TVS XL 100 specifications and features
Every figure from the manufacturer's sheet, plus what each feature actually does for you.
Engine and performance
The 100cc air-cooled engine makes 4.29 bhp and 6.5 Nm through a CVT automatic. With a kerb weight of 89 kg that is 48 bhp per tonne, the lowest power-to-weight ratio of the 25 scooters in this class we have reviewed.
Torque is high relative to peak power, which is what you want for pulling away with a pillion and riding a gear higher in traffic rather than chasing the redline.
