In addition to the introduction of new colours, TVS Motor Company has revised the price of the Radeon. Priced at INR 48,400* at launch, the commuter motorcycle now retails at INR 50,070*. The Titanium Grey paint has already started to arrive at dealerships, images and a video shared by an IAB reader earlier this week had revealed.

The graphics and styling cues of the TVS Radeon are still the same. Visual highlights include chrome garnish, rubber pads around the fuel tank, 3D TVS logo, 3D Radeon branding on the side panel, champagne gold finish for engine covers, car dashboard-inspired twin-pod instrument console and tan, brown coloured seat with a ribbed pattern.

Engine specifications include a 109.7 cc single cylinder, air-cooled, Duralife engine that makes 8.4 PS at 7,000 rpm and 8.7 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. The motor is paired with a four-speed constant mesh gearbox.

Anchoring department includes drum brakes at the front and back. A disc brake variant may be added in the future. TVS Motor Company's President & CEO, K N Radhakrishnan, had said at the Radeon launch event in August that new variants would come in the future. The safety net includes TVS Motors’ Synchronised Braking Technology (combi-braking system) as standard.

The TVS Radeon rides on telescopic oil damped front forks and 5-step adjustable hydraulic suspension at the back. The motorcycle is only available with alloy wheels that bring the convenience of tubeless tyres. An optional USB charger can be added to the bike to charge up your smartphone or other devices.
