In an attempt to bring retro charm to the commuter bike class, TVS has introduced the Radeon commuter bikes which are available at a starting price of ₹ 62,930 in India. The TVS commuter bike is available in three variants, namely, Radeon Drum - BS-VI, Radeon Commuter Bike of the Year-Drum and Radeon Commuter Bike of the Year-Disc.

The top variant starts with a price tag of ₹ 68,931. A 109.7 cc BS6 engine powers the retro-styled commuter bike. It produces a peak torque of 8.7 Nm at 4500 rpm and generates a maximum power of 8.19 bhp at 7350 rpm. The engine from TVS Radeon almost displaces 110cc. It is a fuel-injected and air-cooled single-cylinder which helps it generate 87Nm and 8.1bhp.

It has a fuel tank capacity of 10 litres. The BS4 engine offers a mileage of 69.3 kmpl, and with the fuel injection, TVS claims to have improved the mileage by 15%. Hence, you can expect to cruise more than 600 kilometres in one go with a full tank. The Radeon bike weighs 116 kg and is equipped with both rear and front drum brakes. TVS has given Radeon a combi-braking system on both ends.

Except for the top model, which has the disc-drum setup, the other two variants have drums only along with the TVS Synchronized Braking Technology. The Radeon bike also witnessed advanced technological upgrades with a USB charging port, a side-stand indicator with a beeper and the standard LED DRLs.

Radeon is also TVS’ solution to Bajaj Platina 110 and Hero Splendor. The TVS commuter bike has included some great features to offer more values to the consumers. As mentioned above, only the top variant gets the front disc brake, but all three models feature standard electric start and allow wheels.

A Royal Enfield Classic inspiration is visible in Radeon’s rubber tank grip, giving it a premium look. The decorated tank can hold about 10 litres of fuel. Making it a perfect value for money bike, TVS offers a 5-year warranty on Radeon.

Moreover, there is no shortage of versatility in terms of colours as TVS offers ten shades for Radeon along with two recently launched shades, Volcano Red and Titanium Grey.

The TVS Radeon competes in the commuter section with other bikes such as Bajaj Platina 110, Hero Splendor iSmart 110, etc. You can also consider Hero Splendor Plus and Hero HF Deluxe i3S as competitors in terms of pricing.
