TVS NTORQ 150 FAMILIARITY WITH EXTRA OOMPH!

TVS has launched the Ntorq 150, and we rode it on TVS' test track in Hosur to bring you our first-ride review of the bigger and badder Ntorq!

FOR years, the TVS Ntorq 125 has been the go-to scooter for those seeking practicality with a dash of sportiness. It carved a niche for itself by being fun without being overbearing, and that formula has worked well for TVS. But it has been around for nearly 7 years now, and the Ntorq really needed a shot in the arm. That is where the TVS Ntorq 150 comes in. We rode on TVS' test track in Hosur, and here is our review.

The idea of Ntorq 150 is not just to renew the idea of Ntorq. It is a response to the evolving scooter market in India. People are expecting bigger engines, more power, more presence, and all of that without sacrificing the practicality. In the Ntorq 150's case, we can add familiarity as well.

The new TVS Ntorq 150, in terms of its design, is bold. It has some familiar cues that point to it being an Ntorq, but all of Ntorq 125's edginess has been dialled to 11 in the case of the Ntorq 150. It is a looker and that is without question! TVS has given it four striking colour options, and none of them are subtle.

Now, whether it's the split LED projector headlamp, the angry-brow DRLs that double as indicators, the wings, or the tail that, in addition to a beautiful taillamp, carries the thruster/afterburner aesthetic made popular by the Ntorq 125... the Ntorq 150 screams intent... a sporty intent.
