TVS RAIDER REVIEW
My experience in buying TVS RAIDER 125cc was wonderful. I was happy with its style, comfort, milage and performance. The only thing need to be improved is TVS Showroom service. One of most important con is its stability when we go more than 100KMPH speed in power mode is not good. All other facilities of the bike is very good.

Best bike in budget range
The Xtreme 125R ABS is the best bike in the budget range. I’ve been using it for 2 months, and my experience has been fantastic. It delivers great performance, impressive durability, and comfort, all at an affordable price. With its stylish design and smooth handling, it’s perfect for those seeking a reliable and budget-friendly bike.

Killer in the segment 🔥
I was looking for best in segment firstly my mind was towords Raider 125 but when this bike came it give me all I want in my bike then I booked at my nearest showroom very smooth experience also worthy of buying it. It gives good performance and smooth riding feels very comfortable for long ride also.. gear shift is also very smooth.in terms of milage I can say it kill in the segment. With this price range there no bike in this segment that offers alot. Like Abs..but the bike is not good for family purpose.
