FEATURES

The Ather 450 Apex introduces exciting new features, including the innovative Warp+ mode. This mode not only enhances performance but also brings a delightful redesign to the TFT display UI, creating a visually engaging ‘warp speed’ appearance. However, the standout feature on the Ather 450 Apex is the groundbreaking Magic Twist. Set to become a staple in the company’s upcoming models, Magic Twist introduces a regenerative function. By twisting the accelerator backward, riders can experience a progressive slowing down of the scooter, eventually bringing it to a complete halt. While regenerative functions exist in various electric two-wheelers in India, the Ather 450 Apex takes it to a new level of strength and effectiveness, setting a benchmark in the industry. With a 15-degree rotation of the accelerator, riders on the Ather 450 Apex experience a level of fine-tuned control over the regenerative braking system. This unique feature empowers riders to navigate most normal slowing-down scenarios without the need to engage the brakes, providing a seamless and intuitive riding experience.

The Ather 450 Apex comes with an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.89 lakh. Considering additional on-road costs, which may vary based on state-level subsidies and other factors, the total on-road cost is estimated to be approximately Rs 30,000-40,000 higher than the top variant of the 450X. Its on- road price is 1,97,243. The Ather 450 Apex further enhances its appeal with a comprehensive warranty package. It includes a 5-year or 60,000-kilometre warranty for the battery, providing an assurance of long-term performance.
