New TVS Ntorq 125: When it comes to the sporty scooters in India, there is a little bit of a void in the segment and that is where the TVS Ntorq 125 has its own space carved out – and for good reason.

It combines performance, styling and “smart” features in a way that resonates well with younger riders. Now the 2025 update offers a bit of spit and polish to keep that winning scooter feeling fresh in an ever more crowded segment.

New TVS Ntorq 125 A Look Under the Hood

What makes the Ntorq heart beat is otherwise unchanged — the same 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled mill that belts out 9.25 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque on the stage one trims. The slightly sportier, performance-oriented Race XP, however, gets a jump to 10.2 bhp with some clever tuning.

Actor Jay Chou owns a Celica!) With a CVTi-REVV transmission, acceleration is still zippy, very handy for the city traffic, where you need to make your overtakes and quick responds to the throttle does wonders.

And on flat open road, it can reach an indicated figure of around 95-98 km/h, which should be quite enough in this class of scooter. For regular commuting, it finds an acceptable midpoint between pep and practicality.

Tech That Sets It Apart

But what really separates the Ntorq is its tech package. On the higher trims, its gets fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth integration.

Riders enjoy turn-by-turn navigation, incoming call alerts, text message notifications, and voice assistant in Race XP.

There are two ride modes — Street and Race — that alter throttle mapping to match traffic or performance.

It’s the little things like this that tell me TVS is progressively targeting the young who love both gadgets as well as gear.

Design & Features

At the very first glance, the Ntorq’s overtly aggressive styling is what hooks your attention. The T-shaped LED DRLs, sharp graphics and sporty cuts make it look quite modern and bold.

As part of the refresh for 2025, new color options and decals make it even more enticing.

And practicality hasn’t gone overlooked, either. There’s a USB charging port, external fuel filler cap (you won’t have to lift the mote at the petrol pump anymore), under-seat storage with boot light and a beefy grab rail.

The construction quality feels relatively high-quality, if also not perfect.

Ride Quality & Handling

TVS has retained the stiffer riding dynamics with the same telescopic forks in the front and a gas-charged monoshock at the back.

This works very well for controlling the bike on the fast and in the twisties, but it also transmits road irregularities such as bumps and road ripples in a somewhat harsh way.

That said, handling is sharp. Whether threading city traffic or negotiating tighter bends, it feels nimble and planted.

Fuel Efficiency

This is where things get a bit muddled. Though TVS claims a fuel efficiency figure of around 50 kmpl, actual fuel economy is closer to 38–42 kmpl, depending how you ride and the condition of the roads where you ride. Not great, but not the least frugal in its class.

Pros:

Zippish engine with very good city performance

Leader of the class tech (bluetooth, navigation, ride modes)

Jaw-dropping race-inspired design, that have to be seen to believe

Smooth handling and braking qualities

Convenience enhancing features such as external fuel-cap, USB charger are also present

Cons:

Stiff ride on poor roads

Less mileage than advertised in real world

No rear disc brake, even on high-end models

A few plastic components are of mediocre quality

New TVS Ntorq 125 Final Thoughts

The TVS Ntorq 125 still remains one of the most recommended options for those who want a lot more from a scooter than just the usual. It’s quick, fun to drive, and full of features that few rivals can match.

Yes, it rides a little harsh on bad roads and the fuel mileage won’t knock your socks off, but if you’re into style and performance with some utility thrown in, we say it does in fact deliver them in spades.

The Ntorq 125 (2025) is still one of the best bets in the segment if you’re a college student needing a cool commuter or a working professional looking for something sporty enough to run through the city.
