The TVS NTorq, which is a Bluetooth-connected scooter, is paired to the TVS Connect app and the race edition users can access a special race-inspired User Interface.
The Race Edition, which comes with signature LED DRLs and LED headlamp, also has a hazard lamp enabled by a red-coloured hazard switch. The scooter comes in a three-tone combination of matte black, metallic black and metallic red colour.
Commenting on the launch, Aniruddha Haldar, vice- president (Marketing) – Commuter Motorcycles, Scooters & Corporate Brand, TVS Motor Company, said, “Since its launch, the TVS NTorq 125 has become a darling of Gen Z customers. Apart from its striking appearance and the TVS SmartXonnect feature, it is the performance which has been the hallmark of the TVS NTorq 125 experience. The scooter is built on a rich pedigree of 37 years of TVS Racing and the Race Edition is launched to celebrate the same. Today, nearly 400,000 youthful consumers are proud NTorqians and with this launch we are confident of growing this tribe.”
