Specification of TVS Star City Plus

Powering the new Star City bike is a 109.7cc BS6 fuel-injected engine mated to a four-speed constant mesh transmission that churns out a maximum power of 8.08 bhp (6.03PS) at 7,500rpm and a max torque of 8.7 Nm at 4,500rpm.

The new Ecothrust fuel-injected powertrain produces a marginally lower power and torque compared to the BS4 engine.

The 10-litre chiselled fuel tank sports the company’s logo, sporty decals and gets attractively shaped. The long dual-tone seat gets made of high-quality material and contrast stitching to give a comfortable riding experience.

Speaking of riding experience, the seat height of 785 mm makes it accessible to a wide range of riders of varying heights. The soft-touch switchgear also makes changing gears effortless. The rear footpegs and grab rail also give comfort and safety to pillion riders.

Just below the rear grab rail, a set of sleek tail lamps and indicator lights gets fitted. The exhaust pipe is slightly upswept and shielded with a superior stainless-steel muffler that beautifully complements the coloured shock absorbers. The all-black alloy wheels add style to the bike.

Expert Reviews

  • The TVS Star City 110 cc bike looks more sophisticated and premium than most commuter bikes, including TVS Sport and TVS Radeon.

  • The features such as the all-LED headlamp, bikini fairing, stainless-steel exhaust shield, blacked-out alloy wheels, aluminium grab rail, among others, make it look that way.

  • Performance-wise, the bike’s 109.7 cc BS6 powertrain gives a decent power of 8.08 bhp and 8.7 Nm of torque, while the ETFi (Ecothrust fuel ignition) technology enhances fuel efficiency by 15%.

  • All the variants get equipped with an electric start, which means riders will start the bike with just a press of a button.

  • The accelerator is smooth, and so are the brakes, which are easy to grip.

  • The dual braking system assisted by the Synchronized Braking Technology (the TVS’s term for the combined braking system) enables the rider to decelerate or stop smoothly. The disc brake in the top variant gives even better braking performance.

  • The suspension duties get carried out by telescopic forks and hydraulic shock absorbers linked to the motorcycle’s single cradle frame.

  • So, the suspension, along with the dual-tone rexine seat, provides greater comfort to both rider and passenger. The rear footpegs and aluminium grab rail give good support to the pillion.
