TVS Motor Company has long been recognized for delivering scooters that balance performance, style, and technology. Its NTorq series, first introduced in 2018 with the NTorq 125, quickly became a favorite among young riders for its aggressive styling and innovative features. In September 2025, TVS elevated the series with the launch of the NTorq 150 (149.7 cc) — a scooter designed for riders seeking a combination of thrilling performance, advanced connectivity, and everyday practicality.
Positioned against rivals like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160, the NTorq 150 aims to redefine the sporty scooter segment by offering a unique blend of technology, style, and usability.
The Journey of NTorq: From 125 to 150
The NTorq series began its journey with the NTorq 125, which stood out with its SmartXonnect technology — a segment-first Bluetooth-enabled system offering turn-by-turn navigation, ride statistics, and call notifications. Over the years, TVS introduced multiple editions such as the Race Edition, Race XP, and special collaborations like the Super Squad series. The NTorq 125 not only dominated the Indian market but also became a key export model, solidifying TVS’s presence globally.
The NTorq 150 marks a significant step forward, providing more power, enhanced features, and a modern TFT cluster, positioning it as a true competitor in the 150–160 cc sporty scooter category.
