Ather Energy Limited, a leading manufacturer of electric two-wheelers, has introduced the 2025 Ather 450 Series with significant updates focused on enhancing rider safety, convenience, and overall performance. The new lineup, featuring the Ather 450X and Ather 450 Apex, boasts cutting-edge features such as multi-mode traction control, MagicTwist™, and improved TrueRange™ capabilities.
Ravneet S. Phokela, Chief Business Officer of Ather Energy, emphasized the company’s commitment to continuously upgrading the 450 series in terms of performance and safety. He pointed out that the introduction of multi-mode traction control—typically reserved for premium motorcycles—is a major enhancement. This advanced system offers three distinct modes: Rain, Road, and Rally, ensuring stability and adaptability across various road conditions.
Rain Mode prioritizes safety by enhancing grip on wet and slippery surfaces. Road Mode delivers a well-balanced riding experience ideal for everyday commuting. Rally Mode, designed for off-road adventures, allows controlled wheel slip, making it easier for riders to navigate rough terrains with confidence.
The 2025 Ather 450 Series also features multi-compound tires developed in partnership with MRF, aimed at optimizing both range and performance. Additionally, MagicTwist™, a feature previously exclusive to the Ather 450 Apex and Rizta models, is now available in the 450X. This innovation allows riders to control deceleration using the throttle, reducing the reliance on traditional braking. MagicTwist™ functions at all charge levels, including 100%, contributing to improved energy efficiency and an extended range.
The scooters’ TrueRange™ has been improved across various models. The Ather 450X with a 3.7 kWh battery now offers up to 130 km of TrueRange™ (161 km IDC), while the Ather 450 Apex provides up to 130 km (157 km IDC). The 450X with a 2.9 kWh battery delivers up to 105 km of TrueRange™ (126 km IDC), and the 450S offers a TrueRange™ of 105 km (122 km IDC).
Powering the new lineup is AtherStack™ 6, the company’s latest software engine. This system includes features such as Google Maps integration, Alexa compatibility, WhatsApp notifications, and live location sharing. Riders can also use the “Ping My Scooter” feature to locate their vehicle using sound and visual cues.
Ather’s 2025 range is supported by the Eight70 warranty, which provides coverage for up to eight years or 80,000 km, with a 70% battery health assurance during the warranty period. Additional benefits include faster charging for the 450X 2.9 kWh model, now bundled with the Ather Duo charger, reducing charging time to three hours for 0-80%. The 450 Apex comes with Ather’s smart Halo helmet.
The 2025 Ather 450 series includes the 450S, starting at ₹1,29,999, the 450X 2.9 kWh variant at ₹1,46,999, and the 450X 3.7 kWh variant at ₹1,56,999 (all prices ex-showroom Bengaluru).
