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

    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.
    Yamaha Aerox 155
    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

    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

These additions follow the earlier Iron Man and Black Panther-inspired Raider editions introduced in 2023, making Raider the first motorcycle in India to roll out Marvel-themed variants. TVS says these designs are tailored for young riders who want their motorcycles to reflect both individuality and attitude.
    TVS Raider Wolverine Edition
    Under the skin, the TVS Raider SSE continues with the tried-and-tested 124.8cc, 3-valve engine producing best-in-class torque of 11.75 Nm @ 6,000 RPM, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. The bike is now equipped with iGO Assist with Boost Mode, which provides a burst of acceleration, and GTT (Glide Through Technology) that enhances low-speed rideability and fuel efficiency.
    The Raider SSE comes with a fully connected reverse LCD cluster offering over 85 features, aimed at keeping tech-savvy riders engaged. Features include ride data analytics, navigation assistance, call/SMS alerts, and more — ensuring that functionality complements the sporty character.

    New TVS Electric Scooter Launch on 28th Aug – Orbiter Could Be the Name

    New TVS Electric Scooter
    TVS Motor is gearing up to launch an all-new electric scooter in India on 28th August 2025. Ahead of the official debut, the company has released a teaser with the caption “Get ready for an electrifying ride”, confirming that the upcoming model will indeed be an EV.
    New TVS Electric Scooter
    Recently, leaked design sketches from Indonesia had given a glimpse of what could be TVS’s next electric scooter. The design language shows a sporty and futuristic stance with sharp LED lighting elements. At the front, it gets sleek horizontal LED DRLs along with LED turn indicators, while the main headlamp unit is positioned on the handlebar cowl. A tall windscreen adds to its touring-oriented styling.
    New TVS Electric Scooter
    The scooter features slim body panels with a prominent design element running from the apron through the floorboard, possibly housing the battery pack. At the rear, it sports a split grab rail, LED tail lamps, and a tidy tail section. Other notable design highlights include a small glovebox with charging port, dual rear shock absorbers, and wheels that appear to be 14-inch at the front and 12-inch at the rear.
    Speculation also suggests that the scooter could be powered by a mid-mounted motor, offering better balance and performance compared to hub-mounted setups. With TVS already offering the iQube, this new model is expected to be positioned lower in the lineup, targeting customers looking for a more affordable EV option.
    New TVS Electric Scooter – Orbiter
    Adding weight to the speculation, TVS has trademarked a new name – “Orbiter” – which could likely be the official name of this upcoming scooter. If true, the Orbiter will join TVS’s expanding electric mobility portfolio and strengthen its position in India’s fast-growing EV two-wheeler segment.
    With the teaser now live, all eyes are set on 28th August, when TVS will reveal full details of its latest electric scooter, including specifications, range, features, and pricing. More

    While Hero MotoCorp holds a dominant position in the 100cc motorcycle segment, it has yet to achieve similar success in the 125cc category. Things could change with the all-new Glamour X, positioned as India’s most futuristic 125cc motorcycle. Let’s compare the new Hero Glamour X vs. primary rival TVS Raider to understand how they stack up in terms of features, performance and value.
    Segment-first features, tech kit

New Glamour X also comes with 1st-in-segment ride modes of Eco, Road and Power. Another segment-first feature is the panic brake alert, which activates the winker when the user brakes hard. This improves safety, as other road users get a clear message.
    New Hero Glamour X vs TVS Raider

Another key USP is a 4.2-inch multi-colour fully digital LCD instrument cluster with 60+ functions. It includes Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, adaptive brightness, fuel efficiency and range to empty. Also, call/SMS alerts, gear indicator and advisory, ride mode selection and cruise control indicator. A Type-C USB charging port has also been provided.

Both bikes have kick start in addition to the self-start switch. The kickstart was recently introduced with TVS Raider with the 2025 model and is available with only the base variants.
    Performance, specs, pricing

    TVS Ntorq 150 Teased Ahead Of Sep 1st Unveil – New Design, Features?

    TVS Ntorq 150 TeasedTVS Motor is credited with the creation of a sporty scooter segment in India within 125cc displacement category. The company did this with Ntorq 125 which held its crown in this sporty 125cc scooter segment for around 7 years. Now, TVS is upping the game with a new Ntorq 150 (name not confirmed), which has been teased for the first time ahead of official unveil.
    TVS Ntorq 150 Teased
    Ntorq 125 was launched way back in 2018 and has ruled the sporty 125cc space for a long time. There has been multiple updates to this scooter in terms of facelifts with improved features list and other paraphernalia. TVS even infused some fun into the mix as it launched Super Squad Editions in collaboration with Marvel.
    Now, TVS is upping the game in sporty scooter segment with the launch of a larger Ntorq, which is teased for the first time. In true TVS fashion, not a lot is known about this upcoming scooter, which will be unveiled on September 1st 2025. Word on the streets is that TVS will launch a 150cc Ntorq to rival Yamaha’s Aerox 155, Aprilia SR175 and soon to launch Hero Xoom 160.
    Where design is concerned, soon to launch TVS Ntorq 150 is still under the wraps. Only headlight design is revealed in TVS’ latest teaser. Speaking of, there seems to be a quad-projector LED headlight setup on this scooter. Two, for low beam and two for high beam, we suppose.
    New TVS Scooter Spied – Is this Ntorq 150?
    What to expect?
    These headlights are likely to be fixed on front apron, rather than on its handlebar. Where components are concerned, Ntorq 150 could be based on 14-inch alloy wheels at both ends, first TVS scooter to do so. This has become a trend in the recent times as Aerox 155, SR 175, SR 125 and even Xoom 125 offer 14-inch wheels.
    Larger wheels help in plusher and sorted ride dynamics along with a certain level of rough-road ability which smaller wheels cannot achieve. One can even hope for rear disc brake, which has become common in performance electric scooters. We can also expect the same 5-inch TFT instrument screen seen with Raider 125.

    Rumour mill suggests TVS Ntorq 150 will pack around 150cc of displacement with performance metrics of around 12 bhp of peak power and 13 Nm of peak torque, mated to a CVT gearbox. Tag line for this upcoming scooter is ‘Feel The Thrill For Never Before’, suggesting a thrilling performance. Even the exhaust note in this teaser has a bassy tone to it. TVS will unveil it on September 1st and deliveries are likely to commence after some time.
