TVS NTorq 125 Race XP Review: Features, Mileage & Ride

The TVS NTorq 125 Race XP sits at the top of TVS’s sporty scooter lineup, aimed at riders who want performance without sacrificing everyday usability. With its race-inspired design, segment-first ride modes and connected tech, the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP positions itself as the most powerful 125cc scooter in India. But does it deliver beyond the spec sheet? Here’s a clear, no-nonsense review.

Engine & Performance

Powering the NTorq Race XP is a 124.8cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine paired with a CVT gearbox. In Race mode, it produces 10.2 PS, while Street mode delivers 9.4 PS—making it the most powerful scooter in its class. Torque stands at 10.5 Nm, offering strong initial acceleration and confident mid-range performance. Throttle response in Race mode is noticeably sharper, making overtakes easy in city traffic. The scooter feels lively up to 80 km/h, with a claimed top speed of around 98 km/h, which is impressive for a 125cc scooter.

Chassis & Handling

The NTorq 125 Race XP is built on a solid underbone frame with telescopic front forks and a rear gas-charged monoshock. This setup provides a good balance between comfort and control. The 12-inch wheels, wide tubeless tyres, and well-tuned suspension give the scooter stable handling, even at higher speeds. Braking duties are handled by a front disc and rear drum with SBT (combined braking), offering predictable stopping power for daily riding.

Technology & Features

One of the biggest highlights is TVS SmartXonnect, featuring a Bluetooth-enabled fully digital instrument cluster. It offers navigation assist, call and SMS alerts, lap timer, top speed recorder, and ride statistics. The Race XP also gets voice assist, external fuel fill, LED headlamp, and distinctive race graphics. For tech-savvy riders, this is one of the most feature-rich scooters in the segment.

Mileage & Practicality

Real-world TVS NTorq 125 mileage ranges between 35–40 km/l, depending on riding style and mode, while TVS claims around 42 km/l. The fuel tank capacity of 5.8 litres ensures decent range for daily commuting.

Conclusion

The TVS NTorq 125 Race XP is ideal for young riders and enthusiasts who want sporty performance, sharp styling, and advanced features in a practical package. It may not be the most fuel-efficient 125cc scooter, but its performance and technology more than compensate. If fun-to-ride character matters as much as daily usability, the NTorq Race XP stands out as a compelling choice.
