In a highly anticipated move, TVS Motor Company has officially unveiled its latest addition to the scooter segment, the NTorq 150.
TVS NTorq 150
Positioned as a “hyper sport scooter,” the new model is designed to cater to the performance-oriented aspirations of the youth, particularly Gen Z riders.
With a starting price of INR 1.19 Lakh (ex-showroom, all-India), the NTorq 150 arrives with a promise to redefine the sporty scooter category with its aggressive styling, robust performance, and a suite of advanced features.
The NTorq 150 builds on the foundation of its popular sibling, the NTorq 125, but with a more muscular and attention-grabbing aesthetic.
Its design is a bold statement, inspired by stealth aircraft, featuring a brand-new quad projector LED headlamp setup that gives it a distinct and futuristic look.
The sharp tail lamps, split grab rails, and stylish body panels contribute to its sporty appeal. The scooter is available in a range of vibrant and eye-catching colors, including Turbo Blue, Nitro Green, Racing Red, and Stealth Silver, ensuring riders can choose a style that matches their personality.
Unleashing Hyper-Tuned Performance
At the heart of the NTorq 150 is a new 149.7cc, 3-valve, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This motor is a bored-out and re-engineered version of the NTorq 125’s mill, delivering a significant boost in power and torque.
It generates a maximum power of 13.2 BHP at 7,000 rpm and a peak torque of 14.2 Nm at 5,500 rpm. This power plant is mated to a CVT transmission, allowing for a smooth and responsive ride.
With a claimed top speed of 104 km/h and a 0-60 km/h acceleration time of 6.3 seconds, the NTorq 150 is positioned as one of the quickest scooters in its class, offering a thrilling ride experience.
Advanced Features for a Connected Ride
Beyond its performance, the NTorq 150 is a technology showcase. It comes equipped with a number of segment-first features that set it apart from the competition.
The scooter features two distinct riding modes: Street and Race. The Street mode is optimized for daily commutes, offering a more mellow throttle response and better fuel efficiency, while the Race mode unleashes the engine’s full potential for a more exhilarating experience.
The scooter also includes an advanced single-channel ABS and a first-in-segment traction control system, providing a superior level of safety and control, especially on slippery surfaces.
The suspension and chassis, while based on the NTorq 125, have been re-engineered with stiffer spring rates and damping for enhanced stability and a sporty ride. It rides on 12-inch alloy wheels, with a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.
One of the most impressive features is the scooter’s connected technology. The top-end variant comes with a full-color TFT display, which offers a host of features through the TVS SmartXonnect™ system.
Riders can connect their smartphones and smartwatches to the display for turn-by-turn navigation, live vehicle tracking, call/SMS alerts, and music controls.
The system also includes features like Alexa integration, OTA (Over-The-Air) updates, crash and theft alerts, and even customizable widgets, making it one of the most technologically advanced scooters on the market.
Design and Ergonomics
Despite its larger engine, the NTorq 150 maintains a manageable kerb weight of 115 kg, making it nimble and easy to handle in city traffic.
It features a spacious single-piece seat and a neutral riding position that accommodates a wide range of riders comfortably. Practicality is not an afterthought, with a 22-liter under-seat storage compartment and a USB charging port, ensuring convenience for daily commutes.
With the launch of the NTorq 150, TVS is not just introducing a new scooter; it is aiming to create a new category of “hyper sport” two-wheelers.
The combination of a powerful engine, sporty design, and a plethora of high-tech features makes it a compelling option for riders seeking both a thrilling ride and smart connectivity.
The NTorq 150 is a testament to TVS’s innovation and its understanding of the evolving demands of the modern rider.
