Powering the moped is the same 99.7cc four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which produces 4.3PS of power and 6.5Nm of torque. The TVS XL100 also offers a claimed fuel efficiency of 67kmpl and can reportedly achieve a top speed of 60kmph.

Suspension duties here are handled by telescopic forks at the front and dual hydraulic shock absorbers at the the rear. Braking is done by an 80mm front and a 110mm rear drum brake. The moped tips the scales at 80kg. It comes at a premium of Rs 3,350 over the entry-level XL100 Comfort variant.
