TVS Motor Company is known as a leading motorcycle manufacturer in India, offering an extended lineup catering to the needs of almost every Indian. But the one that has caught everyone’s attention the most is the TVS Ntorq 125. The Ntorq 125 offers a variety of variants to suit your needs, including the Race Edition, XT, Race XP, Super Squad, and the standard variant.

If you want to stand out from the sea of mundane scooters available in the market, the Ntorq 125 is undoubtedly your best choice. Being one of the most sporty-looking scooters on the market, it comes with sharp design elements and attractive colour options, which makes it look good. At the front, the T-shaped LED DRLs, LED headlight and sharp nose are very eye-catching. The side profile also boasts sharp lines and cuts, which gives it a sporty and aerodynamic appeal. The graphics on the scooter add to its sporty appeal. At the rear, the faux air vents and LED tail lamp further accentuate the sporty nature of the scooter.

Moving to tech, the Ntorq 125 offers, this is the scooter’s biggest highlight and talking point. While each variant of the Ntorq is offered with industry-leading features, on the XT variant, TVS has gone a step further. The new instrument cluster has a unique twin-digital hybrid screen layout never seen on a mass-oriented scooter before. The revised housing now comes with two rectangular screens, with one TFT screen on the left and one LCD screen on the right. Apart from the standard Bluetooth connectivity, which offers call and SMS alerts and turn-by-turn navigation, the TFT screen alerts the rider about social media notifications, cricket and football scores, food delivery tracking, weather forecasts, and AQI data and ride statistics, including lap timer.

The instrument console is also compatible with a new voice command feature, which can be switched on by long-pressing a switch on the right-hand side. Using this, the rider can give voice commands to the scooter to change the riding modes, operate navigation and adjust the screen’s brightness. The scooter can also alert the rider about low fuel warnings, low phone battery and fuel consumption alerts through this feature. In addition to the revised instrument console, the Ntorq 125 XT also gets the exclusivity of having TVS’ IntelliGo stop-start system in the overall lineup of Ntorq.

The Ntorq 125 has always been a peppy scooter making riding seem a lot of fun and with the Race XP variant, the fun element amplified even more. The moment you twist the throttle, you can feel the performance and the fun. Even in milder Street mode, the Race XP feels noticeably quicker on its feet, and in Race mode, the surge of acceleration certainly brings a smile to your face. Throttle response is crisp, and it’s more than happy to help you quickly seize gaps in traffic. Keep the throttle pinned, and it’ll also get up to reasonable highway speeds in a respectably quick time.

Speaking of comfort, the TVS Ntorq 125 offers large 12-inch wheels on both ends and wide rubbers, resulting in really impressive handling and high-speed stability. The Ntorq sits comfortably at high speeds and will outperform most of its rivals in twisty sections. The scooter also doesn’t compromise on ride quality, and the suspension has a soft and supple feel. Adding to that, the Ntorq also continues to be really spacious. The tall handlebar and low seat height give even riders above 6 feet enough room without putting them in an awkward riding position.

The TVS Ntorq 125 is one of the most appealing and fun-to-ride scooters you can buy. The peppy performance, tech-laden feature list, build quality, and bold styling make it stand out from the crowd of 125cc scooters in the Indian market. Furthermore, you want to focus on performance. In that case, the Race XP is the perfect choice for you, but if technology is what you are after, the XT is the variant to go for. Nothing should stop you from writing a cheque for TVS Motor Company for a Ntorq 125 since it won’t disappoint you.
