Featuring a single-cradle tubular frame, the TVS Radeon gets telescopic&nbsp;forks and&nbsp;preload-adjustable shock absorbers for suspension.

The 110mm drum brake at the rear remains the same for the latter as well.&nbsp;

TVS Motor Company has introduced a new colour option for the entry-level variant of the Radeon commuter bike in India. Now, the TVS Radeon Base Edition comes in 5 colour options.

When it comes to purchasing a bike&nbsp;in India, fuel efficiency has always been a key differentiator. In fact, when sales are taken into account, the best-selling&nbsp;models&nbsp;are also among the most fuel-efficient in the country. Due to their focus on providing the best mileage per litre of petrol, they are comparatively more affordable, compact, and lack any frills or&nbsp;unnecessary features.&nbsp;Commuter motorcycles between 100cc and 110cc make up the pool of the&nbsp;most popular motorcycles sold in India because of their high fuel efficiency and inexpensive maintenance costs.&nbsp;For buyers&nbsp;who are concerned about mileage, there are numerous options from two-wheeler manufacturers including Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj, TVS, and Honda Motorcycle&nbsp;and Scooter India. Nowadays, when&nbsp;petrol prices keep surging&nbsp;like the temperature in the scorching desert, the importance of these motorcycles becomes even more significant.&nbsp;So, let's look at the list of the top 5&nbsp;most reasonably priced, fuel-efficient bikes available in India.

Top 5 Most Fuel-efficient Bikes in India: Hero Splendor Plus, Bajaj Platina 100, TVS Sport and More

When purchasing a new bike in India, fuel efficiency figures are considered to be an important aspect of consideration. Given that the majority of Indians own two-wheelers, here are the country's top five best mileage motorcycles to help you get through the excruciating fuel price spike.

Prices of the Jupiter have risen across all variants. TVS’ 125cc offering, the Ntorq, now demands in the range of Rs 540 to Rs 1,540 more than before. The TVS Radeon has also gotten a revision in its pricing 

Just like a lot of other two-wheeler manufacturers, TVS has announced a hike in the price of some of its products too. The Hosur-based bike maker’s best-selling scooter, the Jupiter, now starts at Rs 64,437 for the base steel wheel variant, which is Rs 940 higher than before. Similarly, the fully loaded ZX trim with the disc brake option now carries a sticker price of Rs 73,737 – a hike of Rs 1,390 over its previous price. The TVS Jupiter Classic is now priced at Rs 73,707.

TVS has also revised the prices of the Ntorq. The popular 125cc offering now starts at Rs 71,095 which is over Rs 500 more than before. The Disc brake and Race Editions now demand Rs 75,395 and Rs 78,375 respectively. The Super Squad Edition of the Ntorq is now dearer by Rs 1,540 and is priced at Rs 81,075.

Aside from these two scooters, TVS has also upped the price of its commuter motorcycles – the Star City+ and the Radeon. The latter has in fact seen a substantial hike in its price ranging from Rs xx to Rs 1,500 for the base trim to Rs 2,825 for the Commuter of the Year editions. The Star City+, on the other hand, now starts at Rs 66,895 for the drum brake version with the electric start. The disc brake trim demands Rs 69,465 – a increase in price of Rs 1,000.

TVS had <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/tvs-radeon-enters-the-bs6-era-107603/">updated the Radeon to meet the BS6 emission norms in April 2020</a>, and now, the Chennai-based manufacturer is celebrating the three lakh-unit&nbsp;sales milestone of its 110cc commuter&nbsp;motorcycle. To mark the occasion, TVS has launched a new 'Dhaakad' campaign to highlight the bike's key features.

The Regal Blue colour option is available in the Base variant line-up, alongside other colour options like&nbsp;Royal Purple, Pearl White, Golden Beige, Metal Black, Titanium Grey, and&nbsp;Volcano Red. The&nbsp;Chrome Purple, on the other hand, is available only with the&nbsp;Commuter of the Year (COTY) Special Edition, alongside&nbsp;Chrome Black and&nbsp;Chrome Brown.

With the BS6 update, TVS Radeon features the brand's latest&nbsp;EcoThrust Fuel-Injection (ET-Fi) technology, applied to the bike's&nbsp;109.7cc single-cylinder engine. It develops&nbsp;8.08bhp and 8.7Nm of torque. While the&nbsp;ET-Fi tech has made the BS6 Radeon 15% more fuel-efficient, the updates have also made the bike heavier by around 4kgs.

The base Radeon is offered with six colour options while the Commuter of the Year trims only come with Chrome Black and Chrome Brown options.

After a nominal price hike of Rs 750, the TVS Radeon now carries a sticker price of Rs 59,742 for the standard variant. The Commuter Bike of the Year trim with the disc option is priced at Rs 65,742

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&nbsp;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.

TVS Radeon enters the BS6 era

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.

Finding yourself on an 110cc commuter motorcycle on a racetrack can be a bit amusing. And since all of us love to have a good laugh, we had the all-new TVS Radeon for our entertainment during our time at the track. That, however, doesn’t mean that we didn’t test its real-world performance seriously. You see, at the end of the day, the low-end commuter segment is what forms the backbone of the major two-wheeler manufacturers in India – as these are the products that keep their cash registers ringing.&nbsp;

<img alt="Tvs Radeon Parameters" src="/uploads/2018/11/Tvs-Radeon-Parameters.jpg" style="float: right; width: 343px; height: 269px; margin-bottom: 10px;" />

Coming to the Radeon, it’s TVS’ brand new 110cc commuter that slots neatly between the company’s Star range of 100cc motorcycles and the more premium Victor, with which it also shares its heart. Speaking of the engine, the Radeon is propelled by a single-cylinder 109.7cc motor that churns out 8.3bhp and 8.7Nm of torque. Power transmission duties are carried out by a 4-speed gearbox. Now, of course, riding the Radeon at the BIC was akin to being on a pedal boat in an ocean, which is something that’s also reflected in its lap time. However, you can’t really complain about it, because the main aim of this motorcycle is to provide a comfortable, effortless and easily accessible riding experience. And that’s where it excels. The seat is large and comfy, the dials are big and easy to read, the seat height is quite low and the pegs are placed flat to give you a relaxed riding posture. Taller riders may find the ergonomics cramped, but for average height folks, the riding position is very comfortable.

The engine performance is nothing to write home about, but it’s a free-revving motor with a strong low end. The top-end isn’t weak, as compared with other bikes in the segment, but vibrations start creeping in from the handlebars above 70km/h. The handling is neutral, but the suspension is tuned to be on the firmer side. The ride quality, as a result, tends to get choppy at times.&nbsp;

All said and done, the Radeon does the job, but it doesn’t have the ‘X-Factor’ of its newer siblings, especially the NTorq and <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/tvs-apache-rtr-160-4v-review-first-ride-103391/">TVS Apache RTR 160 4V</a>. And that’s why it’s appeared at the tail end of our test scores.

TVS Radeon, Track Test

Finding yourself on an 110cc commuter motorcycle on a racetrack can be a bit amusing. And since all of us love to have a good laugh, we had the all-new TVS Radeon for our entertainment during our time at the track.

TVS' brand new commuter, the Radeon, is aimed at youngsters in small towns and rural India.&nbsp;

TVS has launched a brand new 110cc motorcycle in India to strengthen its presence in the commuter segment. Billed as the Radeon, this new commuter is aimed primarily at youngsters and will be available in a single variant that’s priced at Rs 48,400 (ex-showroom, Delhi).&nbsp;

The Radeon is based on the same platform as the <a href="https://www.autox.com/reviews/bike-reviews/tvs-star-city-plus-review/">TVS Star City Plus</a>&nbsp;and, as a result, it has the same mechanicals as well. However, unlike its plain-Jane sibling, the Radeon comes with some stylish bits such as a unique tank with knee pads, a flat saddle, LED DRL, gold-finish engine casing and a lot of chrome. It also features a sporty analog instrument cluster.&nbsp;

Powering the Radeon is the same 109.7cc engine that does duty in the Star City. The engine develops 8.2bhp and 8.7Nm of torque and comes paired to a four-speed gearbox. The claimed fuel efficiency is 69.3km/l and the fuel tank capacity is 10 litres. Both the wheels get drum brakes, and they come with ‘Synchronised Braking Technology’ – which means using either of the brakes will automatically&nbsp;apply both the brakes. There’s also a side-stand indicator that comes with a beeper.&nbsp;

TVS is offering a five-year warranty with the Radeon and plans to sell as many as 2 lakh units of the motorcycle annually. The TVS Radeon will compete with Honda CD110 Dream, Hero Splendor, et al.&nbsp;&nbsp;
