TVS has introduced the new Raider iGO variant in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs 98,389 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

This same feature was recently seen on the TVS Jupiter 110 as well.
TVS Raider iGO: Key Updates
The Raider iGO is powered by a 124.8cc, air-and-oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that generates 11 BHP at 7,500 rpm and 11.75 Nm at 6,000rpm. The iGO variant gains an extra 0.55Nm of torque compared to the standard Raider, accessible only in ‘Boost mode.’ This feature is designed to provide short bursts of acceleration, perfect for urban commutes.
This variant is available exclusively in Nardo Grey and retains the split-seat configuration. It also carries over the LCD instrument cluster from the Raider split-seat variant. TVS claims the iGO variant offers up to 10% better fuel efficiency than other Raider models. For reference, the standard Raider delivers a city-tested mileage of 71.94 kmpl and 65.44 kmpl on highways.
