TVS Raider 125

62% Match

The TVS Raider 125 edges ahead with slightly stronger performance (11.2 bhp, 99 kmph top speed), a more premium 3-valve oil-cooled engine, and added practicality via under-seat storage. The Hero Glamour counters with superior fuel efficiency, a longer warranty, and more free services, making it the better choice for buyers prioritizing running costs and after-sales value. Both are closely matched 125cc commuters, so the decision largely comes down to whether outright efficiency or engine refinement/storage matters more to the rider.
