The TVS Radeon continues to have the same plain and simple design as before. There is no change in the design whatsoever although there are a few new colour options on the Special Edition model. There are a few details which add just the right amount of flash to the motorcycle. The brown seat, the champagne gold engine cover and the knee pads on the fuel tank along with the chrome bezel on the headlamp make the bike look stylish.
