TVS has recently updated its entry-level Radeon commuter motorcycle for the new BS6 emissions that have come into force from April 1, 2020. As a part of the update, the Radeon has ditched its carburettor for a modern fuel injection system. Other mechanicals for the motorcycle remain the same as earlier with its 109.7cc single cylinder air cooled engine. As a consequence of the emissions upgrade, the engine now develops 8.08bhp @ 7,350rpm and 8.7Nm @ 4,500rpm. The engine continues to be mated to a four-speed constant mesh gearbox. As a result of the mechanical changes, the Radeon now weighs 4kg more than earlier while it is claimed to be 15 per cent more efficient than earlier.
