Ather 450X Electric Scooter Gets New Overtones Series

The Bengaluru-based EV startup has introduced the Overtone Edition with three new shades - Space Grey, Lunar Grey, and Still White. These updated colourways bring a fresh visual identity to the popular 450X lineup.

While the Overtone variants retain the same overall design, Ather has added unique accent colours for each shade. The Space Grey gets orange accents, Lunar Grey receives yellow highlights, while the Still White version gets a cleaner grey-themed finish.

In addition to the cosmetic updates, the scooter now gets a faster 900W charger, replacing the earlier 700W unit. Ather claims this new charger delivers up to 30% faster charging during regular charging sessions.

Specs And Performance

Mechanically, the scooter remains unchanged. The Ather 450X continues to offer a claimed IDC range of up to 161km and a top speed of 90km/h. Its electric motor produces 6.4kW of power and 26Nm of torque, allowing it to sprint from 0-40km/h in just 3.3 seconds. It is available with two battery pack options - 2.9kWh and 3.5kWh.

On the hardware side, the 450X uses a lightweight aluminium chassis inspired by motorsport, improving agility and handling. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, ensuring a balanced ride across different road conditions.

Ather has also updated the scooter with Ather Stack 7, bringing new features such as WhatsApp alerts, live location sharing, Google-powered smart navigation, live cricket scores, answer/reject call functions, pothole alerts, and Voice on Ather.

Safety And Technology

Safety features include multi-mode traction control, dual disc brakes with CBS, 12-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, anti-theft system, fall-safe alert, emergency stop signal, Infinite Cruise, Hill Hold, and Crawl Control. The Ather 450X also gets premium tech features like a touchscreen dashboard, Magic Twist, Park Assist, Auto Hold, Alexa support, and Halo Helmet connectivity.

Pricing and Rivals

The Ather 450X Overtone variant starts at Rs 1.57 lakh (ex-showroom), compared to Rs 1.52 lakh for the standard model. The new colour options and addition of a faster home charger demands a slight premium price over the standard model. It rivals the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and Ola S1 range in India.
