in city traffic?
- Is GTT unique to the TVS Raider or available on other bikes?
- How does GTT benefit new or beginner riders?
- Will GTT help with riding in heavy rain or slippery conditions?
Yes, GTT enhances fuel efficiency in city traffic by minimising throttle use and engine stalling during low-speed crawling.
No, GTT is not unique to the TVS Raider. It is also featured on other TVS models like the Apache RTR 160 4V, Apache RTR 200 4V, and Ronin 225.
GTT makes riding easier for new or beginner riders by reducing the chances of stalling, simplifying clutch control, and allowing smooth low-speed movement without throttle.
GTT can help make riding in heavy rain or slippery conditions easier, but it is primarily a comfort and low-speed stability feature, not a dedicated safety system like traction control.
