Ather Energy has announced the launch of the 2025 Ather 450, bringing a host of updates designed to elevate performance, safety, and convenience. The new lineup, which includes the 450X and 450 Apex models, introduces cutting-edge features like Multi-Mode Traction Control and the innovative MagicTwist technology for a superior riding experience.
Enhanced Safety with Multi-Mode Traction Control
One of the key highlights of the 2025 Ather 450 is the Multi-Mode Traction Control system, which prioritizes rider safety by preventing slippage on low-traction surfaces. This advanced system allows riders to switch between three modes:
- Rain Mode: Maximizes safety on wet and slippery roads by reducing slip.
- Road Mode: Balances performance and safety, ideal for everyday commutes.
- Rally Mode: Provides controlled slip for off-road adventures, perfect for thrill-seekers.
By offering customized control across varying road conditions, this feature not only ensures safety but also enhances rider confidence and performance.
Revolutionizing City Riding with MagicTwist
The MagicTwist technology, now available on the 2025 Ather 450X, offers a unique twist-throttle experience. Riders can decelerate and even bring the scooter to a halt by twisting the throttle in the reverse direction, eliminating the need for conventional braking. This innovative regenerative braking system is functional at all charge levels, including 100% battery, and significantly improves energy efficiency and range.
