raider 125 The NTorq is the second success story for TVS in the 125cc two-wheeler space, the first one.
Launched on September 16, 2021, the raider sold 3,16,130 units in the domestic market in a span of 19 months. Last fiscal’s numbers translate into average monthly sales of 19,948 units.
Out of the total 9,10,376 motorcycles that TVS sold in FY2023 (up 29%), the Raider 125 accounted for 26%. That’s not bad for a product more than a year old in the domestic market. The Raider 125 has several rivals including the Bajaj Pulsar 125, Pulsar NS125, Honda SP 125 and CB Shine as well as the Hero Glamor and Super Splendor.
One of the standout elements of the TVS Raider 125 is its athletic looking styling. It gets a muscular tank, attractive headlight, minimalist tail-lamp and split seat. Clearly, the styling has more than a hint of sportiness in comparison to the designs of most of its rivals, which seems to have paid off for the Raider 125.
Apart from the Bajaj Pulsar NS125, the Raider 125 is the only other 125cc motorcycle in India to offer a monoshock. In October 2022, the TVS Raider 125 became the first in its segment to be equipped with TFT cluster, voice recognition and advanced connectivity tech features.
