In my preference, a bike without ABS is a bit challenging to ride. Hence my decision to go with the Raider. A rider isn't a rider if he doesn't know how to brake well. Non-ABS bike teaches the rider how to brake and how to attack corners. Yes, the ABS becomes God's gift in case of sudden braking (in the case of a pedestrian or animal).
You have to remember that abs only kicks in when your wheels start to lock. So you have to brake in such a way that you don't give abs the chance to kick in. So ultimately you can learn to brake efficiently with abs too
Somewhat useful in other way. It enables disables start stop system. Prevent engine from high rpm running and keep bike at somehow safe speed at full throttle.
Raider 125 for 1 year 35k kms and i can tell that its a gem of an engine ❤️60 to 70 cruise can be easy om full synthetic engine oil and chain lubes and clean at regular intervals... While i stay near hills the pull impreseed me on the roads of Darjeeling with a pillion .....
What TVS made is a genuine attempt to give a new 125 CC and opened a premium segment in this category. Kudos to their thought process and their effort !!! But with Xtreme or Pulsar NS, they are good but it is like a smaller version of their original counterparts. More like a true copy while Raider has the edge to be unique !! And given that Xtreme came to the market knowing the weakness in the segment creator Raider, it offers ABS and stands out with that. But, I believe, there will be an update in the near future from TVS with maybe a Rear Disc which should do the most for 125 CC. PS: I am not a fanboy of TVS or anyone but felt TVS has pioneered to create this segment and giving them their due credit should be our job.
In TVS Raider air and oil cooling system is there but the other 125cc and some 150cc bikes are having only air cooling system. It improves the life of the engine and also helps in doing long rides. In case if ABS is not there just apply front break more and rear break only 40 to 50% there won't be any skidding. Raider is comfortable for youth as well as families in longer run. A single seat option should have been provided in Hero Xtreme 125R. In the bluetooth model on TVS Raider there is a ABS indicator they will bring ABS later on
Oh okay air cooled engines degrade the longevity of a motorcycle .. Royal Enfield 350, Himalayan,Twins Heck even the most reliable motorcycle ever made Splendor is air cooled so what's your point again
@@james_isaac My friend used a CB shine and did some long rides and his engine came to bore. Few days back during the extreme summer a CB shine caught fire due to lack of cooling efficiency. If oil cooling system was there it would have been cool to some extent. If you type in youtube Royal enfield caught fire you will get a lot of videos
@@james_isaac I'm talking about 125 and below cc vehicles especially on long rides. My friend used a CB Shine and he did some long rides. Due to lack of cooling his engine came to bore. Bullet and Himalayan are bigger capacity engines. Thats why we can do long rides well. But in case of 125 and below cc vehicles cooling system is important in long rides
They implemented auto start stop in eco mode .power mode doesn't trigger it . Except that there is no change but rpm is limited at higher speeds in eco
Tbh, no one uses those connected features on daily basis. Everyone uses it for Max to max 6 7 months. But kudos to tvs to provide it. But I just said what I think.
Idk wheather to feel happy that we are getting these 🔥 looking motorcycles in 125cc class....or Sad that these look wayy cooler than their 160cc counterparts....(RTR and Xtreme 160)....😶🌫️
Next, please do a comprehensive review of ALL the 125cc motorcycles in the market: Xtreme, Raider, Pulsar, Pulsar NS, CT 125X, Super Splendor, Glamour, Passion, Shine, SP125, Keeway SR125, KTM 125s (and any others that I might've missed).
Hey powerdrift can do u similar kind of compr for 150 cc commuters , Sp160, FZS FI Ver 4, suzuki gixxer and bajaj pulsar 150 cc if possible add tvs apache .
For 2L Ronin is a great option U can do loong distant rides comfortably with a more refined engine than RE with pillion infact And get better mileage as well... Handling is easier due to the bike being lighter
@@powerdriftofficial You can manage hero service. They are knowledgable and they never fool you. 5yrs exp from 2 cities. Fellow TVs riders suggest otherwise. Plus TVS has sooo many premature issues in their production bikes. Observation based on fellow TVs riders.
That AT is like white ranger in dinothunder 😂😂😂. Nobody knows who's under the helmet. Speaking of which, can you tell me the helmet model? I like it so much
The BGM at beginning is really annoying. Please stop adding this kind of bad music. Turn down the BGM volume a bit and try using little calm BGMs. This abomination of "music" won't make the video seem cool or funky, it just makes you to close the video.
Couldn't imagine a 125cc to look sooo good 7-8 years back when I was in college. We only had the OG Pulsar 125 and Shine as options❤
This is actually really good. TVS was brave enough to venture and we appreciate that move
Lol, 20 years ago, it was Discover 125 and Pulsar 150
@AKDEO Except Stunner, others looked more like daily commuters
One difference between the two
Raider looks like Bumblebee from Transformers
Xtreme looks like Mesogog from Power Rangers Dino Thunder
Ok! We had to Google Mesogog and WTH!
@@powerdriftofficial I am 100% sure that the designers of xtreme are Power Rangers nerd😂😂😂
Now I can't unsee it

Bingo! That's one of the reasons why most of us will recommend the Xtreme
125 rarely requires abs
There is also Non-ABS model available in Xtreme 125r
You have to remember that abs only kicks in when your wheels start to lock.
So you have to brake in such a way that you don't give abs the chance to kick in.
So ultimately you can learn to brake efficiently with abs too
The most useless feature is the riding modes on a 125😂😂
Only gimmick. No use. You are right 👍
Yup!
Finally someone said it

But I will still go for Xtreme over raider
The single seat option is a valid thing especially for this segment

Hey it looks like Strell, good to see you. Have you joined PD as a part time hobbyist?
LOL !
Nice work guys .. 👍 loved the episode 😁 🤗
Xtreme is a better bike and a better deal too😊😊
We think so yes
Why do we need ride modes in a 125
Ummm good question
They implemented auto start stop in eco mode .power mode doesn't trigger it . Except that there is no change but rpm is limited at higher speeds in eco
You are right. Only gimmick no use😆
@@Ankitkumar-pg2mw engine kill switch could have been better
Just to make you pay more
Thats the core reason why I love powerdrift... Superb head to head comparison ❤
Thanks a bunch
your effort deserves more views
In the full video the "Bheyiya" was epic 😂😂
And we are the "Team Bheyiya" ...😅😅
Hahahhahhahhahahah
I think Xtreme has nailed it and the presence of the ABS on the Extreme makes it the winner here
Was that strell?
Maybe 🤔
what about the fuel efficiency ?
Xtreme has better fule economy
Xtreme is way higher than the Raider.
125CC or 150CC which bike is best? Xtreme125R or Bajaj N150.
Sp160 or FZS
Tbh, no one uses those connected features on daily basis. Everyone uses it for Max to max 6 7 months. But kudos to tvs to provide it. But I just said what I think.
Does the SSE version of the Raider look childish? im planning to buy

Well, the 125cc look great, don't they? The 160cc definitely look bigger for sure.
the most organised machine video i have ever seen in india
Looking forward to more videos from Ananya and Unknown-ya.
Comment of the day!
We are happy that the 125cc class gets this treatment. The 160cc motorcycles look way different and we think they are equally cool in their own right.
At what time and around which day you hit the Balewadi HS usually ? Never been able to cach ur team in last 2 years
7am! See you there 😊🫰
Next, please do a comprehensive review of ALL the 125cc motorcycles in the market: Xtreme, Raider, Pulsar, Pulsar NS, CT 125X, Super Splendor, Glamour, Passion, Shine, SP125, Keeway SR125, KTM 125s (and any others that I might've missed).
We will try getting this mega comparo done
@@powerdriftofficial Cool 👍
Which better in terms of suspension ? Xtreme, I guess ?
Hey powerdrift can do u similar kind of compr for 150 cc commuters , Sp160, FZS FI Ver 4, suzuki gixxer and bajaj pulsar 150 cc if possible add tvs apache .
We can try sure
Why NS125 is omitted from this comparison?
We did not get the media unit
What about the mileage in hilly area ?
What's the helmet used by rider AT?
KYT TT Course
KYT TT Course yes!
I mean a 125cc segment buyer would definitely value the efficiency figures
You guy's missed it ..
We missed adding those. Apologies. But there’s a claimed number mentioned on their websites
They missed a lot of things it isn't an in-depth comparison . Even they don't have much info about those bikes ig
@@powerdriftofficial we need real world comparisons who cares about claimed mileage figures
Holy Shift, Rider AT is malayali!
That's right.
Feels like anurag that guy with Enfield 😆, sounds so similar with his behaviour
We are fans of Mr. Salgaonkar :D
Please make a comparo review btw Pulsar NS400z vs Duke 390 vs Triumph Street 400
That's a good plan
Very informative
Glad you liked it
Very helpful
I am thinking to buy new bike under 2lakh can you suggest some bikes with good mileage, performance and good life span
For 2L Ronin is a great option
U can do loong distant rides comfortably with a more refined engine than RE with pillion infact
And get better mileage as well...
Handling is easier due to the bike being lighter
When did Anurag Salgaonkar join PD 😮
Bwahahahhah
Hero's service network and reliability is a banger!!
But the service is a pain point.

Raider gear shift is smooth lol, i have sp 125 and my friend has raider, after watching your video i think this particular unit misbehave.
Maybe an issue with our unit, yes
