The scooter makes over 20hp and can hit speeds above 100kph. However, you can’t buy this bike. TVS’ Ntorq SXR is the Hosur-based manufacturer’s latest machine, which will take part in scooter rallies across the country, taking the place of the earlier SXR 160.
Based on the Ntorq 125, the rally-spec scooter has undergone extensive modifications so that it can handle tricky territory. The company said it modified the bike’s intake and exhaust system for better performance along with a reworked ignition system. Since this is a race-spec scooter the company didn’t divulge too many details. B Selvaraj, Team Manager, TVS Racing said, “The TVS SXR 160 has always been a formidable machine in the scooter racing arena.
With the debut of Ntorq SXR, we are confident to take the performance up by several notches. We have tested the scooter for performance and reliability and I am confident it will set new benchmarks in the scooter class. The TVS Racing scooter team holds a strong winning record and the Ntorq SXR will build on this success story.”
The scooter debuted at the fourth round of Indian National Rally Championship (INRC) on May 25 in Nashik, and was piloted by three-time national champion, Asif Ali and his team-mate Shamim Khan.
