[@BioSeedling]

xtreme 125R is clear winner with ABS, good stability, showa suspensions, better visibility (with projectors), kick starter (for emergency), smoother engine (for reliability), and better feel too.

Hero wins it with the design. So much better than raider. As an owner of a raider, it feels so small, especially when we look from behind. Looks like we're on a tiny bike. And the service is oh-so-terrible. The sound is great, and the engine is peppy.

[@kn8u]

@@user-jn7bq8wh1e I'm from trivandrum. Service throughout our state seems to be pretty bad. Fed up. Recently a new group opened a TVS showroom nearby, a really big one. So far their customer service and vehicle service seems to be good. I guess it's better to ask around in your locality about how the service is. The raider is still a really good option in this price range with such great performance.

[@thekoushikraju]

Totally disagree, Hero should have won, ABS and looks matter in the real world not features and gimmicks.

[@BioSeedling]

true

[@bobthebuilder1114]

Tvs has better suspension and slightly more peppy engine with lighter chassis. I do agree on looks but not everyone wants a sharp/angular looking machine. It's good that we have competition at this price range. It's always better for the consumer.

[@PS-ug7nm]

​​@@bobthebuilder1114Agreed on few points, but The slight peppiness is negligible whereas ABS is a major feature When it comes to service TVS service is 3rd class and Engine is slightly smoother in Hero

[@akashtopder7251]

​@@bobthebuilder1114Xtreme has fatter suspension by SHOWA. It's hands down better. Do not go by these big youtuber videos. In this video they said that the raider has USB which is an advantage but xtreme also has USB. So if they couldn't find the USB in xtreme then how would they know that those Showa suspensions can be adjusted according to the user in the xtreme.

[@aravindbhargava1651]

In the bluetooth model of the TVS Raider there is an ABS indicator light on the screen. It means that they are going to add ABS in TVS Raider too later on

[@snehhetawal]

Xtreme 125 has a USB charger tucked under the handlebar for weather protection. Just because you guys can't find it, please dont mention it as a missing feature. There's bluetooth connectivity as well in xtreme. You get incoming call, messages and battery percentage. Which is far more useful than the cricket scores offered on Raider. And how can you justify having engines modes which actually is a gimmick on Raider. The engine kill switch is far more useful and needworthy feature in the bikes. And did you find the kick starter on Raider ? 😀 What about service and ease of ownership ? I feel you guys should look at the website for more details before publishing the video.

Good Points. I was considering the Raider because it does not look big. I am a short guy and a bigger bike would not suit me. But the lack of a kick starter is making me reconsider it lol

[@akashtopder7251]

Xtreme 125R has a USB charging port! And ABS over any kind of bluetooth gimmicks any day (even though Xtreme also has basic bluetooth features). Plus Xtreme has more practical features like engine kill switch and kick start. Also Xtreme has better suspention, better illumination at night etc. Its just a more sensible choice.

i dont know what kind of nimbu paani they were drinking but giving a power mode at the place of kill switch? they kinda pioneered kill switch in scooter with Ntorq that followed suite with other scooters brand. yet messed up in this bike. and then refused to give single channel ABS update. i have more respect for hero for launching a good 125 cc bike that looks good. especially xtreme125 with acid green accent and black body.

My mother was not able to sit on the Xtreme 125r. So I had purchased TVS raider 125 it's running well. With the 3 valves the pickup is good and with the air and oil cooling system the engine doesn't get overheated in long drive and it improves the engine life. Top end performance is really good. Suspension is on mid side both stability and comfort are available. But single channel ABS is a big miss in TVS Raider. By applying front break more and rear break 40 to 50% the breaking will be good without any skidding. Getting 60km mileage. Comfortable for families too in long run. Exhaust note was good But the single channel ABS, LED lights and tyres are good in Hero Xtreme 125R. Hero should have given oil cooling system in xtreme 125r for doing long rides

[@arvindfluidic]

Oil cooling system is the Raider? Really?

[@aravindbhargava1651]

@@arvindfluidic yes. Air and oil cooling system is there in TVS Raider. When you do long rides along with the air the engine oil also cools the engine with which the engine life also gets improved.

[@kushalkuber3383]

Hero service is poor too...i am talking with personal experience...poor diagnosis of problems and casual attitude towards problems faced by the customers...i was forced to sell my bike just because of the frustrating service of Hero...i am not aware of TVS service so wont comment...but having ridden the Raider multiple times... I can say that it isn't as exciting as many say it is...its rear suspension has a lot of sag and if you carry an average sized adult as pillion...it does scrape the speedbreakers and does bottom out too...also the engine feels strained and struggles to pick up pace if you are riding with a pillion. Another experience is that the bike feels a bit bouncy especially at the rear and braking performance isn't that great either...ABS is anyday a better choice than a digital instrument cluster as the ABS might save you from crash but the instrument cluster wont.

Yup, the sound of the rear drum brake was irritating to say the least. Was complaining about this issue right from the first service itself. Didn't fix it even in the 3rd service. Also had a problem with the gear position indicator due to which the engine warning lamp would become engaged and due to that, auto start stop would not work. Pathetic service. Sold the bike after about 1.25 years after being fed up.

You are asking to turn off engine start stop in stop and go bumper to bumper traffic, where it actually does all its work? Again, this shows how disconnected and spoilt reviewers have become. Its a commuter, it needs a better mileage.

It doesn't work if the traffic is continuously crawling at a very slow speed and you have to keep putting your feet down - keeps trying to turn the engine off in that situation. Otherwise works well as mentioned in the video, and we left it on for our FE tests
