The TVS Zest 110 is a scooter from TVS Motor. It is currently on sale. Scooters are made for easy city riding: automatic, step-through and usually with storage under the seat. With a 109.7 cc engine it sits in the everyday 100–110 cc scooter class.
Power comes from a 109.7 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that makes 5.75 kW at 7,500 rpm and 8.8 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm. Its bore is wider than its stroke (53.5 mm x 48.8 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 77 PS per tonne; by that measure, there is enough go for confident city riding and relaxed highway cruising. The claimed top speed is 80 km/h. It has electric start.
It uses an automatic (CVT) transmission, so there are no gears or clutch to work — you twist the throttle and go.
It is built around a duplex tubular frame. Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and coil spring with hydraulic dampers at the rear. Braking is by a 110 mm drum at the front and a 130 mm drum at the rear, with a combined braking system (SBT). Using the rear brake lever also applies some front brake, which shortens stops for riders who lean on the rear brake. It rides on 10-inch steel wheels with tubeless tyres — 90/100-10 at the front and 90/90-10 at the rear.
The seat is 760 mm off the ground, which is low and makes it easy to put your feet down. It weighs 102 kg ready to ride, light enough to push around and park easily. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 1,770 mm long, with 1,250 mm between the axles. It carries 5 L of fuel.
Equipment includes an analogue instrument console, low fuel indicator, front storage box and boot light. Safety equipment includes SBT, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning and malfunction indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 50,000 km or 5 years. It comes with 4 free services, the first due at 500-750 km or 60 days. For the TVS Zest 110, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹899 doorstep service.
It is best suited to city errands and riders who would rather not shift gears. Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.
Recommended tyre pressures are 24 psi front and 28 psi rear riding alone, and 24 psi front and 32 psi rear with a pillion.
