  • Mileage: Real-world efficiency of 56–62 kmpl, making it a champion of savings.

3. Tech That Keeps You Ahead

The Raider was the first to bring a TFT screen to this segment, and for 2026, the SmartXonnect features have become even smarter:

  • Turn-by-Turn Navigation: No more stopping to check Google Maps.
  • Voice Assist: Control features with simple voice commands.
  • Under-Seat Storage: A small but useful “buddie space” for your smartphone or documents.
  • USB Charging Port: Standard on top trims to keep your devices powered up on the go.

4. Design & Safety Upgrade

The “Wicked” design remains, but with fresh 2026 colors like Nardo Grey and Fiery Red. More importantly, TVS has finally addressed the biggest demand from fans:

  • Single-Channel ABS: Now available in the SXC and TFT variants for much safer braking on wet roads.
  • Rear Disc Brake: The range-topping model now features a rear disc, providing the best-in-class stopping power.
  • Signature LED: The iconic “Robot-face” LED DRLs ensure you stand out even from a distance.

5. Verdict: Should You Buy It?

The 2026 TVS Raider 125 is perfect for someone who wants the looks of a 150cc bike but the fuel bills of a 100cc bike. It is lightweight, incredibly easy to handle in city jams, and offers a level of tech that even some 200cc bikes miss out on.
