Most affordable scooters with ABS in India

-

ABS technology has gradually made its way from premium motorcycles to the scooter segment, offering more riders with better safety and confidence. For the millions of scooter riders navigating the often unpredictable road conditions in our country, ABS can be a crucial safety net.

This list of affordable ABS scooters is likely to change dramatically from January 2026 onwards, when the government is expected to make ABS mandatory on all new two-wheelers regardless of engine capacity. For now though, ABS remains a premium feature primarily found on higher-end scooters. 

5. Yamaha Aerox 155

The Yamaha Aerox 155 is priced at Rs 1.54 lakh

The Yamaha Aerox 155 was one of the earlier launches in this segment and quickly caught the attention of enthusiasts, not just for its unconventional styling (compared to most scooters in India) but also for its engine, which is heavily derived from the R15’s unit. It features Yamaha’s VVA technology and produces 14.75hp and 13.9Nm. The Aerox 155 comes equipped with single-channel ABS as standard and also offers premium features such as keyless ignition, traction control, and smartphone connectivity for call and message alerts.

4. Ola S1 Pro+ 3rd Gen

Prices for the Ola S1 Pro+ 3rd Gen start at Rs 1.49 lakh

 

The Ola S1 Pro+ is currently the brand’s flagship model and offers dual-channel ABS, unlike the standard S1 Pro that misses out on the safety feature. Launched earlier this year, the S1 Pro+ is available in two variants – 4kWh and 5.3kWh. The latter uses Ola’s in-house 4680 cell, which the company claims delivers an impressive 320km IDC range. Performance figures are equally bold, with claimed top speeds of 128kph and 141kph for the two variants.

3. Hero Xoom 160

The Hero Xoom 160 is priced at Rs 1.49 lakh

The Hero Xoom 160 marks the company’s entry into the maxi-scooter space. First showcased at Auto Expo 2025, it has now begun reaching dealerships and customer deliveries are underway. Like most scooters in this segment, it features a rear drum brake and single-channel ABS. Power comes from a new 156cc liquid-cooled engine that produces 14.6hp and 14Nm. In our first ride review, we found the motor to build speed steadily, even beyond 80kph. Priced at Rs 1,48,500, the Xoom 160 is also a little more affordable than the Ola S1 Pro+, which is why it ranks higher on this list.

2. Aprilia SR 175

Prices for the Aprilia SR 175 start at Rs 1.31 lakh

The Aprilia SR 175 has the largest engine displacement among the regular contenders on this list, with its 174.7cc motor producing 12.9hp and 14.1Nm. It replaced the SR 160 in Aprilia’s India lineup and introduced updates such as a TFT display and a refreshed design, while the rest of the scooter remains largely unchanged. It comes with a single-channel ABS.

1. TVS Ntorq 150

Prices for the TVS Ntorq 150 start at Rs 1.19 lakh

The TVS Ntorq 150 takes the crown as the most affordable scooter with ABS in India. While rivals like the Hero Xoom 160 and Yamaha Aerox 155 use liquid-cooled engines, TVS has opted for an air-cooled unit on the larger Ntorq – a likely contributor to its more aggressive pricing. The 149.7cc, three-valve engine produces 13.2hp and 14.2Nm. Buyers can also opt for a higher-spec variant with a TFT display, priced at Rs 10,000 more.

Honorable mentions

Now, we know what you're thinking – calling these next two scooters "affordable" might be stretching the definition a bit. But, affordability is relative, after all. If you happen to have a significantly larger budget (and we mean significantly larger), these premium options also come with ABS:

BMW C 400 GT

Priced at Rs 11.75 lakh

If you’re looking for the best bang for your buck, the BMW C 400 GT is probably not the scooter for you. But its 350cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivers 34hp and 35Nm, offering performance on par with many motorcycles and more than twice as much as the scooters above. The C 400 GT features BMW’s ABS Pro system with DBC (Dynamic Brake Control), essentially the brand’s take on cornering ABS. As expected at this price point, it comes loaded with premium kit, including a 6.5-inch TFT display, full-LED lighting, keyless ignition, and ride-by-wire throttle. Buyers can further enhance it with options like heated grips and seats, or even upgrade to a larger 10.25-inch TFT display.

Honda X-ADV

Priced at Rs 11.91 lakh

The Honda X-ADV pushes the boundaries of what a scooter can be, blending adventure motorcycle capability with everyday scooter convenience. It’s the largest-capacity and only parallel-twin scooter on sale in India, powered by a 745cc engine that produces 58.6hp and 69Nm – serious performance for a scooter. Beyond its ABS system, the X-ADV comes equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), multiple riding modes, and a dual-clutch transmission (DCT), similar to the system seen on the Africa Twin.

All prices are ex-showroom.

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise.

Honda Amaze diesel discontinued ahead of RDE norms implementation

Honda  has officially delisted the Amaze  diesel model from its website. The compact sedan was the final diesel model in its segment that currently comprises of the Hyundai Aura , Tata Tigor and the Maruti Suzuki Dzire . Amaze diesel was available in three trims Was the only diesel automatic model in its segment Honda Amaze diesel: reason for discontinuation As we've reported before, the upcoming implementation of the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) norms in India from April 2023 is the key reason for the Amaze's diesel engine being dropped.  Upgrading diesel engines to meet the new stringent emissions regulations is expensive. This, combined with the low demand for diesel in this segment, meant that there was little business case for the Amaze diesel. Currently, Honda has only two diesel-powered models on sale in India – the  WR-V  and  5th gen City .  However, these cars, too, are slated to be axed as the brand  will cease producing diese...
