The TVS Sport, launched in 2016, has carved a niche for itself in the Indian two-wheeler market as a reliable and affordable commuter motorcycle. The year 2024 hasn’t seen any major changes to the formula, but the TVS Sport continues to offer a compelling package for budget-conscious riders.
Engine and Performance:
The 2024 TVS Sport retains its tried-and-tested 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled BS6 engine. This engine produces 8.18 bhp of peak power at 7350 rpm and 8.7 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. While not a powerhouse, it delivers enough pep for navigating city streets and achieving a claimed mileage of 95 km/l, making it fuel-efficient for daily commutes.
Features and Design:
The TVS Sport boasts a simple yet functional design. It features a conventional telescopic suspension at the front and a 5-step adjustable hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. The braking setup consists of a drum brake at the rear and either a drum or disc brake at the front, depending on the variant chosen.
The 2024 model continues to offer a basic instrument cluster with an analog speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, and turn signal indicators. In a minor update, an LED Daytime Running Light (DRL) now accompanies the conventional headlamp, enhancing the bike’s daytime visibility.
Variants and Pricing:
The TVS Sport comes in three variants:
Kick Start (KS) with Steel Wheels: This is the most affordable option, catering to riders seeking a basic and economical mode of transportation.
Self Start (SS) with Steel Wheels: This variant adds a convenient electric starter for easier ignition.
Self Start (ELS) with Alloy Wheels: This top-of-the-line variant features an electric starter and stylish alloy wheels, adding a touch of visual appeal.
The price of the TVS Sport starts at around ₹59,431 (ex-showroom) for the base KS variant and can go up to ₹88,070 for the ELS variant with alloy wheels.
Who is the TVS Sport for?
The TVS Sport is ideal for individuals seeking a reliable and fuel-efficient motorcycle for daily commutes within the city. Its lightweight design, comfortable riding position, and affordable price make it a popular choice for first-time bike owners, students, and budget-conscious riders.
Conclusion:
While the TVS Sport doesn’t offer the bells and whistles of some of its competitors, it excels in its core strengths – being a reliable, fuel-efficient, and affordable commuter motorcycle. With its continued focus on practicality and value, the TVS Sport is likely to remain a popular choice in the 2024 Indian two-wheeler market.
