People searching "Dio vs Ntorq" may mean either Dio, so we cover both. Honda scooters are sold in Nepal by Syakar; TVS by TVS Nepal. We use only their published figures and have not ridden these scooters, so there are no riding impressions here. Full spec sheets: Dio 110, Dio 125 and Ntorq 125.

Two clear differences on paper: the Ntorq has 12-inch wheels front and rear, while both Dios have a 10-inch rear wheel; and the Dios are 12–15 kg lighter. The Dio 125 also has the most ground clearance here, 171 mm. The RTFI page lists 180 mm for that version, more than the other Ntorq pages.

Check the brake. The Ntorq Disc FI page lists a 220 mm front disc but also mentions a 130 mm drum front-brake version, and the RTFI page does the same, so look at the unit you are buying. TVS's SBT is its synchronised braking system. No scooter here publishes ABS.

Features: what you get

Honda Dio 110: LED headlamp and position lamp, an "intelligent" meter showing real-time mileage, average mileage and distance to empty, an external fuel lid (no need to lift the seat to refuel), silent start, and a side-stand engine cut-off listed as optional.

Honda Dio 125: LED split position lamp and headlamp, smart digital meter with the same mileage and range readouts, an idling stop system, side-stand cut-off, external fuel lid, 18-litre under-seat storage, and a 3-step adjustable rear shock. The DLX adds a smart key (Honda's H-Smart).

TVS Ntorq 125 Disc FI: a Bluetooth-connected digital console that TVS says has 60 features, with call, SMS and navigation alerts, plus an LED headlamp and daytime running lights.

TVS Ntorq 125 XP: more power (10.2 PS), Street and Race riding modes, voice assist, a wider rear tyre, and TVS's claimed 0–60 km/h in 8.6 seconds.

Mileage

Neither Honda Nepal nor TVS Nepal publishes a fuel-economy figure for these scooters. Honda says only that fuel injection and idling stop save fuel on the Dio 125. Figures quoted elsewhere online do not come from the distributors, so we do not repeat them.

The Dio's meter shows real-time and average mileage, so you can measure your own. To turn that into money: fuel cost per km = Rs 200 (Nepal Oil Corporation petrol price, October 2026) ÷ your km per litre. If you are open to electric, compare running costs in our petrol vs electric two-wheeler guide.

EMI example

Lenders regulated by Nepal Rastra Bank can finance at most 60% of a vehicle's price. Neither Honda nor TVS publishes a scooter loan rate on these pages, so as an example only we use 8.99% over 36 months, the two-wheeler rate Bajaj's finance partner announced in July 2026 (The Himalayan Times):

Ask the showroom's finance partner for its real rate and fees, and try your own numbers in the EMI calculator. Our bike and scooter loan guide covers the paperwork.

Which should you buy?

• Dio 110 if you want the lowest price and the lightest scooter for short city trips, and you accept drum brakes.
• Dio 125 if you want a front disc, 18 litres of storage, idling stop and the most ground clearance, at Rs 21,000 more than the Ntorq Disc FI.
• Ntorq 125 Disc FI if you want more power and a Bluetooth console for the least money among the 125s.
• Ntorq 125 XP if riding modes and the extra power matter; it costs about the same as a Dio 125 DLX.

Before you buy, check the front brake on the exact unit, whether the side-stand cut-off is fitted on a Dio 110, and the warranty terms (none of these pages states them).
