Bruh. I am talking about a different line up of sporty naked bike to compete wid likes of Dominar 400. I think its design and colour scheme is very catchy and distinctive. A naked sibling of RR310R can do wonders for TVS. I think Shumi got my point like he always do. 😁

I have to definitely confess it, that TVS is extremely focusing on design 🔥🔥, And it's definitely a proud moment for EVERY INDIAN 🔥

[@antiidiottaskforce]

Why is that a proud moment for every Indian. I ain't proud. Crappy 125, 150s ,160s,200s since 20 years. Nothing monumental or a very big upgrade in their portfolio or in any domestic producers.

[@UjjwalPratapSingh45]

@@antiidiottaskforce so you want a litre class from TVS and Bajaj?

[@masterstormgaming5815]

@@antiidiottaskforce man, you are really non existent in India, because if yes, you should know that this is the Indian Market, so they have to make products based on the interest of the consumers of India, as most of the Indians consider buying a 125cc,150cc, or a maximum of 200cc bike, especially considering the current prices of petrol in India, most of the Indian people will prefer a bike or scooter with a better fuel efficiency, thus they need less cc vehicles, like this TVS Raider, because this is not just a 125cc bike, it's looking so cool and muscular that it doesn't seem to be a 125cc bike, it seems to be more, thus will attract more youth towards it, and because everyone is not as rich as you so as to afford a 350cc bike or more in India, so they have launched this beast for the Indian People 🙂

[@gamenetworks2016]

@@masterstormgaming5815 You are absolutely right, but TVS can make at least one bike may be a twin or 3 cylinder so that at least i can dream of that.... BTO is awesome that TVS has done but BMW tie up made bike so expensive as well as desirable. Thats what i dream now, if RTR310 comes with little more accessible package, i think lot of people will jump on it.

[@kuntalbiswas6147]

Extremely glad to see a fresh design in the 125cc segment. For a beginner or a first time buyer, the 125cc is a very lucrative proposition due to its cost and fuel efficiency. However, people had to compromise with design in this price range (looking at Glamour, Shine, SP and all the same bland looking ones). With this, an 18 year old won't feel sheepish to take this to college or an outing with friends. Glad that PowerDrift covered this so early. Also, the color scheme looks fantastic. Good job TVS and PowerDrift !!

I just want all TVSes to come with this so that TVS can overall have better sales than competition because of the instrument cluster being the major advantage of this brand

[@muraliveloor3908]

@@ham_is_here There is nothing wrong in being exclusive. I'm not saying its pointless.. But let it be unique. Other TVS bikes got a very decent instrument cluster. I'm just bringing an instance, Yamaha had Gladiator / SS 125 in its league which later was succeeded by SZ R / SZ series. Gladiator came with engine on / off switch, pass light switch, rpm meter, single gear lever etc which was missing in the little more powerful 153 cc SZ series. Even after its relaunch they didn't gave standard equipments. Its all about that specific bike. Its not always necessary to replicate to other bikes. But yes it might / might not boost their business. In Yamaha's case it was a pull back for their commuter segment. They were like "SZ series are made only for that FZ engine" Lol

[@hormazdirani1431]

For many years now, Yamaha RX-100 fans have been praying for a bike which has a low seat height and just as much fun. I am tempted to say that TVS has answered their prayers. The power, torque and fun factor are very close to the original. Viva TVS Raider ! Our prayers have been answered.
