Raider 125 becomes TVS Motor’s best selling motorcycle

FY2024 turns out to be the strongest year for the Raider 125 after sales reached 478,443 units during the financial year. Sales also increased by 100 percent compared to FY2023 volumes. Hence, this motorcycle became the best selling bike of TVS Motor during that period.
