TVS has officially reintroduced the much-awaited Raider 125 Kick Start variant, blending old-school reliability with modern commuter flair. Known for its stylish design, segment-leading features, and real-world mileage, the Raider now gets even more accessible for the Indian market especially for those who prefer the reassurance of a kick lever.
Sporty Design with Retro-Modern Blend:
The 2025 Raider 125 Kick Start retains its sharp, muscular tank design, aggressive LED headlamp with DRLs, and eye-catching split seat layout. Despite being an entry-level 125cc bike, it flaunts a performance-bike vibe. With bold graphics, compact proportions, and a dynamic riding posture, it’s as stylish as it is practical now made more appealing with the kick-start mechanism for added backup.
Refined Engine and Trusted Mileage:
Under the tank lies a 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-and-oil cooled engine producing 11.4 bhp and 11.2 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox. The engine is tuned for city agility and fuel efficiency. In real usage, the Raider easily delivers between 56 to 71 kmpl, depending on the mode and riding habits making it one of the most fuel-efficient sporty commuters in the segment.
Ride Modes and Key Features:
TVS has included two riding modes Eco and Power, allowing riders to switch performance depending on traffic conditions. Features like Idle Stop-Start, gear shift indicator, digital display, and an option for Bluetooth connectivity in higher variants make the Raider stand out in the 125cc category. The Kick Start variant includes all essential features while offering better mechanical accessibility for rural and semi-urban buyers.
Handling, Ride Quality & Braking:
With a kerb weight of around 123 kg, the Raider feels light and agile. Its telescopic front fork and preload-adjustable rear monoshock offer a balanced ride quality over city potholes and highway stretches alike. Braking duties are handled by a front disc brake with synchronized braking system (CBS), ensuring safety and confidence under mixed road conditions.
Conclusion: The TVS Raider 125 Kick Start 2025 brings together style, economy, and usability in one sleek package. Whether you’re a first-time rider or someone looking for a dependable second bike, this variant offers unbeatable value with its retro-modern combination.
