Key Differences Explained
What really sets these two bikes apart
Fuel Efficiency & Range
The TVS Sport holds a clear, certified advantage here: its 80 kmpl ARAI rating is one of the highest in the commuter segment, enabled by ETFi fuel injection technology. The Radeon has no published ARAI figure, with owner-reported numbers ranging from 62 to 73.68 km/l. With identical 10-litre tanks, the Sport delivers a longer estimated range of 650–750 km compared to 620–736 km for the Radeon.
Braking & Safety
The Radeon offers a meaningful upgrade path: its top variant (Digi Cluster Edition Disc) comes with a 240 mm front disc brake, unavailable anywhere in the Sport's lineup. Both bikes use CBS as standard. However, both lack ABS — a limitation shared across this entry-level commuter segment. For safety-conscious buyers who can afford the top Radeon variant, the disc brake is a genuine advantage.
Comfort & Rough Roads
The Radeon is purpose-built for comfort and mixed-terrain use. Its 18-inch wheels navigate potholes more smoothly, the 180 mm ground clearance is 5 mm more than the Sport's, and its longer wheelbase (1265 mm vs 1236 mm) improves highway stability. The comfort-oriented long seat also makes pillion riding more pleasant. The Sport, while capable, is more narrowly tuned for city and town use.
Features & Technology
The Radeon wins on features, offering a digital instrument cluster and USB charging on its Digi Cluster variants. The Sport stays fully analogue across all variants — no digital console, no speedometer display beyond a standard needle. USB charging is available on the Sport ES+ variant only. Neither bike offers Bluetooth or any connectivity features, keeping both in the basic-commuter category.
Warranty & Ownership
Both bikes offer an identical 5-year / 60,000 km warranty, so there's nothing to separate them on this front. Running costs also favour the Sport due to better fuel efficiency — at the same daily distances, the Sport will consume meaningfully less fuel. However, the Radeon's wider parts availability and longer service history in India make it equally easy to maintain.
Price & Value
The Sport starts ₹8,000 cheaper at ₹62,143 and tops out at just ₹63,626 — making it the most affordable TVS two-wheeler in this comparison. The Radeon starts at ₹70,143 and climbs to ₹80,881 for the disc-brake variant. The Sport offers exceptional value if mileage and low cost are your priorities. The Radeon costs more but delivers more — a disc option, digital console, larger wheels, and better comfort.
Expert Verdict
Which one should you actually buy?
Buy the TVS Radeon if…
- You want a disc brake option for better stopping power
- A digital console for a more modern cockpit experience
- You regularly ride on rough, uneven, or rural roads
- 18-inch wheels and 180 mm ground clearance matter to you
- Pillion comfort is a priority on daily commutes
- You want 4 variants to match your exact budget and needs
- Slightly higher budget is acceptable for more features
Buy the TVS Sport if…
- Maximum fuel efficiency is your single biggest priority
- You want the lowest purchase price — starting at ₹62,143
- Daily running costs and minimising fuel spend matter most
- Your riding is primarily on city streets and good roads
- Lightweight handling (112 kg) for easy daily use
- You don't need a disc brake or digital console
- Simple, proven, no-frills commuting is the goal
Overall Winner for Most Riders: TVS Radeon. While the TVS Sport is exceptional on fuel efficiency and price, the TVS Radeon offers more for the money when you factor in the disc brake upgrade path, digital console, 18-inch wheels, better ground clearance, comfort ergonomics, and a wider variant range. The ₹8,000 difference at the base level is relatively small and buys meaningfully more practicality. Choose the TVS Sport only if absolute lowest price and best-in-class ARAI mileage figure are your only criteria.

Common questions answered by our experts
For most buyers, the TVS Radeon is the better choice — it offers a front disc brake on its top variant, a digital console, 18-inch wheels, better ground clearance (180 mm), more comfort, and 4 variants to choose from. The TVS Sport is better if your only priorities are the lowest possible purchase price (₹62,143) and maximum ARAI-certified fuel efficiency (80 kmpl).
The TVS Sport starts at ₹62,143 while the TVS Radeon starts at ₹70,143 ex-showroom — a base difference of ₹8,000. At the top variant level, the gap widens considerably: the Sport tops out at ₹63,626 while the Radeon's Digi Cluster Edition Disc costs ₹80,881 — a difference of ₹17,255. Both prices are India averages and may vary by city.
The TVS Sport has a significantly better ARAI-certified mileage of 80 kmpl. The TVS Radeon does not publish an official ARAI figure; owner-reported mileage ranges from 62 to 73.68 km/l. Both bikes have identical 10-litre tanks, but the Sport's higher efficiency gives it a longer estimated riding range of approximately 650–750 km per fill.
Yes, the TVS Radeon offers a front disc brake (240 mm) on its top-end Digi Cluster Edition Disc variant priced at ₹80,881. The three lower variants use drum brakes. The TVS Sport does not offer a disc brake on any of its variants — all configurations use drum brakes with CBS only.
Both the TVS Radeon and TVS Sport offer the same standard warranty of 5 years or 60,000 km — making this an exact tie. Both also use the same engine platform, share TVS's wide service network across India, and have affordable spare parts, so ownership experience is comparable for both bikes.
The TVS Radeon is better suited for rough and rural roads. It has a higher ground clearance of 180 mm versus 175 mm for the Sport, larger 18-inch wheels that handle obstacles and potholes more comfortably, a longer wheelbase (1265 mm vs 1236 mm) for better straight-line stability, and suspension tuned for uneven surfaces. The TVS Sport is more optimised for smooth city and town roads.
