TVS Motor Company has introduced a new colour option for the entry-level variant of the Radeon commuter bike in India, taking the count to 5. With the update, the Base Edition offers an all-black finish with contrasting TVS and Radeon badging in white. The new all-black Base Edition also gets a special bronze engine casing, accentuating the bike's aesthetics and overall appeal.
The TVS Radeon comes in three variants – Base, Digi Drum, and Digi Disc – and is priced from Rs 59,880 for the Base Edition to Rs 81,394 for the top-end Digi Disc. Both prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. The Base Edition can be had in Metal Black, All Black (new), Starlight Blue, Titanium Grey, and Royal Purple colour options, while the Digi Cluster Edition (Digi Disc and Digi Drum) comes in Black, DT Red Black, and DT Blue Black colours.

TVS Radeon: Powertrain, Fuel Efficiency
The TVS Radeon uses the same 109.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that does duty in the Star City. The engine develops 8.08bhp at 7,350rpm and 8.7Nm of peak torque at 4,500rpm and comes paired with a four-speed gearbox. Thanks to the company's EcoThrust Fuel-Injection (ET-Fi) technology, the claimed fuel efficiency is 69.3km/l. The fuel tank capacity is rated for 10 litres.
TVS Radeon: Hardware
Featuring a single-cradle tubular frame, the TVS Radeon gets telescopic forks and preload-adjustable shock absorbers for suspension. The Base Edition and Digi Drum variants of the commuter bike employ a 130mm drum brake at the front and a 110mm drum brake at the rear, while the top-end Digi Disc version sports a 240mm disc at the front. The 110mm drum brake at the rear remains the same for the latter as well.
Both versions come with 'Synchronised Braking Technology' – TVS speak for a combined braking system (CBS). There’s also a side-stand indicator that comes with a beeper. The TVS Radeon rolls on 18-inch, five-spoke, alloy wheels wrapped in tubeless tyres.
TVS Radeon: Other Bits
Other notable features include a reverse LCD cluster, a long seat, a chrome bezel headlamp (with a daytime running lamp), an all-gear self-start, a pillion grab rail, and a USB charging port. The bike measures 1,080mm in height, and the wheelbase and the ground clearance sit at 1,265mm and 180mm, respectively. The drum variant weighs 113kg, while the disc variant tips the scale at 115kg.
