2025 TVS Ntorq 125:
In the sporty scooter segment in India, there’s a noticeable gap — and the TVS Ntorq 125 has managed to fill it impressively.
It stands out by blending performance, stylish design, and smart features that particularly appeal to younger riders. The 2025 update brings subtle refinements to help the Ntorq maintain its appeal and stay competitive in an increasingly crowded market.
New TVS Ntorq 125 – What Powers It
The core of the Ntorq remains unchanged — it continues to use the reliable 124.8cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, producing 9.25 bhp and 10.5 Nm of torque in the standard trims. The sportier Race XP variant, however, benefits from some smart tuning that bumps the power up to 10.2 bhp.
Paired with the CVTi-REVV transmission, the scooter offers brisk acceleration, making it ideal for quick overtakes and responsive riding in busy city traffic.
On open stretches, it can hit a claimed top speed of around 95-98 km/h — more than adequate for a scooter in this category. Overall, it strikes a good balance between lively performance and everyday 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.
