New TVS Raider 125 Spotted With ABS, Rear Disc Brake; India Launch Soon?

TVS Raider 125 New Model: TVS is expected to launch the updated version of the Raider 125 soon. The Raider is TVS' first 125cc bike launched in 2021. It is currently available in 6 variants, with ex-showroom, Delhi prices starting at Rs 80,500. Unlike its rivals, such as the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 and the Honda Xtreme 125R, the existing TVS Raider 125 does not offer ABS (anti-lock braking system), which is expected to be made mandatory for all two-wheelers starting January 2026. 

2025 TVS Raider 125: What's New?

However, a video surfaced online reveals the updated TVS Raider 125 featuring a single-channel ABS similar to the one on the Apache RTR models. The 2025 model also seems to have disc brakes at both ends. While the rear disc brake is the latest addition, the front disc brake is available with all but the Drum variant of the existing iteration. 

The updated TVS Raider 125 also features wider tyres – 17-inch wheels with 90/90 front and 110/80 rear tyres, compared to 80/100 front and 100/90 rear tyres. Instrumentation-wise, the Raider 125 in the video has a colour LCD dash. Nothing much is expected in terms of styling, except for new paint schemes.

The 2025 Raider 125 is likely to continue with a 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that develops 11bhp and 11.2Nm of peak torque. A 5-speed gearbox is expected to be carried over. 

The launch date is yet to be revealed, but we expect the upcoming Raider 125 to arrive in the coming weeks. Upon launch, the 2025 Raider 125 will be the first 125cc bike to offer a disc brake at the rear. For more updates, stay tuned.
