There's no denying that the Ntorq is beginning to show its age, with no major design updates since its launch.

Hero Xoom 125 vs TVS Ntorq comparison image gallery

The sporty 125cc scooter segment has been dominated by the Ntorq for years, with no real contenders coming close. Hero is now aiming to change that with the Xoom 125, its latest shot at making a mark in this category. While both scooters cater to a similar crowd, they deliver noticeably contrasting riding experiences.

Both scooters are styled to grab attention, and the Xoom 125 features a sleek, modern design that looks sharper and more upmarket than its 110cc counterpart. Its 14-inch alloy wheels, clean-cut lines, and sequential indicators add a dash of youth to its otherwise mature appearance.

The Ntorq Race XP, on the other hand, opts for a sportier look with bold graphics, faux carbon-fibre accents, noticeably better build quality, and a slightly more muscular stance.
