BS6-ready TVS Scooty Zest teased in India, launch soon

The new TVS Scooty Zest will retain the design and underpinnings of its BS4 sibling. The scooter is likely to sport a compact look featuring a sleek front apron with mounted turn indicators and LED DRL.

Further, it will also flaunt a dual-tone seat cover, a USB charging port, an analog instrument cluster, and an LED taillamp.

The new TVS Scooty Zest will draw power from a 109cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. In the BS4 guise, this motor churns out 7.99PS of maximum power at 7,500rpm and 8.4Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm.

However, with the BS6 update, we might see a marginal drop in power output.

In terms of safety, the BS6 TVS Scooty Zest will come equipped with drum brakes on both the rear wheels, along with the combined braking system for improved efficiency.

To handle suspension duties, the updated scooter will house inverted telescopic forks up front and a mono-shock absorber on the rear.

TVS Motor Company will reveal the official pricing and availability details of the BS6-compliant Scooty Zest at its launch event itself, which is likely to happen in the coming weeks.

However, it is expected to carry a premium of Rs. 7,000-8000 over its BS4 counterpart, which is priced at Rs. 52,525 in the country.
