-
Flex-Fuel Engine: The TVS Raider 125 Flex-Fuel has the capability to run on different ethanol blends, such as E20 (20% ethanol, 80% petrol), which makes it more eco-friendly compared to traditional petrol-only engines.

Performance: It’s expected to have a similar performance to the petrol-only TVS Raider 125, which comes with a 124.8 cc air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing around 11.4 bhp and 11.2 Nm of torque. The flex-fuel variant would likely retain this performance with optimized efficiency for ethanol.
