**Design**
The Ntorq 150 features a modern and sharp design, specifically targeted at youth. The scooter’s design is likely to appeal to many, with its attractive front appearance. Color options include Turbo Blue, Stealth Silver, Racing Red, and Nitro Green. The scooter includes a quad-projector LED headlight setup, new stylish LED DRLs, LED taillights with a new “T” logo, painted 12-inch alloy wheels, winglets on the front for downforce, a short sporty exhaust, split grab rails, street-style handlebars, a 5-inch TFT display, and new switchgear.

**Specifications**
To maximize space utilization, TVS has incorporated a glove compartment and a retractable hook. The under-seat storage is 22 liters and includes a USB Type-A port, but lacks a boot light. Only half-face and small full-face helmets can fit. A surprising element is that this sporty scooter still features 12-inch wheels on both ends. The company explains that larger wheels would reduce the top speed, hence the decision to maintain 12-inch wheels. The Ntorq 150 has a wheelbase of 1,285 mm, similar to the Ntorq 125, which enhances handling. It also includes features such as a telescopic front fork, a mono-shock rear suspension, disc brakes with ABS at the front, drum brakes at the rear, and a parking brake.

**Features**
TVS has equipped a petrol scooter with a 5-inch TFT display, packed with features. The company claims it offers 22 segment-first features, making it more advanced than any scooter sold in India. It also includes 4G eSIM, providing various connected features. The screen comes with day and night themes and has auto-brightness.

Key features include a top-speed recorder, a 0-60 km/h timer, smartwatch connectivity with Alexa, Android, and Apple, crash alert, live vehicle tracking, last park location, weather updates, social media notifications, music control, call/SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation. The TFT display is controlled by a 4-way navigation button on the left side. Both brake levers are adjustable.

**Engine and Power**
TVS claims a 0-60 km/h acceleration time of 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 104 km/h. However, during the drive, it reached 99-100 km/h. The new sporty scooter has a 149.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that generates 13 bhp of power and 14.2 Nm of torque. The exhaust note is powerful, but some vibration is noticeable at idle. Weighing only 115 kg, it is lighter than some 125cc scooters. It offers two riding modes: Street mode, which features an engine start/stop feature for better mileage, and Race mode, which offers more power and comes with the TVS iGO assist feature.

**Final View**
While opinions on the design may vary, the ride and handling are undeniably impressive. It offers great confidence during cornering. The braking is also swift and reliable. The front brake provides excellent grip, and the ABS prevents wheel lockup. However, some features are missing, such as keyless start, and self-canceling indicators. The under-seat space could be larger, and 14-inch tires might have been preferable to the 12-inch wheels. Nevertheless, the TVS Ntorq 150 is one of the most advanced and feature-loaded petrol scooters in India. If you seek a scooter with an aggressive look and a wealth of features, this could be an excellent choice.

In the Indian market, the scooter will compete with models like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Hero Xoom 160.

To differentiate between the two models, TVS might introduce some changes in the new 150cc scooter, such as larger wheels. The upcoming TVS NTORQ 150 is likely to feature a digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and single-channel ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). While the engine details of the NTORQ 150 are not yet available, it is anticipated to have a brand-new engine. Upon launch, this new TVS 150cc scooter will compete with the Hero Xoom 160 and Yamaha Aerox 155. The expected starting price is around Rs 1.5 lakh (ex-showroom).

In related news, the domestic two-wheeler manufacturer recently launched its third electric scooter, the TVS Orbiter, in India. Priced at Rs 99,900, this scooter directly competes with the Ather Rizta. The Orbiter is equipped with a 3.1kWh battery pack and an electric motor, offering a range of 158 km. It boasts several advanced features, including connected technology, TVS Smart ZONECT app support, OTA updates, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, an instrument cluster, USB charging, and more.

The TVS Orbiter features 14-inch front and 12-inch rear alloy wheels with low rolling resistance tires. It has a ground clearance of 165 mm and a 34-liter under-seat storage compartment. Design highlights include a large LED headlight, an LED taillight bar, LED turn indicators, a small windscreen, a straight-line footboard, a wide handlebar, an easy-access box, and a USB charging port. This new TVS electric scooter is available in six color options: Martian Copper, Lunar Grey, Stratos Blue, Cosmic Titanium, Neon Sunburst, and Stellar Silver.

Details about the scooter’s engine are not yet available, but it is expected to have a 150cc engine, generating approximately 12 bhp. It will compete with the Yamaha Aerox 155, Aprilia SR 160, and Hero’s upcoming Zoom 160. The TVS scooter might feature larger 14-inch wheels, a rear disc brake, and a smart connected system with a TFT screen, along with various ride modes and connected functions. With the tagline “Don’t feel the same,” TVS is positioning this scooter for thrill-seekers. Deliveries are expected to begin shortly after the official launch. It could also include 14-inch alloy wheels on both sides, a first for a TVS scooter.

The current NTorq 125, launched in 2018, has dominated the sporty 125cc scooter segment in India for seven years, with several updates and special editions like the Marvel-inspired Super Squad variant. The new NTorq 150 aims to build upon that legacy with more power, larger wheels, and bolder styling.

The teaser suggests the new Ntorq 150 will directly challenge established models like the Yamaha Aerox 155 and Aprilia SR175. The scooter is expected to feature a quad-projector LED headlight setup, while retaining design elements reminiscent of the current Ntorq. Rumors indicate the TVS Ntorq 150 will generate approximately 12 BHP of peak power and 13 N·m of torque, managed by a CVT gearbox. The teaser hints at enhanced acceleration thanks to the increased engine displacement. The exhaust note promises a deeper, bass-heavy sound. Expected features include disc brakes and a 5-inch TFT instrument screen, similar to the one found on the Raider 125.
