Our Take
The TVS Raider 125 SXC DD is ideal for riders who want a sporty commuter with modern features and improved braking, without paying extra for a TFT screen. It offers a strong mix of performance, safety and connectivity, making it a sensible upgrade over lower variants and a great everyday motorcycle in the 125cc segment. That said, the difference between the SXC DD and the TFT DD variant is just Rs 1,795. For that money, you get a more feature-loaded and a modern-looking TFT console instead of the LCD console.
