Review of tvs xl 100 heavy duty i-touch 2022 bsvi edition:-
Bought the tvs xl 100 heavy duty on 2 january 2022. At first, we had thought of buying a scooter like the tvs jupiter or ntorq, but due to rising vehicle prices, increasing petrol price and low budget, we finally decided to buy the tvs xl 100. Another actor was that our main purpose was to carry materials on the vehicle for our shop. The buying experience was good. The tvs showroom was large and had a very good selection of bikes and scooters of all variants. We were shown different models of the xl 100, and we decided to buy the heavy-duty i-touch start variant after a test ride. The showroom people were very cooperative, and the documentation process was smooth. Only aadhaar card and two copies of photos were needed for this purpose. The only thing that we need to keep in mind is to check the vehicle that will be delivered to us, before signing the documents and paying. We paid fully in cash as we did not think that instalments would benefit us for this relatively low-cost vehicle. We rode back home in the vehicle after completing the buying formalities.
Now I will describe the looks of the tvs xl 100 heavy duty. It is a very simple vehicle with simple aesthetics. On the front, there are daytime running lights (drl) below the front headlight. The front headlight itself is round, retro-styled with a halogen lamp. There is a pair of flexible halogen turn indicators. The front suspension is telescopic hydraulic spring type and has a rubberised coating to protect it from dust and dirt. The front mudguard has a glossy black metallic look. There is also a synchronised braking system that acts similar to combi-braking. There is a pair of leg guards also. The front wheel is a 16-inch spoke wheel with a chrome finish and has 2.50-16 tube tyre. The fuel tank is of 4 litre capacity and has the “tvs” logo in colourful graphics. The base of the vehicle is made of good quality, sturdy fibre that is designed to carry heavy loads. There is a glove box to store the vehicle papers and tool kit. The base has “xl 100 heavy-duty,” “et-fi” and “i-touch” stickers which make it quite attractive. The vehicle has a 99.7 cc air-cooled et-fi engine with a capacity for 800 ml of engine oil. It has a good looking matte-black muffler on the exhaust. There are also metallic footrests for the pillion. There is a side stand and the main stand. The rear side has a swing arm with adjustable hydraulic shock type suspension. It also has a hook with a handle on the side to hang or tie weights or bags. The rear wheel is a 16 inch spoke wheel with 2.50-16 rear tube tyre. It has a halogen tail-light, halogen turn indicators and a reflector. There are 110 mm drum brakes in the front and back. The seat consists of two split seats with comfortable cushions. The seats are long and wide. We get along carrier if the rear seat is removed, which helps to carry heavy bags. The grab handles at the back of the seat are strong and can be used to tie heavy bags. The handle has an i-touch start button on the right handle that starts the engine by pressing the brake. There is a rod between the handle that has a hook for hanging weighty bags. The instrument cluster is a simple one with an analogue speedometer and odometer.
Coming to comfort and performance, the vehicle offers a seating position that is upright and very comfortable. The footpeg position is good. The handlebar setup is narrow and is very useful while manoeuvring in traffic with heavy loads. The suspension is perfect and small bumps and potholes are not felt. It is especially helpful while carrying heavyweights as we need the vehicle to be stable. The drum brakes are average but are acceptable considering its low cost and small build. The vehicle feels very lightweight at 89 kg kerb weight. Initial pickup is quite good and is useful when carrying loads. Very good performance at low speeds, but when we accelerate, vibrations can be felt in the handlebar and foot-peg. The exhaust note sounds very good at high speeds, in spite of a slightly odd feeling due to its lightweight.
As to its reliability, the handling is very stable and can be used for off-road rides as well. But it is not meant for high speeds on highways, as at higher rpm the engine feels stressed. It is best when carrying loads at medium speeds.
The service and maintenance costs are very low as there are no extra fancy add-ons on the vehicle. The body is built of good quality material and needs very little maintenance. To tell the truth, it is a strong and rugged little vehicle.
The tvs xl 100 heavy-duty has some very useful extra features like the i-touch start button, a rod between the handle with a hook for hanging weighty bags, strong grab handles at the back of the seat that can be used to tie heavy bags, a hook with a handle on the side to hang or tie weights or bags, low-fuel indicator, error indicator, engine indicator, turn indicator and headlight indicator on the instrument cluster and et-fi (fuel injection technology) that helps to reduce fuel costs by increasing the mileage.
The positive points of the vehicle are that it is very light-weight, highly manoeuvrable, and is suitable for people who have to carry heavy weights or who have low height or old age people. It has a good mileage of about 60-65 km/litre. It can be used to carry heavy weights (the company claims upto 130 kg).
On the other hand, the negative points of this vehicle are that it has very basic looks, has a low fuel tank capacity of only 4 litres, the power output and torque are low and the tyres are not wide.
However, given its low price point, it is the perfect vehicle for people who just want to commute or carry heavy loads. It is a very bare-bone machine with no unnecessary cosmetic add-ons to keep the cost down. It has all we need to get the work done. It helps to get ahead in life even when we do not have much money to buy higher-priced bikes.
