TVS Ntorq 150 vs Hero Xoom 160 vs Yamaha Aerox 155: Sporty Scooters highlights

The recently-launched TVS Ntorq 150 is a sporty, tech-loaded scooter that has what it takes to compete with more expensive and slightly more powerful scooters like the Xoom 160 and the Aerox 155. Here is a specifications comparison between these sporty scooters.

Engine

Specifications	TVS Ntorq 150	Hero Xoom 160	Yamaha Aerox 155
Engine	149.7cc	156cc	154cc
Cooling Type	Air-cooled	Liquid-cooled	Liquid-cooled
Power	13.2PS	14.6PS	15PS
Torque	14.2Nm	14Nm	13.9Nm
Gearbox	CVT	CVT	CVT

The TVS Ntorq 150 feels sharp and punchy, giving you a quick burst of speed and it surely feels lively to ride, a character that makes city rides exciting. In comparison, the Hero Xoom 160 makes more power, but this maxi-scooter weighs a lot more. The advantage it has over the Ntorq 150, is its liquid-cooled engine.

The Yamaha Aerox 155, meanwhile, feels the most sophisticated, calm and composed at low speeds, but once it builds momentum and the variable-valve tech kicks in, it surges forward with motorcycle-like smoothness and stability, making it the most polished and confidence-inspiring sporty scooter of the three.

Underpinnings

Specifications	TVS Ntorq 150	Hero Xoom 160	Yamaha Aerox 155
Frame	Steel tube	Steel tube	Steel tube
Front Suspension	Telescopic fork	Telescopic fork	Telescopic fork
Rear Suspension	Monoshock	Twin shock absorbers	Twin shock absorbers
Front Brake	220mm disc brake	240mm disc brake	230mm disc brake
Rear Brake	130mm drum brake	140mm drum brake	130mm drum brake
Front Tyre	100/80-12 - Tubeless	120/70 - 14 - Tubeless	110/80-14 - Tubeless
Rear Tyre	110/80-12 - Tubeless	140/60 - 14 Tubeless	140/70-14 - Tubeless

The TVS Ntorq 150 feels light, flickable, and city-friendly, thanks to its slimmer tyres running on smaller 12-inch alloy wheels. The suspension setup works well in maintaining the lively handling and it also keeps things comfortable. While it comes with the smallest front disc brake amongst the trio, it still manages to provide surefooted braking performance.

The Hero Xoom 160 has a proper maxi-scooter ergonomics, which should make it quite comfortable on long stretches of the highway. In contrast, the Yamaha Aerox 155 feels the most premium and motorcycle-like. It comes with a sporty, yet comfortable stance that shines at higher speeds. Though its firm suspension can feel harsh on bad roads, it manages corners with ease. Other than this, the brakes on the Aerox 155 work well, but the rear drum brakes don’t offer the most reassuring feedback.

Dimensions

Specifications	TVS Ntorq 150	Hero Xoom 160	Yamaha Aerox 155
Wheelbase	1285mm	1348mm	1,350mm
Ground Clearance	155mm	155mm	145mm
Fuel tank capacity	5.8 Litres	7 Litres	5.5 Litres
Kerb weight	115kg	142kg	126kg

Of the three, the Ntorq 150 has the shortest wheelbase. This is one of the reasons why it feels agile and playful in the urban jungle. In comparison, the Xoom 160 and Aerox 155, with much longer wheelbases, should feel more planted and stable, especially when cruising at higher speeds out on the highway.

The TVS Ntorq 150 is also the lightest here, and that low weight should help it keep pace with its heavier, more powerful rivals in overall performance. Meanwhile, the Hero Xoom 160, being a maxi-scooter, carries the largest fuel tank. The difference is not that huge, just about 1.2 litres and 1.5 litres, more than the Ntorq and Aerox, respectively, but it does give you a welcome bump in range.

Most of the features can feel gimmicky, but they surely make it a fun scooter to own. Other than this it also gets a decent underseat storage space that adds a touch of practicality.

The Hero Xoom feels the most utility-focussed in this sense, keeping things simple yet effective with useful storage spaces, connected features like turn-by-turn navigation and also a USB charger. All of which should make everyday city rides stress-free, and make touring easy, should you want to. Just like the Xoom 160, the Yamaha Aerox 155 keeps it simple. However, both the Xoom 160 and Aerox 155 offer additional features like keyless ignition, which gives them a slight upper hand over the Ntorq 150.
