Is the TVS Raider 125 iGO too sporty of a riding position for a commuter?
07 January 2025 11:06
As a short rider, I think the position is a bit awkward. It's not bad, but I feel like I'm grabbing a little at the handle bars. A wider range of riders would have been better served by an more upright position.
Does the iGO’s unique headlight design of the TVS Raider 125 affect its practicality?

I actually like the headlight design though. It’s cool to look at and different from other bikes. It’s also pretty well illuminated, better than on my old bike with halogen bulb.

If you ask me, it’s style over substance. I'm not sure it gives the best light spread, and the shape is weird. I would rather have a more traditional design that I know does well.

I’m starting to like the headlight. I thought at first it was for show, but it gives very good visibility at night. The only downside is that if it gets damaged, replacement might be expensive.

I feel TVS went too far off with design. On a commuter bike, it looks out of place and I'm worried about how this will age. In addition, I’ve heard some people complain about glare from oncoming traffic.

I ride a lot at night and I like the LED setup. Its unique shape actually makes it stand out to other drivers, and the light is bright and clear.

There is a little bit of polarizing headlight design, but I think it works. The functionality is there, and it gives the bike more of a feel of a premium. Nice to see some innovation in the commuter segment.

I don’t like the headlight. I feel TVS is trying too much to make the bike look sporty. For daily use I would just prefer something simpler and more functional.
Is the TVS Raider 125 iGO’s torque boost feature really useful, or just a gimmick?
07 January 2025 11:06
I've kicked the torque boost a few times and it gives a noticeable kick when overtaking. It's not mind blowing, but it's a nice little extra when you need it.

I honestly think it's more of a gimmick. I can hardly tell the difference in real world riding. You don't turn the bike into a rocket or anything.

In city traffic, actually, the torque boost is pretty useful. When you need to quickly accelerate from a stop or merge into faster moving traffic, it helps. It's not just for show.

I don’t know if it helps that much. Yeah you get a little surge, but what difference is that going to make on a 125cc bike? That seems like unnecessary complexity to me.

As someone that rides in hills, I like the torque boost. That extra oomph when climbing is handy for a smaller engine bike.

It seems to me that TVS is on to something with this feature. It's not revolutionary, but it's a sign that they're thinking about how to improve performance in practical ways for commuter bikes.

It’s nice to have the boost in torque but it isn’t a must have. It’s fun to use every once in a while, but I don’t find myself really relying on it in the day to day riding.

I suppose I’d be concerned about running the torque boost a lot and it hurting fuel efficiency. I’m a bit suspicious as TVS hasn’t been very clear about how it affects mileage.
Is the TVS Raider 125 iGO really worth all the hype?
07 January 2025 11:06
I've had the Raider for a few months now and in all honesty it's pretty solid for what it is. Although I'm getting decent mileage, the engine is peppy enough for city riding. It's not going to blow your socks off, but as a 125cc it's fun to ride.

07 January 2025 11:06
Nah, it's overhyped. I tried one out and wasn't impressed. At higher speeds it was annoying and in some areas the build quality was a bit cheap. With a Honda SP125 or even stretching your budget a bit for a 150cc bike, you’re in a better position.

It kind of depends what you are looking for. The Raider is a commuter if you want something with a little style. The digital display is nice, and the LED lights are actually pretty good. It won’t compete with bigger bikes, but it doesn’t want to.

The hype is real, if you want a 125cc bike. I went from an old Splendor to this one and the difference is almost night and day. It has a very comfortable riding position and overall handles fine in traffic. It looks way cooler than most other commuters, plus.
