New Dashboard or old whee? 2026 Ather 450x discussions

New dashboard coming in for 2026 450x? Now we know that ABS is coming in with 2026 model, isn’t new a dashboard due too?

as stack 7 was launched couple months ago still hasnt rolled out to scooters with basic features dont expect OS upgrade any time soon or even more than a year

This is dashboard upgrade, like physical changes in hardware. Im not able to catch your point

I think he replied for this that there’s a good news,didnt confirm or deny about any hardware changes but I think EL will have new SOB

as confirmed here OS upgrade can help utilise resources better

I can neither confirm nor deny. There is a better soc in works for APEX.

My friend had purchased an Ather 450x 2025 (3.7kw) on October 1 ,his screen has zero lag smooth animations like on our phones , definitely there has been a hardware change.

Huh, if that’s the case, Ather would have jumped up and down and made an announcement. Maybe the system is on factory default, wait for the AS7 update and let us know

may I know your source?

Factory mode has gone, i own a 2024 Ather 450x , I’ve seen the smoothness of my friends Ather, his maps dosen’t lag for once, the animations are absolutely smooth .

Bro what can we expect from the upcoming 450x and when do you think will it be launched

Here you go

damn thats crazy QCM2290 is big upgrade from SD212,an actual chip made for vehicle infotainment. as your photo is from Ather website,does that mean APEX already available with this hardware?

How did uh get this mate?

its still laggy, but way better than SD212.

No idea. Their official spec sheet still says apex is still with the old hardware. Since the creation of this document is August 2025. Im guessing it will be available from next year along with abs.

They still chose this chip instead of a better high preforming chip makes me mad. Even ola with gen 1 pro has like SD720. Which is way better than this. Who decides these things… I need to have a piece of mind with them.

S1 Pro gen has like SD450 then they changed it to a proper VCU in gen 2

There’s a high chance the Cruise Control 2025 Apex is coming with the updated SoC. When I checked the spec sheet for the Apex, it didn’t seem like the one for the 2025 model with Cruise Control. Since Ather has mentioned a newer chip somewhere and the latest model is the 2025 Apex with Cruise Control, it’s very likely that’s the one getting the new SoC.

When you download the Apex Specsheet there is no mention of Cruise contol anywhere on the sheet.

Look at the bottom right corner the new QCM 2290 supports Cruise Control and other things but the Snapdragon 212 does not.

Ather Apex 2025 does come with Qualcomm QCM2290

Cruise Control has nothing to do with Dashboard SoC.
