Performance Comparison: TVS NTorq 125 Race XP vs Ather 450X

Jul-Wed-2022

Here's how the two sporty scooters fare in the real world in terms of performance.

 

Scooters are the most convinient way to commute on a daily basis,mainly the sporty ones scales up the experience to next level.The performance scooter segment as well as electrical scooter segment are well adopted in India.When we compare the  best model of both the segments,one which is more reliable e-scooter,while the other from the 125cc space.The Ather 450X and the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP,compete with each other in regards to the real-world performance.

Both the scooters are performance - oriented and manage to do better than their competitors in their segment.Ather manager to get ahead of NTorq just slightly in the 0-40 run by more than a second in the 0-60kmph sprint.This is due to the 450X's 6KW electric motor producing a whooping  26Nm which is far 15Nm better than NTorq's 124.8cc engine.

With the "Wrap Mode",the 450X darts off the line with great excitement by rapidly gaining momentum.NTorq even does not dissapoint when it comes to acceleration and delivering a strong performance from start to 60kmph. It even is capable of going quicker than 90kmph which is where the 450X is restricted to.

  • Ather is Upgrading 450X & 450 Plus to Fend Off Increasing Competition.

Even in the roll - on acceleration test, the Ather takes a win by almost a second to spare as compared to Ntorq.Despite Ntorq's healthy mid - range surge which would not match the instant shot of torque that the Ather possess from decent commuting speeds.Its body is very light aerodynamic and frugal.

One place where the Ather 450X lacks is the braking.Even if it gets discs on both ends with the CBS, the braking hardware feels too sharp on moments,causing the rear to slide more often than not.NTorq's more predictable braking system helps it to stop sooner and in a calmer manner.

 

 

When compared to the fuel efficiency/range test is not the same level for both scooters,considering each performances offer decent figures.Here Ather would take 3.5 hours to charge the battery to the max level but the NTorq will take seconds to fill 5.8 ltrs fuel tank.In a sense it would give NTorq more range compared to Ather which seems more cost effective.
