2018 TVS Ntorq 125 launched in Metallic Red paint option

TVS Motor Company has managed to sell 1 lakh units of the TVS Ntorq 125 scooter within six months of its launch in India. Now, the company has launched a new Metallic Red paint option for the Ntorq 125 in the country, just before the festive season begins in the country. The TVS Ntorq 125 was launched in India in February 2018. At the time, it was the first scooter to feature smart connectivity in the country with SmartXonnect.

Just earlier today, Aprilia and Vespa launched their updated scooter models which now feature the same as well. TVS had launched two metallic paint options for the scooter in April as well, as it was originally only available in four matte-finish options. The Ntorq 125 competes with the Suzuki Access 125 and the Honda Grazia in its segment.
