TVS Ntorq 125

The TVS Ntorq 125 facelift didn’t just refresh the styling — it sharpened the personality. At its heart sits a 124.8 cc engine that feels lively and responsive, especially in the Race XP version that produces 10.06 bhp. That extra punch is noticeable when you twist the throttle in traffic or chase a clear stretch of road. In the TVS Ntorq 125 2025 lineup, the target is obvious: young riders who want energy, style, and tech in one scooter.

What really changes the experience is the Race XP’s dual ride modes. Switch between Street and Race, and you can actually feel the difference in throttle response. Add SmartXonnect tech, ride stats, navigation, and connected features, and you get a scooter that feels modern and interactive. 

As Preetam Bora says, “The Race XP feels quicker and also gets a maximum speed which nudges triple digits.”

Still one of the most performance-focused scooters in the segment.

Variants 

The Ntorq range gives you options without confusing you. The engine platform stays the same across the lineup, but depending on what you value - price, style, tech, or performance, there’s a clear choice waiting for you. Here’s how each variant stands out.

TVS Ntorq 125 Drum

This is where the journey begins. The TVS Ntorq 125 base model Drum variant keeps things simple but still exciting. You get a front drum brake, SmartXonnect connectivity, and the standard engine tune. It delivers the same sporty feel, just without the added braking hardware of higher trims. If you want the Ntorq attitude at the most accessible price, this is your entry point.

TVS Ntorq 125 Disc

Step up to the Disc variant and you gain a 220mm front disc brake. The braking feel is noticeably stronger and more confidence-inspiring in city traffic. Mechanically, though, everything else remains unchanged. Same engine, same power delivery - just better stopping power.

TVS Ntorq 125 Race Edition

The Race Edition is all about looks. Sportier graphics, red alloy wheels, and sharper colour themes give it more street presence. Underneath, it’s the same standard mechanical setup. You’re paying for style, not extra performance.

TVS Ntorq 125 Super Squad Edition

If you want something that stands out at a college parking lot, this is it. Marvel-themed graphics and bold design touches define the Super Squad Edition. Performance remains identical to the standard variants. It’s purely cosmetic differentiation.

TVS Ntorq 125 Race XP

This is the performance star. With 10.06 bhp output, dual ride modes (Street and Race), and voice assist, the Race XP genuinely feels sharper. Throttle response is more eager, and it carries the strongest personality in the lineup. This is effectively the performance-focused TVS Ntorq 125 top model.

TVS Ntorq 125 XT

The XT goes big on tech. You get a larger digital console, advanced SmartXonnect features, and premium styling details. Mechanically, it runs the standard tune, but if you love screens, connectivity, and data, this is the variant that feels most modern.

What You Should Know

• Same engine architecture across all variants
• Race XP gets the higher performance tune
• Differences lie in braking, technology, and styling
• All variants sit within a tight pricing band

So whether you’re chasing budget, bold graphics, tech appeal, or outright performance, there’s an Ntorq that fits your personality.

The first time we rolled the Ntorq out into traffic, it didn’t look like a regular commuter scooter. It looks sharp, compact, and full of attitude. The body panels are sharp and sculpted, which gives it a mini-supersport look. The LED daytime running lights give the front a modern look, especially at night when they light up. The split grab rail and muscular tail section make it look sporty even when it's parked. This scooter doesn't blend in with the background; it stands out.

Here’s what stands out visually:

• Sharp, angular body panels
• LED DRLs with sporty front face
• Split grab rail design
• 12-inch wheels for a planted stance
• Bold, sporty colour themes

The 12-inch wheels fill the arches nicely and give it a more confident road presence compared to softer-looking rivals. Even in college parking lots or office basements, it feels energetic and youthful. As Preetam Bora says, “Overall, I think it’s quite a likeable scooter — handles beautifully.”

That line captures its personality perfectly. The Ntorq is aggressive over subtle — and it owns that identity.

Before we talk about how it feels on the road, let’s quickly look at what’s working underneath the skin. Here are the key numbers for the Race XP version.

Now here’s why these numbers matter. With 10.06 bhp pushing just 116 kg, the Ntorq feels lively every time we twist the throttle. That strong power-to-weight balance helps it dart through traffic, pull cleanly off signals, and feel energetic without being intimidating. It’s quick enough to feel exciting, but still easy for everyday riding.

Rider Ergonomics

Swing a leg over the Ntorq and you immediately notice the balance it strikes. The riding posture is upright, so your back doesn’t feel strained in traffic, yet the rider triangle maintains a sporty edge. The seat height feels accessible, and the wide handlebar gives you good leverage while filtering through tight gaps. In city traffic, that wide bar actually makes direction changes feel easy and controlled.

The all-digital console contributes to the modern feel. It’s clear, bright, and packed with information. Checking speed, trip data, or connected features, everything is within reach. The switchgear feels solid too - not premium in a luxury sense, but durable and reassuring for daily use.

Rear Seat Reality

The pillion seat offers manageable space for short city runs. It’s fine for quick office drops or college rides, but it’s not built for long-distance comfort. The footpeg position and cushioning are decent, just not touring-friendly.

Clear stance? This scooter is best enjoyed solo.

Out in the city, the Ntorq feels alert from the moment we twist the throttle. The low-end response is strong, which means you don’t have to wait for it to wake up at traffic lights. It pulls cleanly and confidently through crowded streets, making quick overtakes easy. As Preetam Bora says, “The engine is quite smooth and refined.” And he’s right — there’s very little vibration creeping through the floorboard or handlebar at normal speeds.

Move onto wider Ring Road stretches and the mid-range punch becomes more noticeable. In Street mode, the power delivery is balanced and predictable. Switch to Race mode on the Race XP, and you can actually feel the sharper throttle response. It feels livelier, more eager to accelerate, especially during open sprints and flyover climbs.

On open stretches, the Race XP comfortably nudges toward triple-digit speeds when conditions allow. It doesn’t feel strained; it feels energetic for a 125. That’s what makes it fun.

0–60 kmph

For its class, that’s genuinely quick. It’s not superbike fast, but in the 125 cc segment, it feels exciting and responsive — exactly what a youth-focused performance scooter should be.

Ride & Handling

Push the Ntorq a little harder and you quickly realise it isn’t just about straight-line speed. On wider roads and the long flyovers, it is stable at greater speeds. When we change lanes quickly, it doesn't shake or feel nervous. This kind of stability makes long stretches of highway less stressful and more fun. It stays in queue even when traffic is moving quickly.

When we ride it with purpose, this is what stands out:

• Stable and calm at higher speeds
• Good feel when you brake with progressive bite
• 12-inch tires make you feel more sure when you turn.
• Able to move quickly in traffic without feeling jittery

The 12-inch tires make it feel stable, especially when you lean into long turns. The way the brakes are set up also gives you confidence. The front disc gives you reassuring feedback, and sudden stops feel composed rather than abrupt. As Preetam Bora says, “Brakes are superb.” 

Overall, the Ntorq strikes a smart balance. It feels playful when you want fun, yet composed when you need control.
