ZigSays

Both of these 125cc sporty scooters offer a lot of performance when compared to the normal family scooters. Although the top XT variant of the TVS Ntorq makes more power, it is significantly more expensive than the Xoom 125 ZX variant. The Xoom 125 still claims to have a faster 0 to 60kmph timing too. Both of the scooters are also equally practical.

That said, Hero has a pretty well sorted service network with a consistent service experience. TVS, on the other hand, has some service inconsistencies with reported issues with ready availability of spares. However, the Ntorq has been around for a while now and is a very well made scooter without any major build-quality issues. However, we are yet to ride the Xoom 125, and can only tell you more about it after we can swing a leg over it. 

While we know the Ntorq is a pretty fun scooter, we can expect the Xoom to be quite similar.
