TVS Motor Company has announced the launch of a new variant of the Ntorq 125 scooter. Christened as the Ntorq 125 Race XP, this new version of the scooter packs features such as selectable riding modes, new graphics, and updated Smartxonnect system. The new TVS Ntorq 125 Race XP has been priced at Rs 83,275 (ex-showroom, Delhi), and here we tell you the alternatives that potential buyers can consider in a similar price range.
Aprilia Storm 125 (Rs 88,711)
The Aprilia Storm 125 is available at a price premium over the TVS Ntorq 125 XP. The scooter comes equipped with dual-purpose tyres that give it a rugged look while the modern graphics and design should attract young buyers. The Italian scooter, however, misses features such as an LED headlight and a Bluetooth-enabled instrument cluster, which could influence the buying decision of some people. Mechanical specifications include a 124.45cc, single-cylinder engine that delivers 9.78bhp at 7,500rpm and 9.6Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm.
Suzuki Burgman Street (Rs 84,735)
The Suzuki Burgman Street also carries a marginal price premium over the latest iteration of the Ntorq 125. The maxi-scooter-style Burgman Street benefits from features like an LED headlight and Bluetooth connectivity, although this version is available at Rs 89,471. Mechanical specifications include a 124cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 8.58bhp at 6,750rpm and 10Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm.
Honda SP 125 (Rs 78,381)
Honda’s stylish 125cc commuter motorcycle, the SP 125 is available at a lower price tag than the new TVS Ntorq 125 XP. While the SP 125 does not get Bluetooth connectivity, it benefits from features like an LED headlight and modern switchgear that looks premium and appealing. Mechanical specifications include a 124cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 10.72bhp at 7,500rpm and 10.9Nm of peak torque at 6,000rpm.
Honda Grazia (Rs 76,823)
The Honda Grazia is one of the direct threats to the TVS Ntorq 125. The Japanese scooter features a modern design and bold colour options that should attract young buyers. The mechanical specifications include a 124cc, single-cylinder motor that churns out 8.14bhp of power at 6,000rpm and 10.3Nm of peak torque at 5,000rpm.
Bajaj Pulsar 125 (Rs 73,427)
The muscular and stylish Bajaj Pulsar 125 is available at a much lower price than the Ntorq 125. The bigger Pulsar model-inspired styling makes the Pulsar 125 even more desirable. The mechanical specifications on the entry-level Pulsar model include a 124.4cc, single-cylinder engine that makes 11.64bhp of power at 8,500rpm and 10.8Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm.
