The TVS Ntorq 150 uses a 149.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that puts out 13.2hp at 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 14.2Nm at 5,500rpm (including 0.7Nm from iGO electric boost). The scooter gets two ride modes – Street and Race – each with a different mapping. For our performance runs, we tested the scooter in Race mode, and here are the numbers.
TVS Ntorq 150: Acceleration
During our test, the conditions were mainly dry.
The Ntorq 150 has impressive acceleration in Race mode, taking 2.68 seconds to get to 40kph, 5.41 seconds to 60kph and 10.12 seconds to 80kph. For an unrestricted launch, we switched off the traction control system in our test. The scooter feels quick off the line and has an engaging exhaust note as the revs climb.
TVS Ntorq 150: Roll-on acceleration
The scooter is quick and makes overtakes effortlessly.
In our roll-on acceleration tests, the scooter took 3.08 seconds in the 20-50kph run and 6.38 seconds in both the 30-70kph and 50-80kph runs. With a kerb weight of 115kg, the Ntorq 150 feels lightweight and nimble when it comes to handling and filtering through heavy traffic.
TVS Ntorq 150: Braking
Precise and sharp brakes.
The Ntorq 150 gets a 220mm disc brake at the front and a 130mm drum brake at the rear. In our braking test, it came to a stop fairly quickly and stably, with tyres offering adequate grip. The ABS intervention is minimal, and overall, the brakes do a good job considering the performance levels.
TVS Ntorq 150: Specifications and price
The Ntorq 150’s ex-showroom prices start at Rs 1.09 lakh and go up to Rs 1.18 lakh.
The Ntorq 150 is offered in two variants, where the main difference is that the top variant uses a TFT screen and the base variant gets an LCD screen. The base variant also misses out on the navigation switches and features such as smartwatch integration and live vehicle tracking.
