- TVS has launched the single-seat variant of the Raider and discontinued the Drum variant which used to be the most affordable variant.
TVS Motor Company has silently launched a new single-seat version of the Raider in the Indian market. It is now the most affordable variant of the Raider as the Drum variant has been discontinued. This means that the Raider now gets front-disc as standard. The Raider single-seat is priced at ₹93,719. The Split seat variant and the top-spec SX variant are still on sale. They cost ₹94,719 and ₹1,00,820 respectively. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom.
The Split seat and Single-seat variants are almost identical. The only major difference is the colour schemes and seat design. As the name suggests, the single-seat variant comes with a single-piece seat which is supposed to be more comfortable and spacious than the split-seat unit. It should allow more room for the rider and the pillion to move around. Then there is the colour scheme, the single-seat variant will be sold only in the Striking Red scheme while the split-seat variant will be offered in Fiery Yellow, Blazing Blue, Striking Red and Wicked Black. The top-end SX variant is offered only in Fiery Yellow and Wicked Black colour schemes.
