TVS has made a significant impact on the Indian two-wheeler market with the introduction of the Ntorq 150. This new scooter is poised to challenge the Aprilia SR 175, Hero Xoom 160, and Yamaha Aerox 155. This comprehensive comparison aims to help potential buyers evaluate these scooters.
The Ntorq 150 aims to provide a balance of sporty performance, advanced features, and affordability. It features two riding modes (Street and Race) and single-channel ABS, with a focus on technological integration. In Street mode, power delivery is tuned for fuel efficiency, with the engine producing 10.9hp. Essential features such as silent start and stop/start remain active. Race mode unleashes the full potential of the scooter, delivering 13.2hp and utilizing the ISG’s electric boost.
The Ntorq 150’s design includes practical elements like a parking brake lock and motorcycle-style adjustable levers. The underseat storage offers 22 liters of space and includes a USB charging port. The scooter also boasts a range of connectivity features accessible through the TVS app when paired with a smartphone or smartwatch. These include Alexa voice support, geo-fencing, Bluetooth connectivity for calls and notifications, music playback, SOS triggers, and crash alerts. The top variant of the Ntorq 150 includes a 5-inch color TFT display borrowed from the Apache RTR 310. The base model has a split LCD/TFT unit from the Ntorq XT and Jupiter 125 SXC, with controls similar to the Apache 160/200.
