TVS Motor Company has updated the TFT DD and SXC DD variants of the Raider 125 with modern features in the Indian market. Both these variants now come with a first-in-segment Traction Control System (TCS) as standard. The 2026 TVS Raider SXC DD and the 2026 TVS Raider TFT DD are introduced at price points of Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.03 lakh, respectively, in India. Both the prices mentioned before are ex-showroom, Delhi. The updated variants will be available across authorised TVS Motor dealerships from today onwards.
First things first, Raider Raider becomes the first model in the 125cc motorcycle segment to get Traction Control System (TCS). It helps the riders in maintaining control when the rear wheel loses grip on potholes, loose gravel or wet patches. The company has also introduced a 27W USB Type-C fast charger in the Raider 125 to ensure that the riders can top up their phones quickly between stops.
In addition, Emergency Brake Warning has been offered as standard safety feature in the 2026 TVS Raider SXC DD and the 2026 TVS Raider TFT DD. This system adds an extra layer of protection by warning riders behind during sudden braking as it gives them the extra second to react and avoid a collision. The 2026 Raider also gets a wider rear tyre.
The 2026 TVS Raider retains iGO Assist with Boost Mode, Glide Through Technology and TFT connectivity with 99+ smart features. The iGo Assist with Boost mode helps in stronger acceleration while Glide Through Technology (GTT) ensures effortless low-speed manoeuvring. The riders can pair their Smartphones with the TVS SmartXonnect app via Bluetooth to access a host of functions such as Turn By Turn Navigation, Call Handling and Notification management.
Mechanically, both the the TFT DD and SXC DD variants remain unchanged as they are powered by the same 125cc single-cylinder engine which generates max power of 11.2 bhp and highest-in-segment torque of 11.75 Nm. The engine is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. TVS Raider is presently available in six variants namely Drum, Single-Seat, Split-Seat, iGO, SSE and SX.
The two new variants namely SXC DD and TFT DD at Rs 93,800 and Rs 95,600, respectively, were launched in July 2026. The prices mentioned before are ex-showroom, Delhi. Now, with the addition of modern features, both these variants have become more expensive by Rs 7,000-8,000. TVS Raider 125 directly rivals Hero Xtreme 125R, Bajaj Pulsar N125 and Honda CB 125 Hornet in India.
