TVS Motor Company has teased the upcoming Ntorq 125
scooter through its social media channels. The company hasn’t revealed many
details about the upcoming variant, although the teaser video shows an LED
headlight in an updated design on the 125 cc scooter. The updated headlight
also packs LED strips that mimic the “T” shape of the taillight.
The teaser video also shows new graphics on the
apron. It is still not clear whether the upcoming Ntorq 125 is a special
edition model for the festive season or the BS-VI compliant version. Do note
that TVS Motor Company has introduced special variants of its existing range
such as the new Jupiter Grande with Bluetooth-enabled instrument console, StaR
City+ Special Edition and the TVS Radeon 'Commuter of the Year' celebratory
special edition ahead of the high demand festive period.
The BS-IV compliant 124.79 cc air-cooled 3-valve,
OHC engine with carburettor pumps out 9.4 PS of max power at 7,500 rpm and a
peak torque of 10.5 Nm at 5,500 rpm. The BS-VI version will arrive with fuel
injection system among other upgrades to comply with the more stringent
emission norms. The performance numbers on the BS-VI model will not be very
different.
Hardware specifications will retain the
Bluetooth-enabled instrument console that will work with the 'TVS NTORQ'
SmartXonnect App to offer functions like Navigation Assist, Last Parked
Location Assist, Incoming Call Alert, Missed Call Alert, Auto Reply SMS, Phone
Signal Strength, Phone Battery Strength and Ride Stats. Other key functions
offered by the console comprise 0-60 km/h acceleration timer, in-built lap
timer, Power/Eco mode indicator and three trip meters.
The suspension and braking setup will most likely
have the same setup as on the current model. Thus, shock absorption tasks will
be handled by telescopic forks at the front and an adjustable spring at the
back. The braking department will comprise drum brakes on both wheels on the
base variant, while the premium variant will have a front disc. The prices may also see a
revision. For reference, the current TVS Ntorq 125 drum brake variant is
available for INR 58,252*, while the disc version retails at INR 59,900*.
