Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better between Bajaj Pulsar NS125 and TVS Raider?
  • The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 packs a peppy engine, is fun to ride, and could be the perfect beginner bike for you. The entry-level NS125 could be the perfect platform for those graduating from a scooter, and yearning to learn the ropes. On the other hand, TVS Raider's styling, features and performance will excite youngsters, and for someone looking at their first motorcycle, the Raider does make good sense. TVS has gone the smarter route, keeping a thrilling ride experience as the USP, instead of a purely commuter-centric approach. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your city and brand accordingly for dealership details.
Q. When TVs ntorq is giving 40 mileage then how can TVs raider will give 60 km mileage? Both are 125cc bikes please explain if I'm satisfied with your answer will definitely buy TVS Raider if it has more than 50km mileage ? My need is completely focus on mileage beacause I have to drive per day 100km
  • There are multiple factors that affect the mileage of any vehicle such as engine tuning, transmission type, size of the wheels, driving dynamics, etc. Powering the Raider 125 is a 124.8cc single-cylinder 3-valve engine that only shares its bore and stroke figure with the NTorq 125. It is a completely new engine with a five-speed transmission. This motor makes 11.38PS @ 7500rpm and 11.2Nm @ 6000rpm, making the Raider one of the most powerful bikes in the segment.
  • That's an Manual transmission engine. Scooters don't have manual transmission.
Q. Tvs Raider or CB Shine which is better?
  • Both the bikes are good in their forte. TVS’ has certainly come back to the 125cc segment with a bang with the Raider. It’s fun to ride, feature-packed, feels rather premium and is well priced too. It is definitely one of the most well-rounded offerings in the 125cc space. Whereas, The Honda Shine makes for an excellent proposition after the BS6 update. It offers a ton of features, a frugal engine with a 5-speed transmission and ACG starter motor which makes life much simpler. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read more -TVS Raider 125 First Ride Review..-TVS Raider 125 Road Test Review: The Gen Z’s Heartthrob.
