IAB’s in-house designer Shoeb R Kalania has rendered
the production version of the TVS Graphite based on the spy shots.
The TVS Graphite will be the brand’s first
performance scooter, and reportedly sports multifunction instrument cluster, which
is a segment-first. The headlight features a DRL, and the tail light is LED.
The handlebar cowl houses the front indicators. The angular bodywork is sleek
enough to accentuate the scooter’s sporty intent.
The TVS Graphite reportedly employs a 125 cc engine
that is good for 11.5 hp. In comparison, the Vespa’s 125cc 3-valve OHC engine
makes 10.06 PS at 7,500 rpm. The Graphite’s engine will pair with a CVT
transmission.
The Graphite rides on telescopic front fork and a
single rear suspension. For braking, it uses a disc at the front and a drum
unit at the rear. The scooter gets an external fuel cap behind the pillion seat
for easy refuelling.
