by

In the last ten years, the Indian scooter market has witnessed a dramatic rise. A paradigm shift can be seen from the traditional commuter motorcycle to a scooter offering comfort in style.

In this scenario, TVS Ntorq 125 seems to emerge as a winner especially among the young riders and urban commuters. Launched in 2018, the Ntorq 125 TVS has taken the entire 125cc scooter space to a new level as this scooter can be described as a great combination of sporty design, high-end features, and peppy performance.

What makes the TVS Ntorq 125 different?

Not only is its performance but the integration of cutting-edge technology in this sleek scooter that has made it really stand out from its competition. Its connectivity system, called SmartXonnect, youthful design, and excellent performance have made the Ntorq a synonym with smart commuting in India.

Exploring the Design, Features, Performance, Market Impact, and Influence of How the TVS Ntorq 125 Remains One of the Top Choices in the 125cc Scooter Segment.

Sporty and Eye-Catching Design –

TVS Ntorq 125 is that kind of scooter that steals glances. There’s a design feature based on sharp lines and angular structure that was made to be sporty for the youth. This kind of aggressive and bold look is inspired by stealth aircraft, and it gives this scooter an unparalleled look compared to any scooter, while at the same time it grants it a distinctive road presence with which to differentiate its product from rivals that have a more traditional look.

The front apron is aggressive, sharp LED daytime running lights, and this makes up a sculpted front panel. It comes mated with a powerful LED headlamp that throws light in any direction in low-light conditions, but the turn indicators are smart and well-placed in the lines of the motorcycle. Split grab rails, edgy tail section, and 3D Ntorq logo add to this premium feel.

The color palette of the TVS Ntorq 125 varies with several bright and eye-catching colors available, like Racing Red, Yellow, and Matte Black, to appeal to different tastes and preferences. TVS further approached young, adventurous riders who’d love their scooter to reflect the personality with special editions that featured likes of Race Edition and Super Squad Edition -inspired Marvel superheroes.

Engine and Performance: Built for Speed and Agility –

Well, and as you can obviously expect the heart of this baby is driven by a potent 124.8cc single cylinder, air-cooled, three-valve engine. Tuned to give strong performance and still good fuel efficiency, it makes the Ntorq perfect for city commuting and the odd longer ride.

The 9.25 bhp at 7,000 rpm and 10.5 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm slots this engine among the most powerful scooters in the 125cc category. Brisk acceleration characterized the Ntorq, and it tops out to about 95 km/h for its category-it is impressive. This performance-oriented factor makes the Ntorq a thrill for those who want a bit of a rush on their daily commute.

Equipped with a CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission), TVS has ensured that the Ntorq delivers smooth power. Whether navigating city traffic or cruising on open roads, the Ntorq feels refined and responsive, with little to no lag in acceleration.

Handling and Ride Quality –

The TVS Ntorq 125 has much more than just the top-end speed. It delivers good handling and ride quality as well. Suspension of the scooter is ensured by Telescopic front forks and Gas-charged Rear monoshock suspension at smooth riding even on the bumpy roads. With all gear-housing 12-inch alloy wheels, the scooter further gets tubeless tyres ensuring good grip and stability on all types of roads.

With its kerb weight of 118 kg, the Ntorq was relatively light and very easy to maneuver around traffic and tight corners. A low center of gravity and a well-tuned suspension setup made the scooter agile and confident while negotiating sharp turns on crowed streets.

The braking system of TVS Ntorq 125 is just nothing less than phenomenal. There’s a 220mm front disc brake available in the top variants and a 130mm drum brake at the back. More than that, TVS has equipped the Ntorq with CBS or Combi-Brake System that ensures better control of braking and safety by evenly distributing the brake force between the front and rear wheels.

SmartXonnect: The Game-Changing Technology –

One of the prominent features for this scooter in its category is SmartXonnectTM technology used in the TVS Ntorq 125. Using SmartXonnectTM technology, this scooter connects to the smartphone through the **TVS Connect app**, and thus provides a set of smart features that prove quite useful on the go.

SmartXonnect allows riders to access turn-by-turn navigation, which also can be reflected on the scooter’s fully digital instrument cluster. It will be of immense value to the urban rider, who often needs to navigate unfamiliar territories rather than keep in touch with his phone all the time.

The instrument cluster itself is stuffed with information it displays such as speed, fuel level, odometer, trip meter, engine temperature, average speed, and much more. And riders can have call and SMS notifications directly shown on the display, without having to take their attention off the road.

Another special feature is the last parked location, which will help riders to find a scooter in busy parking lots. It also provides several statistics for a ride: average speed, distance covered, and maximum speed so that riders can analyze and improve their riding habits.

This connectivity level is unprecedented in scooters. This place, TVS has given to Ntorq as one of the most technologically advanced scooters in India with SmartXonnect.

Fuel Efficiency and Practicality –

Despite its performance-oriented attitude, the TVS Ntorq 125 does well for its fuel efficiency. The scooter returns between **45-50 km/l** in average mileage, given the condition of ride. This way, it is a perfect every-day commuter, balancing both fuel cost and performance.

The tank capacity is a respectable 5.8 liters. It’s enough to take one through city touring without constant refuelling. Rider convenience has also been augmented with features like pass switch, external fuel filler cap and under-seat storage with light.

Storage is talked about, and decent under-seat space has provided storage for a half-face helmet. A USB charging port allows one to keep charging his or her phone on the move; it is these little things that add up to Ntorq becoming the perfect scooter for day-to-day travelling as well as weekend getaways.

Competitors: How Does the TVS Ntorq 125 Stack Up?

Competitively Speaking, the 125cc scooter division in India is a lot more easily dominated and shared by several power brands. Ntorq 125 competes stiffly against major brands such as its competitor:

1. Honda Grazia 125: Heavily Praised for its Refinement and Reliability, this one finds its strength in this sector of space. The Ntorq takes an edge over it in features and sportiness, but Grazia’s strong suit is for a refined and not-so-longed-for, more subtle appearance.

2. Suzuki Access 125: Among the best-selling scooter in this category, the Access 125 has its top position in sales credited to a great distance efficiency and its comfort levels. The Ntorq here is superior in terms of performance and by way of added technologies. However the Access continues to attract serious consideration by those making mileage and dependability the priorities.

3. Yamaha RayZR 125: RayZR 125 is the sportiest version and the lightest chassis, which gives a serious fight against Ntorq, especially to riders looking for agility and style. But superior performance and SmartXonnect of Ntorq makes its big mark in the urban commuter segment.

4. Aprilia SR 125: Premium appeal and sporty performance, Aprilia SR 125 is a direct competitor of Ntorq in terms of performance, though the Ntorq has far more to offer with practicality and features that make it a much better-rounded unit for practical riding.

Pricing and Market Positioning –

The TVS Ntorq 125 will be priced between ₹80,000 to ₹90,000 (ex-showroom), depending upon the variant, which puts it as a premium product in the scooter segment for 125cc. “It is made for those who are willing to pay a little more for performance, for features, and for technology, and thus quite frankly, it is in that bracket.”.

The Ntorq 125 has had further successes in popularity with this version. Since the beginning of its launch, TVS has come up with various models such as Race Edition, Super Squad Edition, and the common version. This helped the company reach out to a larger customer category with a sporty scooter ideal for young riders while the practicality made it desirable for mature riders.

Conclusion : A Winning Formula for TVS –
