Price and variants
Ex-showroom Delhi. On-road estimate for Delhi; other cities on the price page.
The Ntorq 125 is sold in 5 variants, from ₹90,558 for the Disc to ₹1,05,656 for the XT, ex-showroom Delhi.
That makes it priced 18th lowest among the 26 petrol scooters we have reviewed. Its closest price rivals are the Activa 125 (₹2,248 more) and the Avenis 125 (₹2,453 more).
On the road in Delhi, budget about ₹1.04 Lakh for the base variant once 8% Delhi road tax, registration and five-year third-party insurance are added. Dealers often quote higher by bundling accessories, extended warranty and handling charges; all three are negotiable.
| Variant | Ex-showroom | Rough EMI |
|---|---|---|
Disc | ₹90,558 | |
Race Edition | ₹95,249 | |
Super Squad Edition | ₹96,298 | |
Race XP | ₹98,387 | |
XT | ₹1,05,656 |
Mileage
Ntorq 125's claimed mileage is 48.5 kmpl. Owners and our own riding put the real figure between 40 and 45 kmpl, roughly 12% under the brochure number, which is typical once traffic, a pillion and short trips are factored in.
Among the 25 scooters we have reviewed it ranks 15th for mileage, 1 kmpl below the group average of 49 kmpl.
Engine and ride
The 125cc air-cooled engine makes 9.25 bhp and 10.5 Nm through a CVT automatic. With a kerb weight of 111 kg that is 83 bhp per tonne, 4th best power-to-weight of the 25 scooters in this class we have reviewed.
The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.
Seat height is a low 770 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Ntorq 125 has built its reputation on being the scooter with genuine attitude, and the numbers back that up: 9.25bhp from a 124.8cc engine, a front disc as standard, and connected features like Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation from ₹90,558. It is TVS's answer for a buyer who wants a scooter that does not feel like an appliance.
Riding it every day
Acceleration off the line feels genuinely brisker than most 125cc rivals, useful for beating traffic off a signal, and the front disc brake gives confident stopping power that a lot of scooters at this price still lack. At 111kg it stays flickable in city lanes, and the 155mm ground clearance handles typical speed breakers without scraping. The rear drum brake is the one obvious compromise, noticeable mainly in hard braking or wet conditions, since the front disc does most of the work day to day.
What to know before buying
Real-world mileage of 40-45kmpl sits meaningfully below the claimed 48.5kmpl, a common gap but worth budgeting for. The 3,000km service interval is tighter than most 125cc scooters, so factor in more frequent trips to the dealer, though TVS's 5-year, 50,000km warranty offsets some of that with long-term cover. The digital console, ride modes and app connectivity all work well and add genuine daily convenience rather than gimmick value.
Who should buy it
This suits a younger rider or anyone who wants their scooter to feel a little sporty without stepping up to a 150cc engine. It is a less obvious pick for buyers chasing maximum fuel economy or the lowest possible service costs, where the Jupiter or a Honda Activa variant would serve better.

On safety kit the Ntorq 125 has front disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps.
Against Ntorq 150, Xoom 125 or Dio 125, it gets turn-by-turn navigation, ride modes and engine kill switch that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: led headlamp, projector headlamp and colour tft console, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 14 colours: Super Soldier, Lightning Gray, Amazing Red, Stealth Black, Blaze Blue, Dark Black, Race Red Black, Neon, Nardo Grey, Spiti White, Midnight Black, Rush Green, Drift Blue and Inferno Red. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 5 years or 50,000 km. After the free services, the recommended interval is every 3,000 km.
TVS runs a sizeable sales and service network in India, at roughly 4,500 touchpoints. Spares and a mechanic who knows the model are rarely far away.
On sale since 2018, the Ntorq 125 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
Ntorq 125: questions people ask

- The Ntorq 125 costs between ₹90,558 and ₹1,05,656 ex-showroom Delhi across 5 variants, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance and varies by state.

- What is the mileage of the Ntorq 125?
- Claimed mileage is 48.5 kmpl. Owners typically see 40–45 kmpl in mixed city and highway riding.
- How much does the Ntorq 125 cost to run per month?
- Fuel works out to about ₹2.23 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹1,740 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the Ntorq 125?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,870 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- What is the engine capacity and power of the Ntorq 125?
- It uses a 125cc engine producing 9.25 bhp and 10.5 Nm, with a cvt automatic.
- Is the Ntorq 125 suitable for short riders?
- Yes. Seat height is 770 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
- Ntorq 125 or Ntorq 150: which is better?
- The Ntorq 150 is ₹21,791 more expensive to start and less efficient at 40 kmpl against 48.5 kmpl. Pick the Ntorq 125 for young, performance-minded riders, the Ntorq 150 for scooter riders wanting bike-like pace. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Ntorq 125?
- Among the 26 scooters we have reviewed, the Activa 6G (₹80,000), the Jupiter 125 (₹80,000), the Dio (₹74,820) start lower.
- Is the Ntorq 125 too sporty to be practical for daily errands?
- Not really, the underseat storage and 5.8-litre tank make it as usable for daily errands as any 125cc scooter, and the sporty tune just adds some fun to short trips. It is a genuinely dual-purpose scooter rather than a style-only product.
- Why does the Ntorq need servicing every 3,000km when rivals go longer?
- TVS's shorter 3,000km interval reflects the more highly tuned three-valve engine and is meant to preserve performance rather than signal reliability concerns. It does mean marginally higher service costs and more frequent visits than a Jupiter or Activa over the ownership period.
