Affordable scooters with ABS are no longer rare. We're listing out five options that combine braking safety with sensible pricing. 

Braking performance often doesn’t get the attention it deserves in the scooter space, but that’s beginning to change. As traffic density increases and road conditions remain unpredictable, safety features like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) are becoming more relevant for daily riders, not just enthusiasts.

Affordable scooters are now available in India with ABS technology.

ABS, once reserved for larger and more expensive two-wheelers, is now available on a small but growing number of scooters in India. While most of these sit at the higher end of the price spectrum, a few models manage to balance added safety with relatively accessible pricing. If you’re shopping for a scooter with ABS without stretching your budget too far, these five options are worth a closer look.

Suzuki Access ABS

Price: From 92,378

The most affordable scooter on this list also happens to be one of India’s bestselling 125cc models. The Suzuki Access offers a single-channel ABS on its top trims, making it a rare and value-driven offering in this segment. The Access focuses on comfort, efficiency and everyday usability, with the added reassurance of ABS for urban riders.

TVS brought ABS to the sporty Ntorq range with the 150cc version, making it one of the most accessible performance scooters with this safety feature. Its 149.7cc engine produces 13.2 bhp and 14.2 Nm, and while it uses an air-cooled setup, that helps keep costs in check. Buyers can also opt for a higher-spec TFT variant at an additional cost.

Aprilia SR 175

Price: From 1.18 lakh

The Aprilia SR 175 replaces the older SR 160 and brings a larger 174.7cc engine to the table. With 12.9 bhp and 14.1 Nm on offer, it continues Aprilia’s focus on sporty handling and sharp performance. Updates include a TFT display and revised styling, while single-channel ABS remains standard.

The VLF Mobster 135 is unique for one big reason - it is the only 125cc scooter in India to offer dual-channel ABS. Powered by a 125cc liquid-cooled engine producing 12.1 bhp and 11.7 Nm, it also packs features rarely seen on scooters, such as switchable traction control, dual disc brakes and a TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity.

Yamaha Aerox 155

Price: 1.41 lakh

The Yamaha Aerox 155 remains one of the most performance-focused scooters on sale. Its 155cc engine, derived from the R15, produces 14.75 bhp and 13.9 Nm and uses Yamaha’s VVA technology for strong performance across the rev range. Along with single-channel ABS, it also offers traction control, keyless ignition and smartphone connectivity, making it one of the most feature-rich scooters in this space.

If ABS is high on your priority list, these scooters prove you no longer need to look only at premium options. From practical commuters to sporty machines, there’s now a safer scooter for a wide range of budgets and riding styles.
