The TVS Radeon joined our long-term fleet and I was eager to commute to work on the motorcycle and also take it out to run errands. Here’s my impression of the Radeon after riding a few hundred kilometres in and around the city. 

In the traditional sense, it’s a touring scooter. A scooter that you can take on long rides – be it on the highways, over changing terrain, or around some twisties; much like a motorcycle, if you will. But, it is a scooter. And, that means it must also be practical and effortless to ride on a daily basis.

The Xtreme 200R, Hero’s second attempt in the premium motorcycle segment, although with a very modest price tag. In fact, it also holds the title of being the most affordable 200cc motorcycle with an ABS system as standard.

Tiger is possibly one of the strongest words in the world of adventure riding.

Suzuki has launched the V-Strom 650 XT in India to spoil Kawasaki's party. Insofar, the Versys 650 was been the sole member of the middleweight touring segment and has enjoyed being virtually unrivalled.

This is the TVS Radeon. And at first glance, it seems like a throwback to the 90s commuter motorcycle. Actually, one, in particular, the Hero Honda Splendor. So, why do a look-alike when you already have a competent in-house design team? Before we answer that, let's look at the motorcycle in greater detail.
