With over 1 million units of the bike sold, TVS has launched a new variant of the Raider, called the iGO, at Rs 98,389 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The Raider iGO gets a boost feature, just like the new Jupiter 110 does, which gives the rider an additional 0.55Nm of torque, claims TVS.
The Raider always came equipped with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) and TVS has now leveraged that system to give the bike a little more pep. With the ‘boost’ engaged, TVS claims you get an extra 0.55Nm of torque and we expect this system to work in a similar manner as the new Jupiter 110, where it can provide the extra torque twice in one minute. To recap, the Raider is powered by a 124.8cc motor making 11.4hp and 11.2Nm of torque. With its petite 123kg kerb weight, it is one of the lightest commuters on the market.
To differentiate the Raider iGO from the standard model, TVS has given the former a unique Nardo Grey colour matched with red wheels. The iGO variant is priced Rs 680 more than the split seat variant of the Raider. With this variant’s debut, the Raider is now available in six variants – drum, single seat, split seat, iGO, super squad edition and the range-topping SX variant (which is the only one to use a TFT dash, unlike the LCD seen on the others).
