The shift light is a bright white circle khổng lồ the side that’s easy lớn see even from one’s peripheral vision.
As for the rest of the bike, it comes in a choice of MotoGP blue, đen or red livery. Overall, the Raider bears a very slim design, ideal for squeezing through traffic.

The marketed as an underbone, the Raider looks & feels more like a small thể thao bike. The weight is the first thing the reminds you of this. Nonetheless it’s still much lighter than a sport bike with the tank in front. The narrow seat và low mounted handlebars dictate a slightly leaned forward position. Tall riders may find this position awkward, though riders of shorter stature might enjoy the more sporty position. There gear shifter on the left has a front and back pedal, which is a welcome feature, allowing the rider to lớn shift up with his heel & avoiding scuffs on his work shoes.
Despite being halfway between a moped and thể thao bike, it’s the ride that convinces you it’s a sport bike through và through. The engine happily revs to lớn a redline of 11,500 rpm. Depending on how the shift light is mix up, it can light up as early as 5,000 rpm or as late as 10,000 rpm. There’s decent torque even in low revs for handling most of the city’s riding demands. Much of the accelerating power, however, comes in at 4,500 rpm.
Despite the skinny tires, the Raider handles well, easily maneuvering between cars and is easy lớn lean with some light countersteer. The brakes bite hard and rather soon, so it pays to lớn be gentle with the levers off the showroom và adjust it lớn your liking later on. The ride is relatively soft despite its sporty aspirations. This makes it great for soaking up most of the city’s bumpy streets. Those that want some stiffer, sportier damping might be a little disappointed.
Come night time, the raider is easy to spot thanks to lớn its full LED headlights and tail lights. They’re relatively small units but illuminate the road pretty well.
Our week with the raider went by very quick. The light but crisp pedals made shifting hardly a chore. There’s good acceleration, very good fuel economy, và sporty handling with a comfortable ride. Though it only had a small 4-liter tank, by the time the week was done, we’ve only consumed half of it, equating to lớn average fuel consumption of around 38 km/L.
The improvements to the Raider R150, may seem few and too little too late for some, particularly those that have made the shift khổng lồ AT scooters. Yet unlike those scooters, the Raider still manages to inject a bit of fun & excitement into the daily commute with its sporty feel.
