BEHOLD THE NEW TVS NTORQ 125
OPEN YOUR SENSES TO A REVOLUTIONARY RIDING EXPERIENCE
Scooter sales are booming, now. This isn’t a big surprise, as you see them wherever you go and their numbers are on a constant rise on our streets. It’s something similar to the commuter motorcycle boom witnessed in the early 1990s; but the bulk of the scooter sales have been confined to the 110cc segment – which does well as a family scooter. However, with youngsters coming into the fray, the demand for faster and exciting scooters has seen a rise. This has resulted in manufacturers stepping up their game. The latest to get on this bandwagon is TVS, with its new Ntorq 125cc scooter. It is the first 125cc offering from TVS and we spend a day riding it at its test track in the TVS factory.

The NTORQ 125 packs features such as a smartphone charging socket, split grab rails, an external fuel filler cap and an LED tail lamp. The fully digital instrument console comes with 55 features. A big draw will be the Bluetooth connectivity that pairs with your smartphone and, with the help of a rider app, allows you to take and receive calls on the move. The app is called TVS Smart Xconnect and allows you to access navigation, view caller ID on the dashboard, ride stats and last parked location. This feature is an India-first for a scooter.
