TVS Scooty Zest

TVS Scooty Zest features a petite profile that is likeable from the outset. The front apron gets a sharp end, daytime running lights at the top and big vertically-aligned turn indicators. There is a big headlamp for viewing the road brighter than ever, analogue console for essential vehicle information, a wider twin-tone seat for enhanced comfort, enlarged floor board that gets a textured look, a rear grab rail and the LED tail lamps. The scooter gets plenty of storage spaces and utility features. To name some, there is an 19 litre under seat storage, an open glove box in the front apron that’s quite handy while you are on the move, retractable hooks, under seat hooks, a USB smartphone charger, a under seat light, a textured and broader floor board to stack larger goods. The seat material looks very upmarket while the new color schemes give it a trendy look.  

Dimensionally, it measures 1770mm long, 660mm wide and 1139mm high. Seat height is 760mm and the wheelbase sits at 1250mm.

The Zest 110 is powered by the air-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke 109.7cc engine which now complies with the BS-IV emission norms and churns out a max power of 7.9PS at 7,500rpm and a peak torque of 8.4Nm at 5,500rpm. Coupled to the light 97kg weight, it makes the Scooty Zest 110 a nippy performer. The engine is coupled to a CVT gearbox that is pretty smooth. The claimed fuel economy of the Zest is 62kmpl while top speed is a claimed 80kmph. 

The Zest 110's suspension setup includes telescopic front fork and a single rear hydraulic shock absorber. The 10-inch wheels get 110mm drum brake at the front and a 130mm drum at the back. The wheels are shod with tubeless tyres for enhanced grip and control. Tyre sizes are 90/100-10 at the front and 90/90-10 at the rear. The tyres are grippy and keep the scooter stable and in control even in the corners.

In the safety department, the Scooty Zest gets tubeless tyres that are grippy enough to maintain stability and offer an extra range to the rider to reach to a nearby service station in case of a puncture.
