TVS Raider iGo Launched at Rs 98,389 in India, Makes More Torque with Boost Feature

At Rs 98,389 (ex-showroom), the TVS Raider iGo is Rs 685 more expensive than the Split Seat variant. Its iGo assist feature promises an extra 0.55Nm of torque compared to other variants.

Launched in September 2021 in India, the TVS Raider 125 has crossed a 10-lakh unit sales milestone. To mark the occasion, TVS has launched a new variant of the Raider 125 commuter bike, the iGo. At Rs 98,389 (ex-showroom), the TVS Raider iGo gets iGo assist technology, similar to the one on the updated Jupiter 110. With the iGo assist feature, the Raider iGo promises an acceleration boost, giving the rider an additional 0.55Nm of torque.

Powering the new TVS Raider iGO is the same 124.8cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine that is mated to a five-speed gearbox. While the power number remains the same as before – 11.2bhp at 7,500rpm, the torque output now stands at 11.75Nm at 6,000rpm. According to TVS, the new variant will provide 10 per cent more fuel efficiency than the rest of the variants. Speaking of, the company currently offers the Raider 125 in six variants: Drum, Single Seat, Split Seat, iGo, Super Squad Edition, and SX.
