When TVS first launched the Ntorq 125 back in 2018, it quickly built a reputation as a fun, sporty scooter that didn’t just get you from A to B but made the ride itself exciting. Now, in 2025, TVS has turned things up a notch with the all-new TVS Ntorq 150. Bigger engine, more power, bolder looks, and a clear aim to take on rivals like the Yamaha Aerox 155.
But the big question: is it really the most fun scooter to ride in India? I spent some time with the Ntorq 150 on TVS’s test track near Bengaluru, and here’s everything you need to know.
A Bigger Heart, A Faster Beat
On paper, the upgrade sounds impressive. The Ntorq 150 gets a 20% bigger engine than the 125, producing 38% more power and 34% more torque. TVS claims 0–60 km/h in just 6.3 seconds and a top speed of around 110 km/h.
On the track, those numbers didn’t feel exaggerated. Cruising at 85–90 felt absolutely stress-free, and even pushing past 100 didn’t make the scooter feel breathless. The engine note still carries that familiar throaty grunt the Ntorq is known for, but refined enough to not get annoying on long rides.
Riding Experience: City and Beyond
The real surprise was how versatile it felt. In city mode, the throttle response is smooth and beginner-friendly. Perfect for daily commutes or for someone upgrading from a smaller scooter. Switch to sport mode, and it transforms—instant torque kicks in, overtakes are effortless, and it feels eager to dash off the line at traffic lights.
The handling remains sharp and nimble, thanks to the familiar 12-inch wheels. To be fair, I was expecting larger 14-inch wheels for better high-speed stability, but even at triple-digit speeds the scooter stayed composed. For city riders, the 12-inch setup probably makes more sense anyway.
Design and Features: Sporty Yet Practical
TVS hasn’t just slapped a bigger engine in the 125’s body. The Ntorq 150 comes with four bold colors—a striking green, blazing red, steel silver, and a deep blue—each with matching alloy wheels. No boring shades here, and the scooter definitely stands out on the road.
Up front, you get the segment’s first projector headlamps, along with DRLs and winglet-inspired design touches. The overall stance feels aggressive without being over the top.
Inside the cockpit, the digital console is loaded with features: riding modes, traction control toggle, Bluetooth connectivity, lap timers in race mode, and even options to customize widgets. There’s also a USB charging port and external fuel filler, making daily use less of a hassle.
Practicality hasn’t been ignored either—under-seat storage will take a half-face helmet or a small backpack, and the ergonomics feel spot-on for both tall and short riders.
Rivals and Positioning
Here’s where it gets interesting. The Ntorq 150 enters the space dominated by performance scooters like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SR 160. Hero’s upcoming Zoom 160 might also join the party soon.
Against the Aerox, the Ntorq feels more accessible—it’s sporty without being intimidating, plus the TVS brand name is already well-trusted in the scooter space. Compared to Aprilia’s offerings, it seems more feature-rich while staying lighter on the pocket.
Pricing is not officially announced yet, but industry whispers suggest the TVS Ntorq 150 price in India could land between ₹1.3–1.4 lakh (ex-showroom). Expect the on-road price in Kolkata and other metros to hover around ₹1.5–1.55 lakh. That’s right in line with the Aerox, but the Ntorq brings its own character to the game.
Comfort and Daily Usability
A sporty scooter is fun, sure—but can you live with it every day? The short answer: yes.
The seat is wide and comfortable for both rider and pillion, mirrors give a clear view without vibration, and adjustable brake levers add a premium touch. Suspension has been tuned slightly firmer than the Ntorq 125, giving it more stability at higher speeds without being harsh in city potholes.
I’m 6 feet tall and found the ergonomics natural, while my shorter friend (5’6”) also felt confident with both feet flat on the ground. That balance matters more than you’d think in stop-go traffic.
