      TVS Raider 125 To Get 5 Inch TFT Screen, Navigation – New Features

      by

      Updated Raider 125 will retain the same 125cc engine with a 3V head, silent starter and oil-coolingNew TVS RaiderRaider 125 is a unique proposition when it comes to 125cc commuters. In the sea of boring-looking commuters, TVS has launched its Raider 125 and has created quite a niche for itself by offering a modern look. It is decently sized, decently proportioned and comes off as a well-rounded package.When we compared TVS Raider 125 with Keeway SR125 and Bajaj Pulsar NS125, the former comes off as the most balanced product. With segment-first features like a fully-digital instrument cluster, LED headlight and taillights, and unique DRLs to name a few. Rivals in this cut-throat segment are less forgiving and Hero MotoCorp came up with Passion XTEC with connectivity features as well.Now, the Hosur-based company is set to pull an ace through its sleeves and has teased a large display for updated Raider 125. TVS had promised an updated Raider 125 with a 5” colour TFT screen. Dubbed “The Wicked Update” for Raider 125, TVS has a couple of options to execute this feat. Let’s take a look.Updated Raider 125 To Feature 5” Colour TFT ScreenTVS has a 5” colour display that is equipped with base model of iQube electric scooter. Mid-spec S variant of iQube got a 7” colour TFT display with a D-pad to interact with it. Raider is likely to get the 5” colour TFT screen from Base-spec iQube electric scooter. To control and operate this screen, TVS might provide the D-pad from S trim iQube electric scooter.Upcoming Updated Raider 125Raider 125 already got a reverse LCD display with features like side stand indication, DTE, gear position indication, average speed recorder, dual trip meters, top speed recorder, and ride modes indication (Eco and Power). Updated Raider 125 is likely to get TVS’ Smart Xonnect Bluetooth connectivity that enables navigation and voice assistance, as teased by TVS themselves.Currently, TVS Raider prices start from Rs. 90K for drum brake variant and Rs. 95K for disc brake variant. Another way to look at this would be that a 5” single-unit colour TFT display is unheard of in a sub Rs. 1 lakh 125cc commuter. We have seen much more expensive products that get outdated instrument consoles.Specs & PricingUpdated Raider 125 will retain the outgoing model’s 125cc single-cylinder engine. This engine gets segment-first features like a 3V head, silent starter and oil cooling, even though it is not readily visible. It is capable of making 11.22 bhp at 7,500 RPM and 11.2 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 RPM. It gets mated to a 5-speed gearbox.Pricing might cross the Rs. 1 lakh mark and even go to Rs. 1.05 lakh with updated Raider 125. With features like turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, calls alerts and notifications, updated Raider 125 comes off as a more appealing product than Passion XTEC by Hero MotoCorp. Launch will happen on 19th October in a virtual event called Motoverse. More

The updated bike is available at a starting price of Rs 1,17,790, as compared to Rs 1,16,500 of the old model. With marginal differences in old and new pricing, customers shouldn’t hesitate to choose the newer model.Old Apache 160 will continue to be sold alongside the new model till stocks are available. It is possible that dealers may offer some discounts on the older model to clear available inventory. For folks who are not sure which model to choose, YouTuber rider Biker Mjk has uploaded a detailed comparison video of New Apache 160 2V vs. old Apache 160 2V.New Apache 160 vs. Old Apache 160 featuresWhile old Apache 160 has halogen headlamp and LED DRLs combo, new Apache 160 has LED headlamp + LED DRLs. Design of the headlamp casing has been updated for an aggressive look and feel. Side section of the headlamp cowl has been refreshed as well, but it is noticeable only on closer inspection. Body graphics and decals have also been updated.Side profile looks sportier, with changes to the tank cowl and engine cowl. These changes are also functionally relevant, as they improve the bike’s ability to slice through the air. Tank scoops work to channel fresh air to the engine and disperse hot air, thereby achieving temperature reduction of up to 10° Celsius. At rear, new Apache 160 gets an updated Neon 3D style tail lamp.New TVS Apache 160 2V vs RivalsIn terms of functionality, new Apache 160 gets a full digital instrument console. Apart from the speedometer, tachometer, odometer, clock, fuel gauge, etc., the display also has a top speed indicator and lap timer. The digital display has white backlit, making it suitable for both day and night operations. Old Apache 160 has a semi-digital instrument console.Bluetooth smartphone pairing with TVS Smart Xonnect connectivity suite is available with top-spec variant of new Apache 160. Users will be able to access features such as call/SMS alert, race telemetry, turn-by-turn navigation, low fuel warning and assist, lean angle mode and crash alert.New Apache 160 vs. Old Apache 160 performanceThere’s not much difference between power and torque numbers of new and old Apache 160. New Apache 160 generates 16.04 PS, which is only a tad better than 15.31 PS of old model. However, new Apache 160 can deliver better performance, as it’s 2 kg lighter than its predecessor. New Apache 160 has also been equipped with ride modes of Sport, Urban and Rain.[embedded content][embedded content]With a multitude of updates and price increase of just around Rs 1,300, new Apache 160 will surely be the first choice of most customers. The updated bike will also appeal to folks who give preference to connectivity features. However, some users can still choose the old model in case some attractive festive discounts or offers are available at dealer level. More

      New TVS Apache 160cc Detailed In First Look Walkaround

      by

      For MY2022, TVS Apache RTR 2V new model gets slightly more power and at the same time, slightly less weightNew TVS Apache 160ccApache is to TVS what Pulsar is to Bajaj. With arch rivalry between the two for more than a decade. Pulsar was an instant hit for Bajaj and marked a new direction for the brand. For a long time, TVS Apache series is the only logical and significant rival for Pulsar series. This duo was also joined by FZ series by Yamaha.Even today, when we take motorcycle sales, Pulsar series outsell both Apache series and FZ series. That is because Bajaj has a lot more motorcycles under its Pulsar series than TVS has in Apache series and Yamaha has in FZ series.Recently, TVS updated its Apache RTR 2V range to MY2022 with subtle upgrades. They make the Apache RTR 2V New model a better offering than its predecessor. Let’s take a look at what all the changes are.New TVS Apache 160cc WalkaroundFor starters, these upgrades are offered with both 160cc model and 180cc model as well. With its Apache RTR 4V range, TVS had offered a slew of new and modern features. In comparison, one could say that 2V range was a little uninspiring. But that has now changed. Take a look at the detailed walkaround video below, credited to The Sameer Vlogs.[embedded content][embedded content]Newer bikes have been blessed with slightly more power. And, at the same time, reduced the weight as well. Weight reduction is 2 kg with Apache RTR 160 and 1 kg with Apache RTR 180. This allows for higher power:weight ratio than before. The fact that this weight reduction is possible despite added features, is even more commendable.Previously, RTR 160 made 15.31 bhp and 13.9 Nm and now, it makes 16 bhp and 13.85 Nm. RTR 180 however, made 16.56 bhp and 15.5 Nm and now makes 17 bhp and 15.5 Nm. These upgrades are under the skin and are not visible to naked eye. What is visible though, are the added features.Feature AdditionsSpeaking of upgrades, the one that is immediately noticeable is its new headlight design. Previously, both RTR 160 and 180 used to get halogen bulbs along with LED DRLs. But now, both models are upgraded to LED headlights and slightly redesigned LED DRLs. Even the LED taillights are new and get 3D LED elements that look sharper than the previous model.New TVS Apache 160ccOther changes include a slightly redesigned chrome exhaust cover, grippier and wider tyres and some more. The main change is in the form of its fully digital instrument console which now gets Bluetooth connectivity along with 3 riding modes. Old model used to get an analog tachometer with a small digital display for speedo and other functions. Apache RTR 2V new models get dual channel ABS, slipper clutch and also a new fuel injection system.TVS offers a slew of new colours too. Both get Matt Blue, Racing Red, Gloss Black, T Grey and Pearl White option. In terms of pricing, Apache RTR 2V new models start at Rs. 1,17,790 for 160cc model and Rs. 1,30,590 for 180cc model. More

      New TVS Ntorq Marine Blue Colour Launch Price Rs 87k

      by

      TVS NTorq 125 is regarded by many as the benchmark in the 125cc scooter segment and for a good reason tooTVS Ntorq Blue Colour – New LaunchTVS is not at the top of scooter sales as Honda takes that place. Honda can’t be shaken down from that spot any time in the future. With Activa as its backbone, Honda is the absolute scooter champ in India and appeals to the masses. Activa price hikes don’t hurt its image either.But when it comes to appealing to scooter enthusiasts, a few offerings from other manufacturers have carved a niche for themselves. With NTorq, TVS has made a mark in sporty 125cc scooter segment. Many even regard NTorq as a benchmark in this segment too. Ntorq 125 earns this title because it’s a good example of a balanced act. It has the right amount of features, performance, handling, and even fuel efficiency too.NTorq 125 has various variants and one among them is Race Edition. It was only offered in red and black shade for a long time and was accompanied by a yellow and black variant for some time as well. And now, TVS has offered a new Marine Blue colour choice for Rs. 87,011 and at first glance, it could be the best of the bunch. Let’s take a look.TVS NTorq Marine Blue – New Colour LaunchMechanically, TVS NTorq Marine Blue is identical to its counterparts. With a new shade on offer, TVS is now charging around Rs. 500 more for this scooter. Apart from Race Edition, TVS also offers NTorq Race XP which is slightly more powerful than the rest and also NTorq XT which comes with a colour TFT screen beside an LCD screen on the instrument console.TVS Ntorq Blue Colour – New LaunchTVS also offers NTorq Super Squad Edition in collaboration with Marvel Studio and offers Avengers theme scooters if that’s your jam. NTorq 125 measures 1,861 mm long, 710 mm wide, 1,164 mm tall and with a wheelbase of 1,285 mm.New Marine Blue colour makes the scooter look even sportier than it already is. LED headlights, LED taillights, and rest of the body panels are kept similar. All the connected features that Race Edition gets are obviously carried over. However, it doesn’t get the upgraded tech of NTorq 125 XT, nor does it get upgraded performance of NTorq 125 Race XP. Even Apache RTR 160 and 180 now gets some of these features too.Specs and PriceTVS Ntorq Marine Blue gets the tried and tested 124.8 cc single-cylinder engine. It gets a 3V head instead of a conventional 2V head offered by rivals. It makes 9.25 bhp of power at 7,000 RPM and 10.5 Nm of torque at 5,500 RPM. Whereas Race XP makes 10.06 bhp of power and 10.8 Nm of torque. NTorq 125 can reach 95 kmph and takes 9 seconds to reach 60 km/h from stand still.With this new Marine Blue along with Red Edition, TVS NTorq 125 further strengthens its presence among competition in the segment. It locks horns with Honda Activa 125, Grazia 125, Suzuki Access 125, Avenis 125, Hero Maestro Edge 125 and Yamaha Fascino and Ray ZR. More
