The NTorq is more feature packed in comparison – it gets Bluetooth connectivity, an underseat USB charging port, turn-by-turn navigation, voice assist, call/SMS alerts, and phone battery status across all variants. Meanwhile the Race XT variant offers a TFT console with two screens which shows caller ID, last parked location, live ride status sharing, and even live cricket score updates.
BikeDekho Says
Both scooters bring a lot to the table. The TVS NTorq 125 remains the king of the class, offering more power, features, and a more exciting ride. If you want a lightweight, efficient, tech-friendly scooter for daily use, the Dio 125 is a great pick. But if outright performance, features, and sporty appeal matter more, the NTorq 125 still holds its crown.

- Best stylish aur powerful 125cc scooterMujhe apne daily college jaane aur city ke kaam ke liye ek stylish aur powerful scooter chahiye tha. Market me bahut saare options the par unka look simple tha. Mujhe ek aisa scooter chahiye tha jiska design sporty ho. Honda Dio 125 ka look mujhe pahli nazar me pasand aa gaya. Iska look aur Honda ka bharosa, dono mil raha tha isiliye maine isko chuna. Is scooter ko chalane ka mera experience bahut badhiya raha hai. Iska 125cc ka engine bahut smooth hai aur traffic me pickup bhi zabardast milta hai. Long ride par seat bahut comfortable hai aur mujhe patna ke local traffic me isse lagbhag forty five se forty eight ka mileage aaram se mil jata hai. Main is scooter ko sabhi young logon aur college students ko lene ki salah dunga. Agar aapka budget ek premium scooter ka hai aur aap stylish look ke sath achha mileage aur majboot engine chahte hain to aapko bina soche is gadi ko kharidna chahiye, ye sach me ek paisa vasool scooter hai.Read More
