The secret behind the punchy performance of TVS Raider is its 3-valve architecture that provides high combustion efficiency. As a result, TVS Raider 125 Drum can do 0-60 km/h from a standstill in just 5.9 seconds. Furthermore, it comes with TVS IntelliGo (start-stop technology) that switches off the ignition while the bike is long idling and comes back to power as you apply the clutch and open and close the throttle.

In terms of safety, TVS Raider 125 Drum features the patented SBT (Synchronized Braking System). The system automatically engages the front brakes when rear brakes are applied, distributing braking power, reducing the stopping distance, and averting any instances of tyre locking.

Riding on Telescopic forks at the front and a 5-step adjustable Gas-Charged Rear Monoshock at the rear, the bike offers smooth and planted ride quality even on bumpy roads. In terms of ride and handling, the bike is quite flickable through the tightest of gaps, letting the rider filter through urban traffic congestion with ease.

All in all, this new 125cc bike from TVS Motor is a perfect mix of frugality, practicality and youthfulness, all at an affordable price of below 1 lakh INR on-road (TVS Raider 125 Drum variant).
