The TVS Zeppelin comes as a surprise unveiling from TVS. The bad-boy design is perfected with a raw and minimalistic look, without compromising on the overall masculine presence. The front face, with a vertically laid out rectangular LED headlamp, seems to be inspired by the Ducati Diavel. A compact single pod sits on top of the headlamp. And while the concept features an almost flat handlebar to give it a sporty stance, the production trim might get higher raised units. The two-tone body with silver accents adds finesse to an otherwise aggressive design.
The Zeppelin is powered by a 220cc, single-cylinder motor. The concept also features an Integrated Starter Generator system (patented by TVS) and an e-boost function allied to a 1200W motor with a 48V Li-Ion battery for added performance. You can term it as a mild hybrid cruiser.
Bolted on to a single downtube chassis, the Zepplin gets 41mm USD forks finished in gold at the front while the rear showcases a monoshock. The chunky tyres are wrapped around spoked wheels. Braking is via a dual-channel ABS-assisted disc brake at both the front and rear.
On the features front, the bike gets a smart Bio-key, online connectivity functionality and an HD action camera to record your adventure while you are on the move.
TVS Zeppelin R User Reviews
- Amazing Bike
In the price bracket of popular Royal Enfield and TVS Apache's, it's a reasonably priced bike but if you are someone with long-term usage do consider its spare parts and the cost of them and the most important customization which is available on other competitors in this range, because. For the mileage, it's somewhat the same as a royal Enfield classic. Design-wise and comfort-wise TVS have done very well with their riding angle, seat size, and cuisines. Everything looks just good nothing more nor less. Long-term riding also doesn't cause any pain in the upper or lower part of the back so in terms of that also TVS has done excellent just like the Apache's. It provides a whole new level of experience in riding. All in all a good bike you won't regret your decision, also if you can have a test ride you will know the experience. I assume vendors will soon start providing the customizations for this. I am assuming that because TVS has never left its line of bikes bare in terms of parts or servicing. I still remember a TVS bike from 2009 going through service and running safely in my uncle's house.
