Specifications
The all-new 124.79cc single-cylinder, air-cooled motor delivers 9.4PS of power and 10.5Nm of torque. TVS has equipped the NTorq with an all-new chassis suspended upon telescopic forks at the front and a gas-charged monoshock at the rear. Braking is handled by a 220mm petal disc at the front and a 130mm drum unit at the back.
Competitors
Aprilia SR 125: The Aprilia SR 125 manages to balance the trademark Aprilia aggression while being more usable thanks to its new 125cc engine. However, it fails to justify its hefty price tag of Rs 65,210 (ex-showroom Delhi) as it doesn’t offer the suppleness or features that you get with the NTorq.
Honda Grazia: The Grazia comes with Honda's ever-reliable build quality and engine refinement. It also comes with LED headlamps, which are absent on the TVS scooter, and a respectable floorboard space, which is better than the NTorq and the SR. However, it severely lacks behind the NTorq in terms of features, underseat storage and, mostly importantly, the fun factor and supple ride quality to make your everyday riding a blissful experience. It is also Rs Rs 4500 more expensive than the NTorq, which kind of weakens its standpoint further.
Suzuki Access 125: The Suzuki Access 125 sports a more mature retro design than its competition. However, under the hood, it packs a peppy engine that is fun to ride. It also has decent enough features to satisfy the needs of being a family scooter, and ample amount of floorboard and underseat space. It also offers superior ride quality and comfort in the saddle for both the rider and pillion, making it the ideal family scooter choice.
ZigSays
The TVS NTorq ticks all the boxes when it comes to practicality and excitement. It offers an engaging ride experience, exceptional performance and a host of features never seen on an Indian scooter before. All this at an attractive price point of Rs 58,750 (ex-showroom Delhi). This helps it in undercutting its Honda and Aprilia rivals by a good margin, while almost matching its competition from Suzuki. It certainly gets a thumbs-up from our side.
