2. Boost Mode with iGo Assist
The iGo Assist technology provides an additional torque boost of 0.55 Nm which can come in handy in quick overtaking situations. It also integrates the Integrated Starter Generator with an auto start/stop system function that turns off the engine during stops and restarts it automatically. This helps in offering better fuel economy.
3. Follow me home headlamp
The bike now also features a follow-me home headlamp. It is a feature that we have seen on cars and recently in a few scooters as well. It basically keeps the headlamp illuminated for a short time even after the ignition and engine is switched off, helping the rider in dark and parking conditions.

4. Glide Through Technology
Glide Through Technology first debuted on the Apache motorcycles of TVS Motor Company. And slowly it trickled down to the more affordable Raider as well. What it does is allows the rider to crawl in city traffic without any throttle input. TVS achieved this by allowing the ECU to increase the revs of the engine automatically when it detects that the engine might stall.
TVS Raider Dual Disc variant
TVS Motor Company also made few cosmetic changes. First up, there are minor cosmetic changes so that the top-end variant can be differentiated from other variants. It comes with metallic silver bodywork, which is paired with a split seat setup and a red alloy wheel. The tyres on the motorcycle are also wider that should offer better stability and grip.
TVS Raider Dual Disc prices
The new TVS Raider is priced at ₹95,600 (Ex-showroom Delhi) for TFT DD and ₹93,800 (Ex-showroom Delhi) for SXC DD.
