In short

The Radeon is TVS's mid-range 110cc commuter, offering a 63kmpl claimed mileage and an idle start-stop system, priced from ₹73,715. It targets buyers who want a step up from the most basic commuters in features and finish, though it sticks with drum brakes throughout and lacks a disc option even on the top variant.

What works

  • Idle start-stop system, unusual at this price point
  • USB charging port and LED daytime running lamp standard
  • 5-year, 60,000km warranty matches TVS's premium bikes
  • 113kg kerb weight keeps it manageable in traffic

What doesn't

  • No disc brake option on any variant
  • 63kmpl claimed mileage trails rivals like the Splendor Plus
  • Top Digital-Disc naming is misleading since braking stays drum

Best for: Daily office commute, First-time two-wheeler buyer, Budget-conscious families

Price and variants

Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.

The Radeon is sold in 4 variants, from ₹73,715 for the All Black Edition to ₹83,304 for the Digital - Disc, ex-showroom Delhi.

That makes it priced 6th lowest among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the CT 110 (₹1,132 more) and the Star City Plus (₹1,689 less).

On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹85,900 for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.

Mileage

Radeon's claimed mileage is 63 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 59–66 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.

Among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed it ranks 15th for mileage, 2 kmpl below the group average of 65 kmpl.

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Engine and ride

The 110cc air-cooled engine makes 8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm through a 4 Speed. With a kerb weight of 113 kg that is 72 bhp per tonne, 14th best power-to-weight of the 21 bikes in this class we have reviewed.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The Radeon sits just above TVS's entry-level Sport in the commuter line-up, adding an idle start-stop system, USB charging and a fuller features list for a bit more money, from ₹73,715. What it doesn't add is a disc brake on any variant, which feels like an odd omission when the top Digital-Disc trim's name suggests otherwise.

Riding it every day

At 113kg the Radeon is easy to manage in traffic and its 180mm ground clearance handles Indian speed breakers and uneven roads without much drama. The five-step adjustable rear shock is a nice touch for tuning ride quality to your weight and typically the road conditions you face. Daily commuting duties, filtering through gaps, holding a steady 50-60kmph, feel unstressed for this class of bike.

What to know before buying

The claimed 63kmpl figure and the real-world band of 59-66kmpl in the brief suggest realistic expectations rather than the higher numbers TVS's own Sport claims. TVS's service network is dense across most towns, and the 5-year, 60,000km warranty is generous for this segment, but do sit on the bike first since there's no listed seat height and riders vary in how the ergonomics suit them.

Who should buy it

This is a sensible pick for a buyer who wants more equipment than the bare-bones Sport or Platina 100 without paying for the extra performance of a 125cc bike. Anyone who prioritises braking confidence over feature count should look at the Splendor Plus or a disc-equipped rival instead.

Features and colours

  • Tubeless tyres
  • Alloy wheels
  • Side-stand engine cut-off
  • Hazard lamps
  • LED daytime running lamp
  • USB charging port
  • Idle start-stop

On safety kit the Radeon has tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps.

Against CT 110, Platina 110 or Splendor Plus, it gets idle start-stop that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: combi-brake (cbs) and led headlamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 8 colours: Metal Black, All Black, Titanium Grey, Royal Purple, Starlight Blue, Black, Blue and Black and Red and Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Full specifications and every feature explained

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 5 years or 60,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.

TVS runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 4,500 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.

On sale since 2018, the Radeon is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.

Radeon: questions people ask

What is the price of the TVS Radeon?
The Radeon costs between ₹73,715 and ₹83,304 ex-showroom Delhi across 4 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.
What is the on-road price of the Radeon in Delhi?
Roughly ₹85,900 for the base variant in Delhi: ₹73,715 ex-showroom plus ₹5,897 road tax, ₹1,100 registration and about ₹5,181 insurance. This is an estimate; dealer quotes include handling and accessories.
What is the mileage of the Radeon?
Claimed mileage is 63 kmpl. Owners typically see 59–66 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding.
How much does the Radeon cost to run per month?
Fuel works out to about ₹1.52 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹1,183 a month before servicing.
What is the EMI for the Radeon?
With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,340 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
What is the engine capacity and power of the Radeon?
It uses a 110cc engine producing 8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm, with a 4 speed.
Radeon or CT 110: which is better?
The CT 110 is ₹1,132 more expensive to start and more efficient at 70 kmpl against 63 kmpl. Pick the Radeon for daily office commute, the CT 110 for rural and rough roads. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
Which bikes are cheaper than the Radeon?
Among the 21 commuter bikes we have reviewed, the HF Deluxe (₹58,688), the Platina 100 (₹71,038), the Sport (₹65,714) start lower.
Is the Radeon's braking adequate without a disc option?
The drum setup is fine for typical city speeds under normal conditions, but it needs more lever effort and distance to stop hard compared with a disc-equipped rival. Riders who frequently ride in heavy traffic or wet weather may prefer a bike with at least a front disc.
Does the Radeon need any special fuel or maintenance to hit its claimed mileage?
No premium fuel is required; it runs on regular petrol like other TVS commuters in this range. Getting close to the claimed 63kmpl typically depends more on steady throttle use and keeping to the 3,000km service interval than on fuel grade.
