TVS Ntorq 125 XT – First Look and Design
When it comes to design, the TVS Ntorq 125 XT is inspired by a stealth aircraft. Its aggressive and sharp look gives it a premium vibe. At the front, twin-pod LED headlamps and daytime running lights (DRLs) further enhance its road presence. Geometric lines and deep creases on the body panels give it a rugged yet stylish look. At the rear, the signature ‘T’ shaped taillight further highlights the TVS branding.
And talking about the colours, the Neon shade is exclusive to the XT variant. Apart from this, other variants also get vibrant colours of Turquoise Blue, Harlequin Blue, Nardo Grey, Race Edition Red, Marine Blue, and the Marvel-themed Super Squad Edition that are loved by youngsters. Its matte black finish and red diamond-cut alloy wheels give it a sporty edge.
Engine and Performance – Power
The TVS Ntorq 125 XT has a 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 3-valve engine that produces 9.5 PS power and 10.6 Nm torque. It is even more powerful in the Race XP variant that produces 10.2 PS power and 10.9 Nm torque, making it the most powerful 125cc scooter in India.
Be it city rides or highways, this scooter will not disappoint you. It achieves 0-60 kmph speed in just 6.5 seconds, which shows its quick acceleration. Its CVTi-REVV technology gives smooth power delivery and seamless performance. Talking about the top speed, it can go upto 95 kmph, which is quite impressive for this segment.
And yes, it also has dual riding modes – Street and Race – through which you can customize the ride according to your mood and road conditions. Mileage is better in Street mode, while you get full enjoyment of performance in Race mode.
Mileage – Pocket-Friendly Ride
Let’s talk about mileage, which is important for every Indian buyer. The ARAI certified mileage of the TVS Ntorq 125 XT is 50 kmpl, but in real-world conditions it gives around 40-45 kmpl, depending on your riding style. If you ride a little aggressively, the mileage can be a little less, but in the city and highway mix it gives a very balanced performance. Its 5.8-liter fuel tank also gives decent range on a single fill.
Technology – Boss of Segment
What makes the TVS Ntorq 125 XT a real game-changer is its SmartXonnectTM connectivity platform. This scooter is ahead of the curve in terms of technology. It gets a hybrid TFT and LCD console which is a segment-first. The console is so smart that it gives you turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and social media notifications. Yes, and it also shows live cricket scores – what could be cooler than this?
It also gets a voice assist feature that lets you control the scooter’s features with your voice commands. For example, setting navigation or picking up a call, everything is possible with just voice. The TVS IntelliGO technology gives a silent and smooth start-stop function that further improves fuel efficiency.
To top it all, it gets 20-litre underseat storage along with a boot light and a USB charger. The external fuel cap is also a small but useful feature, which makes refueling hassle-free.
Ride and Handling – Comfort
The TVS Ntorq 125 XT’s telescopic front suspension and rear gas-filled monoshock provide a balanced ride quality. The scooter comes with 155mm ground clearance, which is perfect for the speed breakers and bumpy roads of Indian roads. Its 110 kg weight makes it sturdy and stable, but it is also quite agile in city traffic.
The 12-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tyres (100-section front and 110-section rear) provide good grip, be it on dry or wet roads. Braking is done by 220mm front petal disc and 130mm rear drum brake with CBS (Combined Braking System), which delivers confident stopping power. Braking experience could have been better with a slightly softer brake feel, but overall it is quite reliable.
The seat is also quite spacious and well-padded, which is comfortable for both rider and pillion. It doesn’t get tired even on long rides, and its upright riding posture is ideal for city commutes.
