It had conventional wire-spoked wheels, matt black front forks, red or blue saddle depending on the frame colour and yellow frame pads, and gold-coloured brake calipers and levers.
As per the basic model, the Tuff Burner was available with either red or blue frames, and accompanied by matt black forks, red or blue saddle and frame pads, and gold-coloured brake levers and calipers, the Tuff Burner was distinguished from the basic model by its yellow, Five-spoke Skyway Tuff II 'Mag' (nylon) wheels (Not to be confused with the later inferior "Mag burner" wheels).
Typical UK retail price of the red or blue Tuff Burner in 1982 was £130.
The top-of-the-line model in the years 1982–1983 was the Super Burner, which was distinguished by its apparently gold paintwork (In fact, the bike's frame was chrome plated and then covered with a transparent, gold-tinted film).
In 2019, Raleigh re-released the Super Tuff Burner as a limited edition product, where it retailed at £600.
