Looking to get the TVS Raider? This news article will definitely interest you. The two-wheeler maker has quietly a new entry-level trim of the Raider. This trim comes with a single-piece seat and retails with a price tag of INR 93,719 (ex-showroom, Delhi). With this price tag, the motorcycle positions itself below the pricey split seat and top-spec SmartXonnect variants.
What Is This New Single Seat Variant Like?
With the launch of this new single-piece trim, TVS has discontinued the drum brake-equipped Raider. Thus, this single-seat trim is now the new entry-level spec. The corresponding trim with a split seat setup retails with a price tag of INR 94,719. On the other hand, the Bluetooth-enabled Smart-Xonnect trim retails with a price tag of INR 1 lakh. Other than the single-piece seat, the entry-spec TVS Raider remains pretty much the same. This is the story both mechanically as well as aesthetically.
