Digital Instrument Console
The biggest change in this new variant is the fully digital instrument console, a first for this model. The digital console displays speed, fuel level, odometer, and trip readings. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity, allowing turn-by-turn navigation and smartphone notifications via the TVS Connect app.
Styling and Color Options
The Zest SXC is available in new color options: Graphite Gray and Bold Black. The scooter’s decals and body graphics have also been updated. These changes give the scooter a modern look and compact profile, while its familiar shape remains unchanged.
Engine and Performance
The scooter is powered by a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 7.8PS of power and 8.8Nm of torque. It is paired with a CVT automatic transmission. Throttle response is smooth, making it ideal for short-distance riding and urban traffic.
Suspension and Braking System
The suspension and braking systems remain the same. The scooter features telescopic forks at the front and a single shock absorber at the rear. Braking is handled by drum brakes on both sides. The scooter comes with 10-inch alloy wheels and tubeless tires.
Design and Handling
The Zest SXC has a curb weight of 103 kg and a seat height of 760 mm. This makes it one of the lightest and easiest scooters in its class to handle. Features like LED DRLs, external fuel filling capacity, and 19-liter under-seat storage remain the same. The fiber body panels and compact frame make it lightweight and easily maneuverable.
Connectivity and Brand Portfolio
With Bluetooth and digital instrumentation, the Zest now joins TVS’s connected scooter lineup. It competes with models like the NTorq and iQube in terms of digital connectivity, while it ranks below the Jupiter in the brand’s portfolio.
