Aiming to strengthen its presence in the highly competitive entry-level two-wheeler space ahead of the festive season, TVS Motor has launched the refreshed 2026 iteration of its budget commuter motorcycle, the Radeon. Built to rival existing offerings in the 100 cc to 110 cc displacement segment, the updated model introduces modern LED lighting hardware, updated graphics, and refreshed color options, giving the daily workhorse a sharper visual profile without disturbing its proven functional setup.
Variant Breakdown and Price Structure
The 2026 TVS Radeon lineup starts at an ex-showroom price of Rs 67,100 for the base model. To cater to riders seeking digital instrumentation and premium braking hardware, the brand has structured the range into three distinct variants. The mid-spec Digi trim has been positioned at Rs 70,100 ex-showroom, while the range-topping Digi Disc variant carrying a front disc brake is priced at Rs 73,100 (ex-showroom). These pricing tiers place the motorcycle right in the crosshairs of value-oriented daily commuters.
Design Refresh, Lighting, and Color Choices
While the overall silhouette and structural frame of the Radeon remain consistent with the outgoing version, subtle cosmetic enhancements make the bike appear noticeably more modern. Up front, it receives a new LED headlamp flanked by an integrated daytime running light (DRL) shaped like viper fangs, imparting an athletic look to the fascia. At the rear, the LED tail lamp now incorporates six distinct vertical lighting elements. TVS has also fitted modern LED turn indicators on both sides, sharing visual elements seen on the brand's premium Apache RTR, RR, and RTX motorcycle lines.
Complementing the new illumination package are updated graphics and fresh color accents on the headlamp cowl, fuel tank, and side body panels. In terms of paint schemes, the base trim comes in Black and Red as well as Black and Blue finishes. The Digi Drum variant offers choices of Black and Red along with Black and Orange, while the Digi Disc model is available in Black and Orange. Furthermore, the dual-tone Red and Black DT colorway continues to be offered across both Digi trims, offering broader styling variety against competitors from Hero, Honda, and Bajaj.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy, and Practical Features
Mechanically, the 2026 model retains the tried-and-tested 109.7 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This motor delivers 8.08 bhp of power and 8.7 Nm of peak torque, paired with a standard four-speed transmission. Efficiency remains a key selling point for daily travel, with the motorcycle returning approximately 63 kilometers per liter. Because the updates are primarily styling-focused, the underlying mechanical attributes and core feature set carry forward unchanged.
For city commutes and traffic navigation, the motorcycle continues to offer Glide Through Technology (GTT), Synchronized Braking Technology, and Self-Radeon start functionality. Ride comfort is managed by rear twin shock absorbers equipped with 5-step preload adjustability. Practical commuter necessities such as the long single-piece cushioned seat, rear luggage rack, crash guards, and 18-inch alloy wheels have been preserved, ensuring dependability across everyday riding conditions.
