TVS just did something that would make your inner comic-book nerd and your inner street racer do a simultaneous fist pump. The TVS Raider Doctor Doom Edition is officially here — the latest drop in the Raider Super Squad Marvel series — and it’s rocking a brand new Spectral Green colourway that looks like it was pulled straight off Doom’s armour in a dark alternate universe.
The price sits at Rs 95,320 (ex-showroom, Delhi), which honestly isn’t bad at all for a 125cc commuter that comes wearing a Marvel costume this menacing.
The Super Squad Edition has already served up some solid Marvel-themed Raider variants, but Doctor Doom brings a darker, more sinister palette to the table. Spectral Green isn’t your typical flashy lime — it’s deeper, more brooding, and absolutely turns heads without screaming for attention. Think less neon, more supervillain-chic.
The graphics and detailing are themed around the iconic Marvel antagonist, making this one of the sharper-looking 125cc machines on Indian roads right now. TVS has consistently punched above its weight with these special editions, and the Raider platform gives them a solid canvas to work with — the bike already has a sporty, aggressive silhouette that suits this kind of treatment far better than a conventional commuter would.
If you’re picking this up for the first time, don’t let the Marvel branding fool you into thinking it’s all show. The Raider 125 is genuinely a well-sorted machine. The 124.8cc single-cylinder engine with oil cooling delivers smooth, punchy performance for city riding and short highway stretches. It’s got a 5-speed gearbox, decent ergonomics for a 125, and TVS’s build quality backing it up.
For college riders, city commuters, or folks who want a second bike that doesn’t look boring in the parking lot — this hits the brief pretty well.
TVS’s ongoing Marvel tie-up has been a genuinely smart move. It pulls in younger buyers who connect with the IP, while still delivering a machine that can be evaluated purely on its riding merit. Doctor Doom, as a character choice, is particularly interesting — he’s not a clean-cut hero, he’s complex, powerful, and dripping in style. That energy translates surprisingly well to a motorcycle.
Expect this one to move quickly among collectors and enthusiasts who’ve been following the Super Squad series. Limited-edition colourways like these tend to disappear from showrooms before you get a second chance to think about it.
If you’re in the market for a 125cc that stands apart from the sea of identical commuters, the Doctor Doom Edition gives you genuine road presence without asking for a premium you’d regret. Under a lakh, Marvel IP, and a green colourway that looks nothing like anything else at the traffic light — it’s a solid proposition.
Walk into your TVS dealership soon though. Villain-themed bikes don’t wait around for the indecisive.
