    TVS Raider Deadpool and Wolverine Editions Launched

    TVS Raider Deadpool Edition
    TVS Motor Company has expanded its Raider Super Squad Edition portfolio in India with the launch of two striking new variants inspired by Marvel icons — Deadpool and Wolverine. The move builds on TVS’ unique positioning of the Raider as a Gen Z-focused motorcycle that blends style, performance, and technology in the competitive 125cc segment.
    Bold New Designs with Marvel Flair
    The new Raider Super Squad Editions (SSE) carry dynamic decals and graphics inspired by the larger-than-life Marvel characters. These additions follow the earlier Iron Man and Black Panther-inspired Raider editions introduced in 2023, making Raider the first motorcycle in India to roll out Marvel-themed variants. TVS says these designs are tailored for young riders who want their motorcycles to reflect both individuality and attitude.
    TVS Raider Wolverine Edition
    Under the skin, the TVS Raider SSE continues with the tried-and-tested 124.8cc, 3-valve engine producing best-in-class torque of 11.75 Nm @ 6,000 RPM, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. The bike is now equipped with iGO Assist with Boost Mode, which provides a burst of acceleration, and GTT (Glide Through Technology) that enhances low-speed rideability and fuel efficiency.
    The Raider SSE comes with a fully connected reverse LCD cluster offering over 85 features, aimed at keeping tech-savvy riders engaged. Features include ride data analytics, navigation assistance, call/SMS alerts, and more — ensuring that functionality complements the sporty character.
    Strengthening the Marvel Partnership
    By introducing Deadpool and Wolverine into the line-up, TVS continues to deepen its collaboration with Marvel. The company says these editions are crafted to appeal to Gen Z, who resonate strongly with pop culture icons and demand products that are as stylish as they are functional.
    The new TVS Raider Super Squad Edition has been priced at Rs 99,465 (Ex-showroom, Delhi) and will be available at TVS Motor Company dealerships across India starting this month. With these additions, the TVS Raider Super Squad Edition continues to position itself as a fun, stylish, and tech-rich motorcycle, catering to young buyers looking for more than just a commuter — a machine that reflects their personality and lifestyle.

    New TVS Electric Scooter Launch on 28th Aug – Orbiter Could Be the Name

    New TVS Electric Scooter
    TVS Motor is gearing up to launch an all-new electric scooter in India on 28th August 2025. Ahead of the official debut, the company has released a teaser with the caption “Get ready for an electrifying ride”, confirming that the upcoming model will indeed be an EV.
    New TVS Electric Scooter
    Recently, leaked design sketches from Indonesia had given a glimpse of what could be TVS’s next electric scooter. The design language shows a sporty and futuristic stance with sharp LED lighting elements. At the front, it gets sleek horizontal LED DRLs along with LED turn indicators, while the main headlamp unit is positioned on the handlebar cowl. A tall windscreen adds to its touring-oriented styling.
    New TVS Electric Scooter
    The scooter features slim body panels with a prominent design element running from the apron through the floorboard, possibly housing the battery pack. At the rear, it sports a split grab rail, LED tail lamps, and a tidy tail section. Other notable design highlights include a small glovebox with charging port, dual rear shock absorbers, and wheels that appear to be 14-inch at the front and 12-inch at the rear.
    Speculation also suggests that the scooter could be powered by a mid-mounted motor, offering better balance and performance compared to hub-mounted setups. With TVS already offering the iQube, this new model is expected to be positioned lower in the lineup, targeting customers looking for a more affordable EV option.
    New TVS Electric Scooter – Orbiter
    Adding weight to the speculation, TVS has trademarked a new name – “Orbiter” – which could likely be the official name of this upcoming scooter. If true, the Orbiter will join TVS’s expanding electric mobility portfolio and strengthen its position in India’s fast-growing EV two-wheeler segment.
    With the teaser now live, all eyes are set on 28th August, when TVS will reveal full details of its latest electric scooter, including specifications, range, features, and pricing. More

    New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider – Features, Specs, Prices Compared

    New Hero Glamour X vs TVS RaiderWith multiple segment-first features, the new Hero Glamour X is well-positioned to capture a larger share of the 125-cc motorcycle market
    While Hero MotoCorp holds a dominant position in the 100cc motorcycle segment, it has yet to achieve similar success in the 125cc category. Things could change with the all-new Glamour X, positioned as India’s most futuristic 125cc motorcycle. Let’s compare the new Hero Glamour X vs. primary rival TVS Raider to understand how they stack up in terms of features, performance and value.
    Segment-first features, tech kit
    New Hero Glamour X is India’s first 125cc motorcycle to get cruise control. This is generally seen with premium bikes, but Hero has now set a new standard in the 125cc segment. New Glamour X also comes with 1st-in-segment ride modes of Eco, Road and Power. Another segment-first feature is the panic brake alert, which activates the winker when the user brakes hard. This improves safety, as other road users get a clear message.
    New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider
    New Glamour X is equipped with AERA (Advanced Electronic Ride Assist) with ride-by-wire technology. Another key USP is a 4.2-inch multi-colour fully digital LCD instrument cluster with 60+ functions. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, adaptive brightness, fuel efficiency and range to empty. Also, call/SMS alerts, gear indicator and advisory, ride mode selection and cruise control indicator. A Type-C USB charging port has also been provided.
    In comparison, rival TVS Raider 125 is available with either a reverse LCD display with 85+ features or a TFT console with 99 features. This is based on the variant. Some of the key features include navigation, call management, voice assist, sports updates, weather updates, low fuel alert and on-console notifications. A USB charging port is available and safety is enhanced with a side stand engine cut-off function.
    New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider
    TVS Raider 125 also has riding modes of Eco, Power and Boost. While Glamour X has an all-LED setup, TVS Raider has LED headlamp and tail lamp. Both bikes have kick start in addition to the self-start switch. The kickstart was recently introduced with TVS Raider with the 2025 model and is available with only the base variants.
    Performance, specs, pricing
    New Hero Glamour X gets power from a 124.7 cc air cooled engine that generates 11.55 PS and 10.4 Nm of torque. In comparison, TVS Raider 125 has a 124.8 cc air & oil cooled engine that generates 11.38 PS and 11.75 Nm of torque. Both bikes have a 5-speed transmission.
    Glamour X has 18-inch wheels, as compared to 17-inch units on TVS Raider. Tyre sizes are 80/100 and 100/80 and 80/100 and 100/90, respectively. While telescopic front forks are common for both bikes, the rear suspension is dual rear shock absorbers with Glamour X and a gas-charged monoshock unit with TVS Raider. Drum and disc brake variants are available with both bikes.
    New Hero Glamour X is available at a starting price of Rs 89,999 (Drum brake variant). The Glamour X Disc brake variant starts at Rs 99,999. In comparison, TVS Raider 125 base variant with drum brake is available at a starting price of Rs 87,375. The top-spec SX variant is priced at Rs 1,02,665. More

    TVS Ntorq 150 Teased Ahead Of Sep 1st Unveil – New Design, Features?

    TVS Ntorq 150 TeasedTVS Motor is credited with the creation of a sporty scooter segment in India within 125cc displacement category. The company did this with Ntorq 125 which held its crown in this sporty 125cc scooter segment for around 7 years. Now, TVS is upping the game with a new Ntorq 150 (name not confirmed), which has been teased for the first time ahead of official unveil.
    TVS Ntorq 150 Teased
    Ntorq 125 was launched way back in 2018 and has ruled the sporty 125cc space for a long time. There has been multiple updates to this scooter in terms of facelifts with improved features list and other paraphernalia. TVS even infused some fun into the mix as it launched Super Squad Editions in collaboration with Marvel.
    Now, TVS is upping the game in sporty scooter segment with the launch of a larger Ntorq, which is teased for the first time. In true TVS fashion, not a lot is known about this upcoming scooter, which will be unveiled on September 1st 2025. Word on the streets is that TVS will launch a 150cc Ntorq to rival Yamaha’s Aerox 155, Aprilia SR175 and soon to launch Hero Xoom 160.
    Where design is concerned, soon to launch TVS Ntorq 150 is still under the wraps. Only headlight design is revealed in TVS’ latest teaser. Speaking of, there seems to be a quad-projector LED headlight setup on this scooter. Two, for low beam and two for high beam, we suppose.
    New TVS Scooter Spied – Is this Ntorq 150?
    What to expect?
    These headlights are likely to be fixed on front apron, rather than on its handlebar. Where components are concerned, Ntorq 150 could be based on 14-inch alloy wheels at both ends, first TVS scooter to do so. This has become a trend in the recent times as Aerox 155, SR 175, SR 125 and even Xoom 125 offer 14-inch wheels.
    Larger wheels help in plusher and sorted ride dynamics along with a certain level of rough-road ability which smaller wheels cannot achieve. One can even hope for rear disc brake, which has become common in performance electric scooters. We can also expect the same 5-inch TFT instrument screen seen with Raider 125.

    Rumour mill suggests TVS Ntorq 150 will pack around 150cc of displacement with performance metrics of around 12 bhp of peak power and 13 Nm of peak torque, mated to a CVT gearbox. Tag line for this upcoming scooter is ‘Feel The Thrill For Never Before’, suggesting a thrilling performance. Even the exhaust note in this teaser has a bassy tone to it. TVS will unveil it on September 1st and deliveries are likely to commence after some time.
