Aprilia Storm 125 comparo

In a bid to further lower the entry point to own a sporty Aprilia scooter, the Italian brand has launched the Storm 125 in the country. It is priced at Rs 65,000 ex-showroom Pune, and goes head-to-head against the Honda Grazia, TVS NTorq 125, Hero Maestro Edge 125 and Suzuki Burgman Street. Here’s how it performs against its rivals spec-wise:

The most powerful among the lot?

Specifications

Aprilia Storm

Honda Grazia

TVS NTorq 125

Hero Maestro Edge 125 (carb)

Suzuki Burgman Street

Engine

124.49cc 3-valve air-cooled

124.9cc air-cooled

124.79cc 3-valve air-cooled

124.6cc OHC air-cooled

124cc SOHC 2-valve air-cooled

Peak power

9.65PS at 7250rpm

8.6PS at 6500rpm

9.38PS at 7500rpm

9.24PS at 7000rpm

8.7PS at 7000rpm

Maximum torque

9.9Nm at 6250rpm

10.54Nm at 5000rpm

10.5Nm at 5500rpm

10.2Nm at 5000rpm

10.2Nm at 5000rpm

Fuel tank capacity

6.5 litres

5.3 litres

5 litres

5.5 litres

5.6 litres

Among the five scooters, the Honda Grazia is the torquiest. It also makes its peak torque at fairly low revs, which should offer brisker acceleration theoretically. However, when it comes to power output, it’s the Storm which trumps the rest. In terms of fuel tank capacity too, the Aprilia Storm leads the pack comfortably. This should result in a relatively greater range, at least on paper.

Superior underpinnings?

In terms of underpinnings, it’s the TVS NTorq which has the most sophisticated one. It not only has a bigger front disc than the rest but also gets more sophisticated gas-charged rear suspension. The NTorq 125 also gets petal disc in place of a conventional one which should offer relatively better heat dissipation. That said, it has slightly slimmer tyres compared to the Storm, the latter of which gets what looks like dual purpose chunky tyres. Also, all the scooters get CBS as standard to comply with the new safety norms that require the feature to be compulsorily present on all two-wheelers below 125cc.

Value-for-money-proposition?

 

Aprilia Storm

TVS NTorq 125

Hero Maestro Edge 125 (carb)

Suzuki Burgman Street

Pricing (ex-showroom Pune)

Rs 65,000

Rs 65,633

Rs 65,362

Rs 62,300

Rs 70,878

Stand-out features

Sporty styling, chunky off-road-like tyres

LED headlamp, 3-in-1 lock switch

Full LCD instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation

Two-tone paint scheme, especially the black bodywork with red floorboard

Properly European maxi-scooter type styling, LED headlamp, full LCD instrument cluster

Overall, the TVS NTorq offers the best value considering the amount of feature it offers. Moreover, it is only about Rs 300 more expensive than the Aprilia and is a much better all-round package as far as styling, dynamics and features are concerned. That said, if you’re really under a tight budget, then the Hero Maestro Edge 125 makes sense. However, its styling will appeal to a more mature audience.

New Benelli TNT 600i Images Revealed

This is the second instance where images of the new Benelli have been surfaced online. The images reveal a completely redesigned headlamp unit and a split-seat setup.  Mechanically, it might get the same cycle parts as the current model.    Earlier this month, we brought you some spy shots of the all-new Benelli TNT 600i , which seemed to be a production-ready model. However, a new set of images have surfaced online of the updated TNT 600i, which appears to be slightly different than before. We have done a detailed story when the bike was first spotted, which you can read over here . This time around, new studio shots reveal that Benelli might either offer the new TNT 600i in two variants or that the final design of the motorcycle is still under works.     With the new TNT 600i, Benelli is going for an all-new design philosophy, which might trickle down to its smaller capacity bikes in the future. If you look closely, you’ll see that the tank is a bit...
