Introduction of TVS Scooty Zest 110

TVS Scooty Zest, the most affordable 110cc scooter in the portfolio of India’s third-largest two-wheeler manufacturer TVS Motors, gets positioned as a more robust and premium option of TVS Scooty Pep Plus.

The company launched the variomatic scooter in 2014 with young girls in the 18-25 age group as its primary target customers.

In 2015, ZigWheels awarded it with the Scooter of the Year. The same year, it won the 2015 CNBC TV18 OVERDRIVE Scooter of the Year award.

In 2016, it won the Most Appealing Executive Scooter award by J.D.Power Asia Pacific Awards for 2016. In 2017, the company rolled out the BS-IV compliant TVS Zest.

In July 2020, TVS Motors launched the BS-VI compliant TVS Scooty Zest 110 with a new fuel-injected engine with 15% improved mileage.

The scooter now comes in two variants—Scooty Zest Gloss Series and Scooty Zest Matte Series—and starts at Rs. 63,525.

Specification of TVS Scooty Zest 110

Powering the scooter is a 110cc fuel-injected BS6-compliant engine mated to a CVT gearbox that churns out a max power of 7.8PS at 7500rpm and a peak torque of 8.8Nm at 5500rpm.

The new BS6 engine generates 0.2PS less power and 0.4Nm less torque than the previous BS4 engine that delivered 8PS of maximum power and 8.8Nm of maximum torque.

The scooter can clock from 0 to 60 Kmph in 11.1 seconds and achieve a top speed of 80 Kmph. The ARAI-claimed fuel efficiency of TVS Zest is 62 Kmpl, but it gives a mileage of 50-55 Kmpl in actual road conditions.

The TVS-patented EcoThrust Fuel Injection (ETFi) technology enhances the fuel efficiency, and the Econometer offers Eco and Power mode. In the eco mode, the scooter will travel steadily and give high mileage, and it will travel fast and consume more fuel in the power mode.

The suspension duties are performed by a telescopic fork at the front and coil spring with hydraulic dampers at the rear. The braking system incorporates a pair of drum brakes assisted by TVS’ Synchronized Braking System.

The kerb weight of the two-wheeler is 103 kg, while the load-carrying capacity is up to 130 kgs.

Expert Reviews

  • TVS Zest 110 has a compact profile that makes it attractive and adorable from the very first glance. It gets positioned as a more sophisticated and powerful option of the Scooty Pep Plus.

  • Powering the engine is a 110cc engine mated to a CVT gearbox that churns out a max power of 7.8PS at 7500rpm and a peak torque of 8.8Nm at 5500rpm.

  • It gives a 50-55 km/l mileage and can travel at a top speed of 80 km/h. It is more suitable for in-city travel because of its lightness, compact size, and many features such as a parking brake and Econometer.

  • When it comes to braking performance, the drum brakes perform an excellent job with the help of TVS’ Synchronized Braking Technology. The brakes are smooth and effortless to apply. Both the wheels slow down at the same time when the brakes are applied.

  • The suspension duties get performed by the telescopic fork at the front and coil spring with hydraulic dampers at the rear. It enables the vehicle to negotiate the speed bumps and potholes smoothly.

  • If we speak about riding comfort, the vehicle has plenty of features providing just that.

  • Starting from the seat height to the dual-textured seat, it gets designed to be convenient for its target users- women riders and learners. The features like the rear grab rail and footpegs also provide a comfortable riding experience to pillion passengers.

  • The scooter rolls on two 90/90-10 inches tubeless tyres, and the wheel size is 254 mm, which needs improvement.

  • The ground clearance of 135 mm is low for a vehicle on Indian roads. The build quality also needs improvement. But overall, Scooty Zest is one of the best scooters available in the Indian market for such an attractive price tag.
