Price: TVS Radeon price for its variant - Radeon All Black Edition starts at Rs. 87,527. The price for the other variants - Radeon Drum, Radeon Digital - Drum and Radeon Digital - Disc are Rs. 89,728, Rs. 1,00,165 and Rs. 1,04,617. The mentioned Radeon prices are the on-road price of Mandla.
TVS Radeon is a commuter bike available in 4 variants and 8 colours. The TVS Radeon is powered by 109.7cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 8.08 bhp and a torque of 8.7 Nm. With front disc and rear drum brakes, TVS Radeon comes up with combined braking system of both wheels. This Radeon bike weighs 115 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 10 liters.
TVS Motor Company has launched the Radeon with two new colour schemes in India.
There is the Red and Black option as well as a Blue and Black option. Both come with a dual-tone fuel tank with the rest of the motorcycle in black. The side panels, however, feature red or blue depending on the paint scheme. Besides this, the dual-tone option on the Radeon remains the same in terms of engine, suspension, and brakes. Even the list of features that include the LED DRL and USB charging port are the same.
However, the dual-tone variants are priced higher than the other versions. The drum variant costs Rs 68,982 while the disc comes in at 71,982 making them Rs 900 more expensive. These colour schemes are just in time for the upcoming festive season and are said to commemorate the Radeon’s 4 lakh customers since launch. And now, the motorcycle is available in a total of 10 paint schemes in the country.
The Radeon is TVS’ answer to the Hero Splendor. It offers quite a few features in an effort to deliver more value to the customer. While alloy wheels and electric start are standard, front disc is offered with the celebratory special edition and dual-tone version.
The Radeon’s engine displaces nearly 110cc. This air-cooled single-cylinder, fuel-injected motor generates 8.08bhp and 8.7Nm. The BS4 carbureted motor was claimed to deliver a mileage of 69.3kpl which, TVS says, is up by 15 per cent after the inclusion of fuel injection now. The brakes are drums only (except for the celebratory special edition which gets disc-drum setup) but it does have TVS’ Synchronized Braking Technology. Its features include a side stand indicator with a beeper, a USB charging port (optional) and LED DRLs.
It also offers rubber tank grips like the Royal Enfield Classic does. The tank holds a maximum of 10 litres. TVS offers a 5-year warranty on the Radeon. The 110cc commuter motorcycle is available with the choice of 12 colour options comprising of Pearl White, Metal Black, Golden Beige, Royal Purple and the recently introduced Volcano Red and Titanium Grey. The celebratory special edition is offered in two new colour options of Chrome Black and Chrome Brown. Moreover, it also gets Regal Blue and Chrome Purple and two new dual-tone options of Black/Red and Black/Blue.
The Radeon faces competition from the Hero Splendor iSmart 110, Honda Livo, and Bajaj Discover 110 in terms of specs. However, considering its pricing, it also competes against the Hero HF Deluxe i3S and Hero Splendor Plus.
The TVS Radeon is a near-perfect commuter. It offers a smooth gearbox and comfortable ergonomics although its real-world efficiency figures are lesser than that of its rivals.

The Radeon is TVS’ contender in the entry-level commuter segment, a fiercely competitive space with multiple products from brands like Hero MotoCorp and Bajaj. Despite that, the Radeon manages to stand out with a couple of likeable traits which we scrutinised elaborately in our long term review of its BS4 model.
Now, the Radeon has been updated to comply with the new BS6 emission norms and the revisions have majorly been limited to its engine. To find out if it feels any different from the previous model, we spent some time with the Radeon BS6, riding it in the city and out on the highway.
