Cons

Pricing

The TVS Ntorq comes with a starting price of Rs 84,636 (ex-showroom) and goes up to Rs 1.05 lakh (ex-showroom). This price tag is a bit steep for a scooter. At the same price tag customers can purchase a motorcycle which gives more features and better performance as compared to a scooter. The pricing of the TVS Ntorq could've been more affordable.

Low Fuel Efficiency

The Ntorq's engine is tuned for performance and being a high-revving engine it does not offer good fuel efficiency. The Ntorq offers an efficiency of 35-40 kmpl which is quite low for a 125cc scooter. The mileage of the scooter will drop significantly if you drive it aggressively and in traffic conditions.

Mediocre Ride Quality

When we buy a scooter, we buy it for its comfort but TVS Ntorq falls short on this aspect. The Ntorq offers a stiffer suspension setup and on rough patched, it does give a jerk on your back. While the high-speed stability is good, that's not something you need for your daily chores and in the city, it does feel a bit uncomfortable

Not A Practical Option In The Segment

The Ntorq is a performance-oriented sporty scooter and it falls short of the practicality aspect that a scooter offers. It does not get any storage area in the rider footrest area, the under-seat storage needs to be unlocked through a different keyhole and can't be operated via a single ignition keyhole. Also, the under-seat storage is not as good as other scooters in the segment. Moreover, the fuel-filler lock is also located at the back which could've been given near the ignition keyhole.
