The 2025 update of the new Ather 450X equips it with the efficient MagicTwist system along with traction control. But this is no ordinary traction control system as Ather has built in three different modes to allow the rider to adjust the experience according to the terrain and their liking.

<p><a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/">Ather</a> has updated its popular 450 electric scooter&nbsp;range in India with performance and safety features.&nbsp;The entry-level <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/450s/">450S</a> is priced at Rs 1.30 lakh,&nbsp;while the Pro Pack option costs Rs 1.44 lakh.

<h2>2025 Ather 450S, 450X, 450 Apex: What’s New?</h2>

<p>Ather has added multi-mode traction control to the 450X and the 450 Apex for 2025. Riders now&nbsp;have access to three riding modes: Rally Mode for off-road excursions with controlled slip,&nbsp;Road Mode for regular use, and Rain Mode for added safety in wet or slippery conditions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The 2025 Ather 450 now features multi-compound tyres, developed in collaboration with MRF.&nbsp;Additionally, the updated 450X is equipped with Magic Twist (the brand’s exclusive active regenerative braking system),&nbsp;a feature that was previously exclusive to the 450 Apex and Rizta Z. With this,&nbsp;the Ather 450X 3.7kWh (IDC Range 161 kilometres) and the 450 Apex (IDC Range 157 kilometres) now have a TrueRange of up to 130 kilometres.&nbsp;Moreover, the 450X 2.9kWh (IDC Range 126 kilometres) and Ather 450S (IDC Range 122 kilometres) have an improved TrueRange of up to 105 kilometres.</p>

<p>Ather has equipped its 450 series with the latest AtherStack 6 software, bringing new features&nbsp;like the ‘Ping My Scooter’ function and WhatsApp notifications directly on the dashboard.</p>

<p>Commenting on the launch Ravneet S Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy said,&nbsp;‘The Ather 450 has been designed with performance at its core.&nbsp;Over the years we have been focusing on improving the performance of the 450-product lineup even further&nbsp;through continuous improvements in both software and hardware.&nbsp;Now, with the 2025 Ather 450, we are safety of the scooters with features like multi-mode traction&nbsp;control which is typically found in high-end motorcycles.&nbsp;This feature allows the rider to adapt to different road conditions with better control and stability.&nbsp;We are also introducing Magic Twist on the 450X&nbsp;after introducing it on the 450 Apex and the Rizta. We expect that these latest updates will offer a&nbsp;much-improved riding experience to scooter enthusiasts across the country.’</p>


Updated Ather 450S, 450X, 450 Apex Launched in India; Prices Start at Rs 1.30 Lakh

The 2025 Ather 450 series comes with a host of updates, such as multi-mode traction control, Magic Twist, and an enhanced TrueRange.

<p>Ather introduced their revolutionary Magic Twist regenerative braking system with the 450 Apex, a limited edition model. Then they brought traction control with the Rizta and now, you get the best of both worlds with the updated 450X…and also the new Apex. I got a chance to test out the Magic Twist and the updated traction control system on the new scooter at a go-kart track and even on some off-road patches. So, how good is the 450X now?</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/n1zqFDNCeAE?si=8D0u5vi9QkL4qFhH" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: New Modes and Regen</h2>

<p>The first thing I want to highlight is the multi-level traction control system. While the Rizta had a simpler on-and-off toggle, the new 450 scooters get multiple levels — Rain, Road and Rally. You can also completely switch it off if you want. As one would expect, the traction control system is the most active when you select Rain while Road is meant for daily usage.</p>

<p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/honda-activa-e-qc-1-bookings-commence-in-india-119454/">Honda Activa e, QC 1 Bookings Commence in India</a></p>

<p>In the Rally mode, the traction control is a lot more lenient and it allows you to kick up some dirt. We tested the modes on some loose sand and it worked really well. There is an appreciable difference when testing the scooter in extreme conditions. While the 450X, does not really need a traction control system, it is good to see it nonetheless.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Off Road" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-off-road.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The 450X still gets the same 8.4bhp motor that is capable of producing 26Nm. It is still just as fun to ride and just as responsive too. Ather has introduced a new set of tyres from MRF&nbsp;with the updated scooters. These tyres have been developed specially for the 450 and are meant to offer more range while not compromising grip. And I must say, that I hardly noticed any issue with the grip from the new rubber. Combined with the new regen braking, this setup is claimed to substantially increase the real-world range of the scooter. As per Ather, the TruRange of the 3.7kWh model has gone up from 105km to 130km. That is a healthy boost and we will be eager to test it out when we have the scooter for a longer time.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Tyres" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-tyres.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>What I do feel is a missed opportunity is that there is still no ABS. I think adding ABS over traction control would have been more useful. I did find myself locking the brakes a couple of times when on the track. While you may argue that people ride more gently on the road, let me remind you that the conditions out there can be rather unpredictable. Also, now that the 450X supports traction control modes and regen levels along with ride modes, I think that Ather should display them on the screen as well. This would help the rider in knowing what levels of various settings the scooter is in, rather than having to dig deep into menus.</p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Colour Options and UI Updates</h2>

<p>Ather has not changed any aspect of the scooter’s design so it remains the same as before. There are, however, two new colour options available now - Hyper Sand and Stealth Blue. I particularly like the Hyper Sand colour options as it has a nice finish and looks rather refreshing. As a bonus, if you get this colour option, you will not have to worry about the scooter looking dirty because of the shade.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Screen" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-screen.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>The new 450 scooters also get Atherstack 6 as part of the software suite. The instrument cluster is the same touch unit and is packed with features. However, the response is still lethargic when you use the map screen. There are noticeable stutters while you pan around. I also noticed that while most of the interface operation is smooth, there are the occasional hiccups and moments when the screen does not react as quickly.</p>

<h2>2025 Ather 450X Review: Is it better?</h2>

<p>Altogether, the 450X remains a smart and fast scooter that is more feature-rich than ever before. I feel the Magic Twist is a great addition and one that will find a lot of daily use. The traction control might be less useful but is a good safety feature still.</p>

<p><img alt="2025 Ather 450X Riding" src="/uploads/2025/01/2025-Ather-450X-riding.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>As for the pricing, it has gone up ever so slightly by Rs 6,400 for the base 450X and Rs 2,000 for the 450X with the bigger 3.7kWh battery pack.</p>

<p><strong>Also Read:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/news/bike-news/updated-ather-450s-450x-450-apex-launched-in-india-prices-start-at-rs-130-lakh-119474/">Updated Ather 450S, 450X, 450 Apex Launched in India; Prices Start at Rs 1.30 Lakh</a></p>

<p>Similarly, the 450 Apex has also seen a mere increase of Rs 5,001 on the effective ex-showroom price in Bengaluru. And Ather is throwing in the Halo helmet with the Apex to make it more lucrative. Altogether, despite the price hike, the scooters remain smart and safe options to pick if you are looking for an EV in this segment.<br />

2025 Ather 450X Review: The e-scooter for Rallying?

Ather is not sitting on its laurels and is taking every opportunity to make its 450 range as robust and high-tech as possible.

<p>Ather Energy has announced that prices for its electric scooters, including the Ather 450S and the recently introduced Ather Rizta, will increase starting January 2025. The company attributes the price hike to rising input costs and other market factors affecting the electric vehicle industry. The upcoming price increase could impact potential buyers considering a shift to electric mobility. This change reflects EV manufacturers' broader challenges in maintaining affordability while adapting to changing economic conditions. Those planning to purchase an Ather scooter may want to do so before the price adjustment takes effect.</p>

<p>The brand’s lineup, which includes models such as the Rizta, 450X, 450 Apex, and others, will soon become more expensive, with prices increasing by approximately Rs&nbsp;5,000. The exact adjustment will depend on the specific model.&nbsp;The Rizta is available at an initial price tag of Rs 1.37 lakh for the S variant, while the top-tier Z variant&nbsp;is priced at Rs 1.64 lakh. Buyers can choose to add the optional Pro Pack, which offers additional features to enhance ownership convenience, though it comes at an extra cost.</p>

<p>In the 450 series, the 450S is the most budget-friendly model, priced at Rs 1.57 lakh. The mid-range 450X is offered at Rs 1.61 lakh for the 2.9kWh version and Rs 1.69 lakh for the 3.7kWh version, both of which can also include the Pro Pack for an added fee. The flagship model in the lineup, the 450 Apex, is sold as a single variant priced at Rs 1.95 lakh.</p>

<h2>Ather&nbsp;450S, 450X, 450 Apex, and Rizta: Mechanical Details</h2>

<p>The Ather 450S is equipped with a 2.9kWh battery pack paired with a 7bhp, 22Nm motor. It delivers a top speed of 90km/h and a certified range of 115km, though its real-world range is closer to 90km. It accelerates from 0 to 40km/h in 3.9 seconds and can be fully charged in about 8.5 hours using the standard 350-watt charger, with an optional 750-watt charger available for faster charging.</p>

<p>The Ather 450X Gen3 features an 8.31bhp&nbsp;motor and offers two battery options: a 2.9kWh pack with a 111km range and a 3.7kWh pack with a 150km range. It reaches 0 to 40km/h in 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of 90km/h.</p>

<p>The Ather 450 Apex uses the same 3.7kWh battery as the 450X but pairs it with a 9.3bhp&nbsp;motor. It boasts an IDC range of 157km, aided by regenerative braking and an innovative energy management system called 'Magic Twist,' which allows deceleration by twisting the throttle backward. This system ensures consistent performance regardless of the battery's state of charge.</p>

<p>The Ather Rizta also offers two battery options – a 2.9kWh pack with an IDC range of 123km and a 3.7kWh pack with an IDC range of 159km. Real-world ranges are approximately 105km and 125km, respectively. Both batteries are IP67-rated and power a mid-drive motor producing 5.76bhp and 22Nm of torque. The Rizta’s top speed is 80km/h.</p>


Ather Rizta, 450S, and More to Become Expensive from January 2025

This upcoming price hike from Ather reflects a common industry practice of raising prices at the start of the year to account for higher production costs.

<p>Ather Energy has announced an updated battery warranty for its <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/450s/">Ather 450</a> series and the new <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/rizta/">Rizta</a> electric scooters. The new warranty extends coverage to 8 years or 80,000 km, providing better assurance for customers regarding long-term battery performance. This update aims to address concerns around battery life, a key consideration for electric vehicle owners. Both the Ather 450 and Rizta models continue to offer strong performance, smart features, and an eco-friendly transportation option. With the extended warranty, Ather looks to strengthen its presence in the electric scooter market and increase customer confidence in its products. This move adds value to the scooters and enhances their appeal to potential buyers.</p>

<h2>Ather Updates Battery Warranty for its Models</h2>

<p>Ather has introduced an 8-year or 80,000 km warranty that covers battery degradation beyond 70%. Called the Eight70TM, it can be transferred to a new owner if the scooter is sold. This warranty also safeguards against issues like deep discharge, which can occur if the scooter is not used for extended periods. Additionally, it includes free labour charges for any warranty-related repairs. Before this, the EV manufacturer provided&nbsp;a 5-year or 60,000 km warranty for new customers who opted for the Pro Pack.</p>

<p>Commenting on the occasion, Ravneet Singh Phokela, Chief Business Officer, Ather Energy Limited, said, 'Battery durability is a crucial factor for EV buyers. We often hear about customers' apprehensions regarding the longevity and replacement costs of the batteries of their electric scooters. Understanding this concern, we have introduced our new Eight70TM Warranty, which provides 70% battery health assurance for up to 8 years. We believe that this warranty will eliminate any worries and concerns EV buyers may have regarding the long-term health of their scooter batteries.'</p>


Ather 450, Rizta Electric Scooters Get New 8-Year/80,000 Km Battery Warranty

The extended warranty by Ather also safeguards against issues like deep discharge, which can occur if the scooter is not used for extended periods.

<p><strong>autoX Awards 2024: </strong>After launching a slew of 450 scooters, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/">Ather</a> introduced the Rizta – a versatile electric scooter designed for the whole family. The idea was simple – build an electric scooter that’s feature-rich, spacious, and practical. And Ather successfully brought the idea to life.</p>

<p>Although I am not a fan of the Rizta’s design, for it looks rather odd from certain angles, it does have a remarkably long seat – long and comfortable enough for two people and a large bag. And if you need more space, there is also a cavernous 34-litre compartment under it – one of the largest in the segment and spacious enough to house a full-size helmet. The 7-inch instrument cluster is not touch-enabled, and the UI is also simpler compared to that of the 450X. You get a joystick to navigate through the menus, and while there is nothing wrong with that, we did notice occasional lags, which somewhat marred the experience.</p>

<p><img alt="Ather Rizta Speedometer" src="/uploads/2024/11/Ather-Rizta-2.jpg" /></p>

<p>The Rizta is available with two battery options – 2.9kWh and 3.7kWh, both of which are paired with the same 5.7bhp motor delivering 22Nm of torque. Even though it does not come with the signature Warp mode, seen in other Ather offerings, the scooter is fairly quick for normal usage.</p>

<p>On the track, however, it was surprisingly one of the slower vehicles in our line-up partly due to its top speed being limited to 80km/h. That said, its suspension is well-tuned, which offers a remarkable riding experience on the road and it absorbs undulations and bumps better than many other scooters. It also comes with variable regeneration (Magic Twist) and a traction control system and the former is actually quite useful and works brilliantly.</p>

<p>That said, we did notice a slight dip in terms of the Rizta’s overall quality compared to other Ather models – nothing alarming, but a step down nonetheless. Lastly, opting for the bigger battery and all the fancy features brings the price close to that of a 200cc motorcycle, which naturally detracts from its value-for-money appeal.</p>

autoX Awards 2024: Ather Rizta Performance, Quality and Value for Money Ranked

autoX Awards 2024: The Ather Rizta's suspension is well-tuned, offering a remarkable riding experience on the road and absorbing undulations and bumps better than many other scooters.

<p>Ather Energy recently filed a&nbsp;draft red herring prospectus (DRHP)&nbsp;with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) for an initial public offering (IPO) worth Rs 3,100 crore. As per DRHP, Ather has plans to use around Rs&nbsp;927.2 crore of the net proceeds of the IPO to establish an electric two-wheeler factory in Maharashtra (India)&nbsp;and to support ongoing research and development efforts. This development comes after Ather's rival Ola Electric went public with the&nbsp;IPO last month. <a href="http://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ola/">Ola</a>, the country's largest electric two-wheeler manufacturer, is currently readying a&nbsp;portfolio of four electric motorcycles, with plans to begin deliveries of the Roadster bike in Q4 FY2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>DRHP filed by Ather also reveals that it is developing a new EV (electric vehicle)&nbsp;platform,&nbsp;'Zenith'. This new platform will be the basis for upcoming electric motorcycles competing against the 125cc-300cc petrol-powered models. Though specifics of these upcoming vehicles are yet to be revealed, expect the company to bring in its first electric motorcycle as a mass-market offering, intensifying competition in the country's electric motorcycle segment.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;electric motorcycle segment, currently dominated by&nbsp;only a few Indian manufacturers (Ultraviolette, Revolt, Tork), is yet to&nbsp;pick up steam as the segment is still very nascent. With motorcycles&nbsp;accounting for about 63 per cent of the Indian two-wheeler market,&nbsp;electric motorcycles are believed to offer a&nbsp;compelling opportunity for Ather to&nbsp;invest in the expanding EV market. By&nbsp;the end of this decade,&nbsp;the EV penetration in the motorcycle space is expected to hit 10 per cent, according to <a href="http://www.autox.com/new-bikes/ather/">Ather</a>.</p>

<h2>Ather's EL Platform for Electric Scooters: What You Need to Know</h2>

<p>Not limited to motorcycles, Ather's upcoming scooter range will also use a new EV platform, which the company says is more versatile and cost-effective. Called 'EL', the new platform will include a new chassis, powertrain, and electronics, but it will carry over the battery elements and the Atherstack from the Ather 450 platform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ather also said that the EL platform will allow it&nbsp;to develop a broad&nbsp;range of electric scooters that can be tailor-made for&nbsp;various domestic and international markets. Ather has yet to disclose the date for the launch of the platforms. Nevertheless, we&nbsp;know that the models based on new platforms will be manufactured at Ather's&nbsp;upcoming facility in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Currently,&nbsp;Ather operates two manufacturing facilities in Hosur, Tamil Nadu&nbsp;– one for battery production and the other for vehicle assembly. The facilities have a&nbsp;combined capacity of 4.2 lakh units per year.</p>
