Ather Bikes Between 75,000 to 1 Lakh in India

The Ather 450 series got a major update for 2025 and we extensively sample the 450X which now gets more features and longer range.

For 2025, Ather Energy has attempted to improve the value quotient of the 450X package by adding a multi-stage traction control system and advanced regenerative braking – but it comes with an increase in price, and a long-awaited safety feature is still absent.

Six years on from the launch of its maiden product, Ather Energy has readied its second scooter, aimed at winning the hearts of Indian families. Does the Rizta have the ingredients to make it a winner?

Despite being the entry point to the brand, the 450S is every bit an Ather, but it also makes its better-equipped sibling look like great value.

The Ather 450X Gen 3 is about the small changes contributing to the big sum of things. With a bigger battery, more range and new tyres, the scooter promises to be a better-packaged offering than before. Does it succeed? We rode it in Bengaluru to find out.
