TVS Raider 125 With Flex Fuel Technology Showcased At 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo

The flex fuel Raider 125 can run on 15 percent petrol and 85 percent ethanol blended fuel while making the same power output as a standard Raider 125

TVS unveiled a special Raider 125 with FFT (Flex Fuel Technology) at the 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo. This flex-fuel Raider 125 is E85 compatible and is capable of running on a blend of 15 percent petrol and 85 percent ethanol.

The TVS Raider 125 FFT was showcased with a striking Blue and Black colour scheme, highlighted by a vibrant green graphic on the tank with 'FFT' branding. The tail section is finished in grey with blue stickers. The wheels get bright green rim tape complementing the green graphics of the bike.

Nothing has changed on the engine capacity or power output as the Raider 125 FFT continues to be equipped with the same 124.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 11.38PS and 11.2Nm. It gets the same 5-speed gearbox as a standard Raider 125. The Raider 125 FFT also gets an all-LED headlight and digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity.

The Raider flex fuel gets the same underpinnings and has a telescopic fork and a 5-step preload-adjustable monoshock. It is equipped with a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake. This 125cc is fitted with 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 80-section front and 100-section rear tubeless tyres.

In our test, the standard TVS Raider achieved a mileage of 68.69kmpl, so, expect a slightly lower mileage on the flex-fuel version. The Raider FFT is likely to launch in mid to late 2025.

The Government of India has been encouraging manufacturers to introduce E85-compatible vehicles. This move aims to keep usage of petrol limited while keeping fuel costs low.

Apart from that, Royal Enfield has also showcased its Flex-fuel Classic 350 at the 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo which you can check out here.
