The space can be used to store a storage container or even a bulky supply cage.

Additionally, it is a straight seat and upright. It is comfortable and splits into two pieces. In this case, the rider’s seat is fixed, however, the pillion seat can be removed.

Additionally, the motorcycle is fitted with all the legal street features. It comes with a powerful DC headlamp and taillamp, the turning indicator as well as horn, and many other indicators.

The TVS XL 100 I-Touch also comes with alloy wheels and tubeless tires. The front tire is 2.5/16, which is expected to perform decently on the road. The rear tire is 2.5/16, which may not perform the best during high-speed braking or high-speed cornering as it is quite thin.
