- The drum brake variant misses out on features such engine kill switch, USB charger and the underseat light.
- Bookings have already commenced for a token amount of Rs 5,000.
- Other than the braking hardware, both variants remain mechanically the same.
TVS has launched a drum brake variant of the Ntorq 125 at Rs 58,252 (ex-showroom Delhi). The new variant is Rs 1,648 more affordable than the disc brake variant. TVS dealers have already started accepting bookings for the new variant for a token amount of Rs 5,000.
While most of the features such as the digital instrument cluster and the LED DRLs have been retained in the drum brake variant, it misses out on features such as the engine kill switch, USB charger and underseat light. The other major difference between the two is the braking hardware. While the top-end variant features a disc brake at the front, the entry-level variant gets drum brakes at either end. However, as new safety norms are already in motion, both variants now get combined braking system (CBS) as standard. Both variants are powered by the same 124.79cc, single-cylinder motor that produces 9.4PS of power at 7500rpm and 10.5Nm of max torque at 5500rpm.
