TVS Motor Company has updated its popular Raider 125 for the 2025 model year, incorporating several new features. This move is seen as a strategic response to the intense competition in the 125cc segment, where the Raider 125 faces rivals like the Hero Xtreme 125R, Honda CB125 Hornet, and Bajaj Pulsar N125. While the company has not yet made an official announcement, a video circulating on social media has revealed the upgrades.
Key among the updates is the addition of a rear disc brake setup, including a single-channel Super Moto ABS. This makes the Raider 125 the first bike in its category to offer this safety feature. The bike also features petal discs and red-colored brake calipers, which match the front disc. A protective cover is also included for the calipers to ensure long-term performance.
The 2025 Raider 125 also receives wider tires, with a 90-section tire at the front and a 110-section tire at the rear. Furthermore, a new paint scheme has been introduced, with the bike showcased in a red and white color combination. The overall design and styling remain consistent with the previous model.
The engine remains unchanged, with the 2025 TVS Raider 125 still powered by a 124.8cc single-cylinder, 3-valve, air-cooled engine. This engine delivers 11.2hp of power and 11.2Nm of peak torque, paired with the same 5-speed gearbox as before. The bike retains its LED headlight, LED taillight, and halogen turn indicators, indicating that while there are minor updates to the appearance and technology, the performance and core features stay consistent.
