TVS Raider Super Squad Editions: Deadpool & Wolverine Bikes Hit the Streets
TVS launches Deadpool and Wolverine-inspired Raider Super Squad Editions at Rs. 99,465, blending superhero flair with commuter style.
TVS Motor Company is gearing up to shake up India’s sporty scooter scene with the much-anticipated launch of the TVS Ntorq 150, set for September 2025. Following the success of the Ntorq 125, which carved a niche in the 125cc segment since its 2018 debut, TVS is now stepping into the competitive 150-160cc category. The Ntorq 150 is poised to take on heavyweights like the Yamaha Aerox 155, Hero Xoom 160, and Aprilia SXR 160, promising a thrilling blend of style, performance, and tech. Here’s what we know so far about this exciting new scooter.
A Sporty Evolution in Design
The Ntorq 150 builds on the bold, aggressive styling of its 125cc sibling but takes it up a notch. Teasers reveal a striking quad-LED headlamp setup with a signature T-shaped DRL, a design element seen in other TVS models like the Ronin. The front apron sports sharper, more angular lines, giving the scooter a muscular and dynamic look. Expect sporty graphics, split seating, and large black alloy wheels—likely 14-inch ones for enhanced stability and road presence. LED tail lamps and turn signals will add a modern touch, making the Ntorq 150 a head-turner in the scooter market.
This design evolution aims to appeal to young, thrill-seeking riders while maintaining the practicality that made the Ntorq 125 a hit. With competitors like the Yamaha Aerox 155 setting a high bar for aesthetics, TVS seems ready to deliver a scooter that’s both stylish and functional.

Powering Up with a New Engine
The heart of the Ntorq 150 is expected to be a brand-new 150cc engine, though details remain under wraps. While TVS doesn’t currently offer a liquid-cooled engine below 300cc, there’s speculation about whether the Ntorq 150 will feature a new liquid-cooled powerplant or an air-cooled unit derived from its 160cc motorcycle range. A liquid-cooled engine could deliver smoother performance and better efficiency, aligning with rivals like the Aerox 155 and Xoom 160. However, an air-cooled engine might keep costs down, allowing TVS to price the scooter competitively.
Rumors suggest the engine could produce around 12-15 horsepower, paired with a CVT gearbox for seamless power delivery. This setup would make the Ntorq 150 a strong contender in the performance-driven 150cc segment, offering a thrilling ride for urban commuters and enthusiasts alike.

Tech and Features Galore
TVS is known for packing its vehicles with cutting-edge technology, and the Ntorq 150 is expected to follow suit. A 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with SmartXonnect connectivity is likely to be a highlight, offering features like turn-by-turn navigation, call/message alerts, and possibly multiple ride modes. This tech suite, already a hit in models like the TVS Ntorq 125 XT, ensures the Ntorq 150 appeals to tech-savvy Gen Z riders.
Safety features should include at least single-channel ABS, mandated by regulations for scooters of this displacement. There’s also talk of a rear disc brake for improved stopping power, a feature that would set it apart in the segment. With 14-inch alloy wheels and a robust suspension setup, the Ntorq 150 promises better handling and stability, perfect for city streets and beyond.
