The TVS Raider 125 motorcycle has crossed the sales mark of more than 3 lakh units in India. The bike which was launched on September 2021, achieved the sales milestone within over 19 months. This is commendable for a product that’s just over a year old in the competitive Indian market.

There could be several reasons behind the success of the TVS Raider. It is the only model aside from the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 in the 125cc motorcycle category to offer mono shock. Similarly, the sporty design of the Raider and the features list it offers as compared to its competitors have boosted the sales of the bike in the 125cc motorcycle category.

The flat face cowl and headlamps with the signature twin-boomerang DRLs, the large, sculpted fuel tank, silver-coloured tank shrouds and a belly pan, upswept exhaust, large grab rail, and the X-shaped LED tail lamp, add a dose of sportiness to the motorcycle. And, the fit and finish of the switchgear are equally good too. The instrument cluster on the TVS Raider 125 is a negatively-lit digital unit, a first in the segment.  Moreover, the Raider 125 is the only motorcycle in its segment to come equipped with a TFT cluster, voice recognition and a host of advanced connectivity tech features.
