      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review – King Of Features and Equipment

      by

      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride ReviewTVS has launhed the new Ntorq 150. It is TVS’ most ambitious ICE scooter launch to date. We experienced it at TVS’ Hosur facility in Tamil Nadu for around a day. We got to know about the features and equipment it has to offer and how it performs on straight lines and on the curves at TVS’ handling track. As a package, TVS Ntorq 150 has a lot going for it and let’s unpack everything.
      TVS Ntorq 150 Colours
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Ntorq 125 was already a fan favourite and it is hailed as the creator of sporty scooter genre. Now, TVS is upping the game with Ntorq 150 and it is much more of what Ntorq 125 ever aimed to be. TVS is asking Rs 1.19 lakh for base variant and Rs 1.29 lakh for top-spec TFT variant of Ntorq 150 (Ex-sh). There are four colour variants – Turbo Blue, Stealth Silver, Racing Red and Nitro Green.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Design inspiration for Ntorq 150 is Graphite Concept on which Ntorq 125 was also based. There’s a lot going on with the design of Ntorq 150 and it is not at all subtle. Instead of writing a thousand words about its design, I’ll let pictures do the talking. There’s just too much design to explain in words. I just wished it was a little subtler. I’m sure a lot of people out there would love the design of this scooter, though. It is subjective.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      This scooter’s notable design elements are quad-projector LED headlight setup, new stylish LED DRLs on the scooter’s apron that double up as turn indicators, new T insignia on LED tail lights, painted 12-inch alloy wheels, aero winglets at the front to add downforce, a stubby exhaust, split grab rails, street-style handlebar, 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, fancy switchgear and more.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Unlike the rumours, Ntorq 150 continues to be a step-through scooter, unlike its rivals like Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160. So, it has a flat floorboard and all the practicality it brings with it. To make good use of space, TVS has added a glove compartment and a retractable hook. Underseat storage is 22L and it has a USB Type-A port, but it seems to be missing a boot light. It has enough space to accommodate half-face and smaller full-face helmets only.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Components & Equipment
      Biggest surprise with TVS Ntorq 150 is that this sporty scooter still continues with 12-inch wheels at both ends wrapped with 100-section front and 110-section rear Remora tyres. When asked about it, the company explained that larger wheels come with larger diameter for tyres and it would not have allowed them to achieve the higher top speed they were trying to achieve as larger tyres get less rotational cycles.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Another conscious choice with Ntorq 150 is the shorter wheelbase of 1,285 mm, which is the same as Ntorq 125. This is a decision I welcome with open arms as it allows impeccable handling characteristics (more on it later). Other than that, TVS Ntorq 150 comes with telescopic front forks, single-sided mono-shock rear suspension, disc brake at the front (petal type) with single-channel ABS, rear drum setup with parking brake feature and more.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      For the first time on an ICE TVS scooter, we get a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster which is loaded to the brim with features. This is easily the most feature-loaded ICE scooter on sale in India, hands down. Not a single rival can even come close to the level of equipment TVS Ntorq 150 is offering. It even has a 4G eSIM embedded in it for a host of connected telematics features. This screen has day and night themes along with adaptive brightness.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Notable features include top-speed recorder, 0-60 km/h timer, Alexa integration, smartwatch integration (Android & Apple), crash alert, live vehicle tracking, last parked location, sports and weather updates, social media notifications and more. With a stable Bluetooth connection, music control, call and SMS alerts, accept and reject calls along with turn-by-turn navigation features are available.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      To control this TFT display and its plethora of functions, Ntorq 150 comes with improved switchgear with 4-way navigation buttons on the left. Also, both brake levers are adjustable for reach, aiding comfort. These buttons also allow rider to cycle between Ride Modes. There are two of them – Street and Race. Street Mode aims at increased fuel efficiency as it comes with engine start / start feature, while Race Mode unlocks TVS’ iGO Assist feature.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Performance & Dynamics
      Main highlight of TVS Ntorq 150 is its new beating heart. This is a 149.7 cc single-cylinder SOHC 3V/cyl air cooled unit that is capable of generating 13 bhp of peak power at 7,000 RPM and 14.2 Nm of peak torque at 5,500 RPM. In typical Ntorq fashion, exhaust note has a lot of bass, but the overall vibrations could have been better. Especially at idling, we found that there were more than acceptable levels of vibration and harshness.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      These vibrations do smoothen out once you get going, though. There’s a lot of grunt from this engine and it is eager to rev higher. TVS claims a 0-60 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 104 km/h top speed. At TVS’ Hosur track, we could only manage to get it till 99 km/h (speedo indicated). Major contributor to this performance is its weight, or the lack thereof. Ntorq 150 only weighs 115 kg, which is less than a few 125cc scooters on sale in India today.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      While the design of Ntorq 150 is subjective, everyone can objectively and unanimously agree that it has excellent ride dynamics. Sure, we only rode it around TVS’ testing facility in Hosur and not on public roads, but we can’t ignore the fact that Ntorq 150 is a fantastic handler. I’m not much of a corner carver, but I ended up pushing this scooter around corners more than I would generally have. I even scraped the scooter’s exhaust and side body panels multiple times while cornering.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      That is because Ntorq 150 instills that confidence in me to push harder and carry more speed than I normally would. The chassis is very communicative and steering provides excellent feedback. All this from 110-section front and 120-section rear tyres wrapped on 12-inch is rather commendable. This setup makes me curious as to how it would handle on a 14-inch wheel wrapped with 140-section tyres.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Braking setup is impressive too as it gets traction control and single-channel ABS. Front brakes have a sharp bite, which is more than average for this segment and front wheel did not lock even during deliberate panic braking.
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      Some Reservations & Conclusion
      As it stands, TVS Ntorq 150 is the most feature-loaded and equipped ICE scooter India has ever seen. However, it does miss a few features here and there that could have made it down-right perfect. These include:
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      1. Keyless Go – This is one feature missing in Ntorq 150 which makes its presence known.2. Self-canceling Indicators – It is baffling that this industry is actively omitting self-canceling turn indicators in their vehicles, which used to be offered in the past with vehicles half the price.3. Knuckle Guards – This sporty scooter deserves to get knuckle guards as standard, but it doesn’t.4. We wish TVS had moved fuel tank in the floorboard like on Jupiter to carve out cavernous under-seat storage.5. While TVS says 12-inch wheels were a conscious choice, we think 14-inch wheels will be better for Indian roads. (Opinion of a person who owns scooters with 10-inch, 12-inch and 14-inch wheels).
      TVS Ntorq 150 First Ride Review
      These reservations can easily be termed as nitpicking as TVS Ntorq 150 literally is the best-equipped ICE scooter ever sold in India. My biggest reservation with Ntorq 150 is that I wished it had a little subtler design than what it flaunts. Keeping my subjective opinions aside, Ntorq 150 should be your obvious choice if you’re in the market for an aggressive-looking scooter with the best equipment on offer in India.

      TVS Ntorq 150 vs Rivals Compared – SR 175, Xoom 160, Aerox 155

      by

      TVS Ntorq 150 vs RivalsAfter the launch of Orbiter EV, TVS has now launched a highly anticipated ICE scooter in India. We’re talking about the Ntorq 150, which is the fastest, sportiest and most aggressive Ntorq TVS has ever sold. This sporty high-displacement scooter will lock horns with other sporty high-displacement scooters.
      For the sake of this comparison, we have included Aprilia SR 175, Hero Xoom 160 and Yamaha Aerox 155. Aprilia SXR 160 is not included in this list as it is likely to be updated with the newer 175cc engine soon. We have compared engine specs, key dimensions, features and equipment offered by all these scooters and see where Ntorq 150 falls on paper.
      New TVS Ntorq 150
      Ntorq 150 vs Rivals
      Since these are sporty and high-performance scooters, we have to start with engine parameters. Ntorq 150 comes with an air-cooled SOHC 3V/cyl engine with 13 bhp and 14.2 Nm. It holds up quite well against Aprilia SR 175, considering the displacement difference. However, Xoom 160 and Aerox 155 come with liquid-cooling technology.
      Xoom cranks out 14.6 bhp and Aerox 14.79 bhp. Aerox has the least torque at 13.9 Nm, followed by Xoom at 14 Nm, SR at 14.14 Nm and highest is Ntorq 150 at 14.2 Nm. Ntorq 150 is the only one with Ride Modes (Street, Race). Only the SR 175 lacks engine start / stop feature to save fuel.
      TVS Ntorq 150 vs Rivals
      Dimensions & Components
      SR 175 has the longest wheelbase at 1,365 mm, followed by Aerox, Xoom and Ntorq 150 has the shortest wheelbase. This and the 12-inch alloy wheels was a conscious decision by TVS to retain Ntorq’s handling characteristics. All other scooters come with 14-inch alloy wheels in this comparison favouring plusher ride quality.
      Ground clearance is lowest with Aerox at 145 mm, while all other scooters come with 155 mm. Aerox has the highest seat height and Ntorq lowest. Kerb weight is the lowest with Ntorq 150 and highest with Xoom 160 which falls in motorcycle territory at 142 kg. Fuel tank is the largest with Xoom 160 at 7L and only the SR 175 comes with an internal fuel filler cap.
      Hero Xoom 160
      Front disc and rear drum along with single-channel ABS is common in this segment. However, only Aerox and Ntorq get traction control. Only Aerox and Xoom get rear dual shock absorbers, halogen turn indicators and keyless go feature. While all scooters get Bluetooth connectivity, Aerox 155 misses out on useful features like navigation.
      Features
      Ntorq 150 takes the features game to a new level as it gets 4G eSim feature unlocking a host of telematics features including Alexa integration, smartwatch integration, voice control, panic braking and a lot more. It has to be noted that Ntorq 150 and SR 175 get 5-inch TFT instrument clusters, while Xoom 160 and Aerox get LCD units.
      2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Version S
      Yamaha Aerox 155 comes out as the most expensive scooter on this list, while Hero Xoom 160 is trailing behind by a small margin. Aprilia SR 175 is priced at Rs 1.26 lakh and Ntorq 150 starts from Rs 1.19 lakh, undercutting them all. All scooters bring unique elements of their own and compete at the highest level to attract prospective buyers.

      TVS Ntorq 150 Launch Price Rs 1.19 L – 13 bhp, 14.2 Nm, 104 km/h Top Speed

      by

      New TVS Ntorq 150Expanding the Ntorq nameplate, TVS Motor has just launched Ntorq 150 in the country. Essentially, Ntorq 150 is now the most powerful and sportiest TVS ICE scooter ever made. This is likely to sit well with performance enthusiasts in India who are contemplating between performance of a motorcycle and versatility and practicality of a scooter.
      Apart from the performance, TVS Ntorq 150 aims to be a tech fest which is likely to sit well with evolving aspirations and needs of daily commuters in India. It is an extension of Ntorq 125 and features a new design, revamped performance and added features and equipment.
      New TVS Ntorq 150 Launch Price
      TVS Ntorq 150 Launch
      Without a single test mule spy shot incident, TVS Motor has launched Ntorq 150. Starting price for this sporty scooter is Rs 1.19 lakh (Ex-sh) while the TFT variant has been priced at Rs 1.29 lakh (Ex-sh). There are two variants on offer, spread across four colourways – Turbo Blue, Stealth Silver, Racing Red and Nitro Green.
      New TVS Ntorq 150 Colours
      The main highlight of this scooter is its beating heart, which is a bored out version of Ntorq 125’s engine. It is a single-cylinder, SOHC 3V engine which displaces 149.7cc and is air-cooled. Peak power of this engine is 13 bhp at 7,000 RPM and peak torque is 14.2 Nm at 5,500 RPM. This engine is mated to a CVT gearbox and a ISG for silent starts. Due to the low 115 kg kerb weight, Ntorq 150 could possess segment-best power-to-weight ratio.
      New TVS Ntorq 150
      Higher Perforamnce
      Performance is the mantra here and TVS is promising a 0-60 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds and top speed is pegged at 104 km/h. The 5.8L fuel tank position is under its seat and not in the floorboard with a central spine. So, TVS Ntorq 150 is a step-through scooter which retains all of its practicality and versatility. Also, under-seat storage is 22L. Wheelbase is the same as Ntorq 125.
      New TVS Ntorq 150
      The company is offering two ride modes with Ntorq 150 – Street and Race. There’s also iGO Assist which acts in Race Mode and a stop/start system which acts in Street Mode. Other notable elements include:
      New TVS Ntorq 150
      – Front disc brake– Single-channel ABS– Traction control system– Adjustable brake levers– Coloured 12-inch alloy wheels– Parking brakes– Panic braking– Engine kill switch– Telescopic front forks– Single-sided mono-shock rear suspension
      New TVS Ntorq 150 5″ TFT Cluster
      Sporty Design
      Apart from the specs, Ntorq 150 gets a sportier and much more aggressive design. The primary attraction is the quad projector LED headlight setup which is positioned quite high when compared to Ntorq 125’s. There’s a new T insignia in Ntorq 150’s tail lights. Turn indicators are LEDs with hazard light and panic braking features.
      TVS Ntorq 150
      TVS has added aerodynamic winglets at the front like on Apache RR 310 to add downforce. Switchgear is of 4-way navigation style and there is a front glove compartment along with a hook. TVS Ntorq 150 gets a new 5-inch TFT instrument screen that supports a host of informatics with turn-by-turn navigation, music control, adaptive brightness, 4G eSim connectivity for telematics, Alexa integration, smartwatch integration, weather and sports updates, OTA updates and more.

This was a volume increase of 359 units when compared to 24,779 units in August 2024.

      TVS Apache RTR 310 New ModelNew product launches in the company lineup are set to boost sales in the coming months
      Building on its positive momentum, TVS Motor Company recorded strong sales growth in July 2025. Two wheeler domestic sales stood at 3,08,720 units, up by 21.42% from 2,54,250 unit sales of July 2024. The company also ended its MoM performance on a positive note. It was a 9.86% improvement from 2,81,012 units sold in June 2025.
      In addition to robust sales, the two wheeler maker was a leader in the electric 2W segment, a position it has retained for the four consecutive months. There were also a number of new launches last month. TVS introduced the new Apache RTR 310 and Ntorq 125 Super Soldier Edition. TVS Norton V4 was spotted during test runs in UK markets. Earlier this week, there was the new TVS Orbiter, the third electric scooter launched. This e-scooter has been priced at Rs. 99,900.
      TVS Sales Breakup July 2025
      Turning to individual model performance, TVS Jupiter topped sales charts once again with 1,24,876 units sold last month. This was a 67.25% YoY growth from 74,663 units sold in July 2024. MoM sales also ended on a positive note with 15.65% higher sales figures over 1,07,980 unit sales of June 2025. The Jupiter currently commands a 40.45% share in the company portfolio.
      TVS Sales Breakup July 2025 – YoY
      At No. 2 was TVS Apache. Sales improved strongly on a YoY basis by 22.44% to 37,566 units, well over 30,681 unit sales of July 2024. Sales however declined by 9.23% when compared to 41,386 units sold in June 2025. There were also lower sales recorded for the XL moped by 9.51% YoY to 33,991 units while its MoM sales were marginally higher by 1.93% over 33,349 units sold in June 2025.

TVS iQube electric scooter showed off strong demand in the past month. Sales improved to 23,029 units from 21,064 units, marking a 9.33% YoY growth. It was even stronger MoM sales which escalated by 61.68% over 14,244 unit sales of June. The new Orbiter, slotted below the iQube in the company’s electric two wheeler lineup is soon to draw in a fair share of attention, particularly with its affordable pricing, attractive colour options and IDC range of 158km.
      TVS Sport, Radeon, Zest
      TVS Sport, Radeon and Zest have each suffered YoY decline in sales though MoM analysis was more positive.

      TVS Ntorq 150 Launch Date Is 4th September – Aerox, Xoom 160 Rival

      by

      TVS Ntorq 150 TeasedThe sporty 150cc to 160cc scooter segment in India is not exactly over crowded. We currently have three or four contenders in this space and soon, TVS Motor is set to crash this party with Ntorq 150 (name not confirmed). While the test mule sightings and spy shots occurance are zero, TVS is gearing up for a full fledged launch.
      TVS Ntorq 150 Launch Date
      Just after the company launched Orbit electric scooter, TVS Motor has shifted the spotlight on a new ICE scooter. This is not just any other ICE scooter, but the company’s most anticipated and most powerful scooter to date. We’re talking about the soon to launch Ntorq 150 scooter (name not confirmed).
      As confirmed by the company, the most powerful Ntorq scooter is set to launch on September 4th, 2025. This is the first time TVS is venturing into a high displacement scooter segment and is likely to emerge a popular offering owing to already sought-after and celebrated Ntorq brand.
      Not a lot is known about TVS Ntorq 150 and the way it will look. It might take on a maxi-scooter design or a large sporty-format scooter design. The teaser has revealed it’s headlight design which will get a quad-projector LED setup, two for low beam and two for high beam.
      New TVS Scooter Spied
      The headlight setup is likely to be positioned on its apron and not on its handlebar cowl. Falling into the Ntorq brand, design will probably be on the sporty side with a lot of aggression and muscle, attracting young buyers.
      What to expect?
      Powertrain details are completely under the wraps and nothing has been leaked yet. One could speculate that it will displace between 150cc to 160cc and might churn out around 14 bhp to 15 bhp of peak power. Considering the market trends, TVS may go with liquid cooling and extract as much power as they can.
      Hero Xoom 160
      Immediate rivals like Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160 both feature liquid cooled powertrain, while Aprilia continues with an air-cooled setup, but has a higher 175cc displacement. Common between sll three of these sporty scooters is 14-inch alloy wheel platform, something which we hope TVS also implements.

      Where features are concerned, soon to launch TVS Ntorq 150 might pack a TFT instrument cluster with a host of Bluetooth enabled connected features along with navigation, LED lighting all around, disc brakes at both ends, a large under-seat storage enabled by a central spine housing the fuel tank and more.

      TVS Orbiter vs Rivals Compared – Vida, Kinetic, Activa e, Rizta, Chetak

      by

      TVS Orbiter EVTVS has been a long standing champion in the family format electric scooter with iQube and its three trim levels. However, there has been a lot of activity in this segment and TVS needed something to hold its position in this segment and further increase market share. That’s where TVS Orbiter comes into action.
      Orbiter is still a family format scooter aiming to offer all the practicality in the world, but it manages to establish a unique identity of its own, without being overshadowed by iQube. Spec-to-spec, TVS Orbiter is positioned below iQube in the company’s lineup. We compared it with similar family format scooters to see how Orbiter fares against competition on paper.
      TVS Orbiter vs Rivals Compared – Features
      Like Orbiter is to iQube, we compiled a comparison post of affordable electric scooters including Vida VX2, Honda QC1, Ather Rizta and Chetak 3001, while Kinetic has just popped up. One thing we loved about TVS Orbiter is that there are no hidden ‘Pack’ that usually embodies all the advertised features and gizmos.
      TVS Orbiter vs Rivals – Features
      There are no variants too and all advertised features are offered as standard. Because not all OEMs follow a common practice showing prices on their websites, it is all over the place and we will let the table do the talking. Only the Orbiter, QC1 and Chetak 3001 come with drum brakes at both ends, while others offer at least front disc brake.
      Other than QC1 with 12” front and 10” rear wheel size, this segment offers 12” alloy wheels at both ends. TVS Orbiter stands out in this segment with 14” front and 12” rear combination giving it a commanding road presence. Orbiter’s underseat storage is par for this segment at 34L, while Kinetic DX offers the largest 37L boot and QC1, the smallest at 26L.
      All vehicles here offer LED headlights, tail lights and DRLs, while QC1 lacks DRLs. A touchscreen instrument cluster is not a thing in this segment, but Vida and Rizta offer TFT clusters, depending on variants. Orbiter gets a LCD cluster, but it is rich on informatics and features like Bluetooth and navigation along with a host of connected tech enabled by SmartXonnect app. QC1’s cluster is the least appealing here with no real features to boast.
      Only Vida VX2 offers a pillion backrest, while only the Kinetic DX offers keyless go, a speaker and a concealed charger. Cruise control is only seen with TVS Orbiter and Kinetic DX.
      TVS Orbiter vs Rivals – Specs
      Specs & Dimensions
      TVS Orbiter comes equipped with a 3.1 kWh battery pack which promises a range of 158 km on a single charge. Which is impressive considering Rizta promises 159 km range from a 3.7 kWh battery pack. Other than that, Honda QC1 has by far the least range of just 80 km from its smallest (in this comparo) 1.5 kWh battery pack. VX2 promises up to 142 km and Chetak 3001 up to 127 km.
      On paper, Vida VX2 has the highest power at 6 kW, followed by 4.8 kW from Kinetic DX, 4.3 kW of Rizta and then comes 2.5 kW of Orbiter’s hub mounted motor. Even where top speed is concerned, Orbiter can go till 68 km/h, while DX can touch 90 km/h and Vida and Ather offering 80 km/h top speed. Chetak 3001 has 63 km/h and Honda QC1 just 50 km/h.
      TVS Orbiter vs Rivals – Dimensions
      Because of its larger 14-inch front wheel, TVS Orbiter has the highest ground clearance in this comparison (out of the ones disclosed) at 169 mm. Where weight is concerned, TVS Orbiter weighs 112 kg, while VX2 can go as low as 106 kg. Except for Kinetic DX’s 704 mm seat height, Orbiter’s 763 mm seat height is lower than other rivals. More
