Ntorq 150: The Ultimate Performance Scooter

A bold, new chapter for TVS: Meet the Ntorq 150

TVS has a knack for understanding what Indian riders want. They nailed it with the original Ntorq, a scooter that perfectly balanced practicality with performance and a chunky, sporty look. Now, they’ve taken that success and cranked it up a notch with the all-new TVS Ntorq 150. It’s not just an upgrade; it’s a whole new beast designed for those who want the thrill of a performance bike but in the convenient package of a scooter.

Design that demands a second look

The Ntorq 150 is aggressively styled from the get-go. The front has a distinct, almost mask-like design with a unique face that sets it apart from the crowd. It features four projector headlamps—two for low beam and two for high beam—that light up the night, making a statement on the road. The colour palette is equally impressive, with four striking options: black and red, grey and red, and a blue and silvery combination.

What really makes the design pop are the small, premium touches. The scooter features winglets, an element usually seen on high-end superbikes and cars, which add a touch of high-performance flair. TVS claims they create a slight downforce, but whether it’s for function or just for looks, they definitely make the scooter stand out.

The daytime running lights (DRLs) are dual-function, glowing white during the day and evening. When you hit the turn signal, half of the DRL transforms into an indicator, a clever and stylish touch. Even the front fender is a work of art—short, crisp, and seamlessly integrated into the scooter’s body, giving it a sharp, nose-like feel.

Performance meets practicality

TVS has loaded the Ntorq 150 with a host of advanced features to make it a true performer. It comes with front-wheel ABS, a crucial safety feature that’s still rare in the 125-150cc scooter segment. The tires are robust and wide, with a 100 mm front tire and a 110 mm rear tire, both mounted on 12-inch alloy wheels. These wide tires not only enhance the scooter’s aggressive look but also improve grip and stability, which is essential for a performance-focused machine.

The company has essentially created a scooter for those who want a performance bike but are pushed by family to buy a safer scooter.

Technology that’s ahead of the curve

The large, full-colour console is a hub of information, displaying everything from speed and RPM to ride modes and trip details. You can even switch between a calmer “Street” mode and a fiery “Race” mode, which turns the entire screen red for a more dynamic feel.

Beyond the visuals, the Ntorq 150 offers seamless connectivity. You can pair your smartphone to the scooter, allowing you to view navigation, get call alerts, and listen to music right on the console. It even connects to your smartwatch, giving you access to battery stats and trip data. This level of integration means you don’t need a separate mobile holder, keeping the handlebars clutter-free.

Designed for the modern rider

The Ntorq 150 is packed with smart, user-friendly features. The naked, pipe-style handlebar gives it a more robust, motorcycle-like feel. The piano black finish on the body panels adds a touch of premium luxury that will make owners want to take extra care of their ride.

Practicality hasn’t been forgotten. Beyond performance, the Ntorq 150 is designed for everyday use. It’s equipped with a useful hook for groceries and a generous 22-litre storage compartment under the seat. While it may not accommodate a full-face helmet, it does have a separate space for it. There’s also a convenient Type-A charging port for your devices. The external fuel filler cap is a huge plus, eliminating the hassle of opening the seat just to refuel.

Engine and performance: The heart of the beast

A 149.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine powers the Ntorq 150. This powerhouse delivers a solid 13 BHP at 7000 RPM, putting it in a league of its own. Even more impressive is the 14.2 Nm of torque at 5500 RPM, which is more than what many motorcycles in its class produce.

The scooter also features TVS’s innovative integrated motor-generator (IMG) technology. This system acts as a silent starter and a power booster, providing an instant surge of initial torque. This not only makes the scooter feel incredibly quick off the line but also helps save fuel.

The big question: What’s the mileage?

Keeping its performance metrics in mind, a mileage of 40 to 45 kmpl seems to be a realistic and fair estimate for the Ntorq 150.
