TVS Ntorq Goes Stealth Black

The streets of Nepal just got a dose of adrenaline with the arrival of the TVS NTorq 125 Race XP in its striking new Matte Black avatar. Priced at Rs. 3.25 Lakhs, this scooter isn’t just a mode of transport—it’s a statement. As the most premium variant in TVS’s NTorq lineup, the Race XP combines raw power, futuristic design, and intelligent features, all wrapped in a stealthy Matte Black finish that daunts onlookers. Let’s dive into what makes this scooter a game-changer.

A Shadowy Masterpiece: Design & Aesthetics

The new Matte Black color isn’t just a coat of paint—it’s a transformation. Inspired by stealth aircraft styling, the NTorq Race XP Black exudes aggression with its sharp lines, checkered flag decals, and faux carbon fiber accents. The glossy-matte duality, paired with fiery red alloy wheels and subtle grey undertones, creates a mesmerizing contrast.

The front retains its signature T-shaped LED DRLs and quad-LED headlamps, ensuring visibility while adding a futuristic flair. Though the silhouette remains unchanged, the darker palette amplifies its muscular stance. Features like the two-level seat, afterburner-styled rear, and LED tail lamp stay true to the NTorq’s DNA, but the refined graphics and glossy finishes elevate its premium appeal.

This isn’t just a scooter; it’s a head-turner designed for riders who crave dominance on the road.

Unleashing the Beast: Performance Upgrades

At its core lies a 124.79cc, 3-valve, fuel-injected engine that churns out 10.2PS of power and 10.8Nm of torque—numbers that outshine most 125cc rivals. The “XP” (Extra Power) badge isn’t just for show: compared to its predecessor, the Race XP packs 1.3PS more power and 0.3Nm extra torque, translating to quicker acceleration and smoother overtakes.

Mated to an automatic centrifugal clutch, the engine promises responsive throttle control, whether zipping through Kathmandu’s chaos or cruising on open highways. TVS claims a fuel efficiency of 50kmpl, though the added power might tempt riders to push limits, potentially trading mileage for thrills.

The Race XP also introduces Ride Modes—Eco and Power—letting riders toggle between fuel-saving commutes and spirited rides. Combine this with a lighter 111kg kerb weight (7kg shed from older models), and you’ve got a scooter that’s as agile as it is potent.

Tech-Savvy & Feature-Rich

TVS hasn’t cut corners on tech. The Race XP boasts:

Bluetooth Connectivity: Sync your smartphone to the 5-inch digital console for calls, music, and navigation alerts.

Voice Assist: Control functions hands-free—perfect for navigating busy streets.

Under-Seat Storage: A 20-liter compartment fits helmets or groceries, complemented by a boot light and USB charging port.

Safety First: Sync Braking Technology (SBT) ensures balanced braking, while telescopic front suspension and rear coil springs tackle Nepal’s uneven roads.

However, it’s worth noting the absence of Yamaha Ray ZR 125’s features like auto start/stop or side-stand engine cutoff. Yet, the NTorq fights back with a larger instrument cluster, LED lighting (including pass-by and hazard lights), and that addictive engine growl.

Pricing & Competition

At Rs. 3.26 Lakhs, the Race XP sits above the standard NTorq 125 FI, justified by its performance upgrades and exclusivity. While it’s Rs. 16,000 pricier than the outgoing RTFI variant, the premium buys you sharper graphics, a peppier engine, and the allure of a limited-edition release.

Competing against the Yamaha Ray ZR 125, the NTorq trades some tech (like silent start) for brute power and bold styling. The Yamaha appeals to efficiency seekers, but TVS targets thrill-seekers who prioritize performance and presence.
