KEEPING THE PACE!

The Ntorq 125 was loved by the masses. Now it is time for its bigger brother to shine!

Every so often, an automaker gets a shot to create something special - and reap the rewards. For TVS Motor Company, that moment came in 2018, and they grabbed it with both hands with the launch of the Ntorq. Now, a similar opportunity seems to have presented itself once again. And befittingly, the story once again revolves around the Ntorq - this time in a bigger, bolder 150cc avatar. So, the obvious question is - can TVS recreate the same magic with the Ntorq 150?

FAMILIAR YET DIFFERENT

Design is a matter of preference, but if you ask me, the Ntorq 150 hits all the right notes in terms of styling. Built on the same platform as the Ntorq 125, its dimensions are more or less identical. But the designers have done a commendable job, especially with the apron - it looks modern and intimidating. The Ntorq 150 comes with quad LED projector headlamps, positioned higher up on the apron. Below the headlamp are the sleek LED DRLs, which also double as turn indicators. There are some other small details that I really like – for instance, the winglets on the side of the apron, the dual-tone front fender, and the side panels with different colours and finishes. The T-shaped taillamp is now slimmer and more stylish than before. Another nice touch is the adjustable brake levers.
