TVS Sport Detailed Review

• Sport Looks and Colour Options

  A solidly constructed motorcycle with a commanding presence on the road, the TVS Sport BS6. It has a chic, minimalistic design that is by no means over the top. Although the design is straightforward, it is still quite modern and meets all the criteria for being a typical motorbike. The bike appears chiseled thanks to the curved contour line of the fuel tank and the chic 3D graphics, and the car looks upscale thanks to the black tinted visor surrounding the headlight. The Star City Plus matches the various color schemes of the motorcycle along with dual-tone long seats and five-spoke blacked-out alloy wheels. This motorcycle also has numerous high-end inlays that were installed by the company.

  The TVS Sport boasts highlights and decals on the side panels and fuel tank in addition to the previously mentioned elements, which give it character. The BS6 Sport also comes in 6 colour schemes, including Black Blue, Black Red, Metallic Grey, Metallic Blue, White Purple, and Black.

   

  The bike's rear end features a sleek yet understated tail lamp and a black mudguard with a built-in rectangular reflector. It also has a silver grab rail for increased convenience and a chrome muffler cover to give the motorbike a premium look.

   

  

   

  Summary

  The new TVS Sport is a good looking commuter motorcycle that has a retro appeal. The motorcycle feels up-market and has few features in addition to some premium goodies that give it a good road presence.

• Sport Dimensions and Capacity

  

  Summary

  The TVS Sport is a well-balanced motorbike with respectable ground clearance. The key selling point of this motorbike is its petrol tank capacity.

• Sport Engine Performance and Mileage

  The TVS Sport's BS6-compliant, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine has a displacement of 109.7cc. This BS6 motor can generate a maximum of 8.17 bhp and 8.7 Nm of torque at 7350 RPM and 4500 RPM, respectively. The motorcycle's engine incorporates TVS' Ecothrust Fuel Injection (ET-Fi) Technology, which increases the motorcycle's fuel efficiency, and is mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox. The addition of fuel injection has unquestionably improved the throttle responsiveness and fuel economy when compared to its previous model, which was equipped with a carburettor.

  The performance of the  BS6 TVS Sport is strong in the low and mid ranges. The engine responds well and produces a respectable amount of power. It provides enough performance for city commuting as well. The average entry-level commuter's top speed is between 80 and 85 kmph, although the TVS sport can easily reach 85 kmph. However, at speeds between 40 and 60 kmph, the bike feels smooth and easy to ride without a lot of vibrations entering via the footpegs and handlebar. In terms of fuel efficiency, the motorbike offers a respectable range of 60 to 73 kmpl under typical riding circumstances.

  The motorcycle also performs well on rough patches thanks to its robust suspension setup. There is minimal vibration on the footpeg, fuel tank and the handle. Overall, the BS6-compliant TVS Sport provides superior comfort and ride quality. 

  

  Summary

  The new TVS Sport offers good performance. This commuter motorcycle packs in great low-end and mid-range punch. The BS6 version of the Sport also offers good fuel economy too.

• Sport Tyres, Brakes and Features

  The single-downtube frame is suspended at both ends by a telescopic fork and twin shocks. Braking is accomplished with identical 130mm front and 110mm rear drum units. On this commuter motorcycle, the front drum brake measures 130 mm in diameter, while the rear drum brake measures 110 mm in diameter. CBS comes as standard on the TVS Sport.

   

  The front brake is famous for having great feel and bite. Additionally, the drum brake on the back wheel functions beautifully. When the rear drum brake is applied, the bike will automatically stop or slow down with the aid of the CBS system. This ensures efficient braking and aids in sudden vehicle stopping.

  The BS6 TVS Sport also gets tube fitted tyres in the front and rear. The front tyre is sized 2.75 X 17, whereas, the rear tyre is of the size 3.0 X 17. These tyres provide good resistance against aquaplaning and should ensure a good amount of grip on bad sections of the road. However, TVS could have done a good job by providing tubeless fitments. 

  

  Summary

  The TVS Sport offers a good ride quality and strong brakes, thereby making it among the stronger performers of the segment. This motorcycle is largely preferred by rural customers due to its sheer performance in tough conditions. However, TVS could have offered tubeless tyres as standard.
