TVS Star

TVS Star
The TVS Star is TVS' entry-level bike that challenges the dominance of the Bajaj CT 100 in the economy-segment. TVS has launched different kinds of motorcycles which are marketed with all customized specifications. TVS Star is one of their market friendly bikes.

Looks and Styling
Star, with commuter-bike status, sports minimalist style. Large 16-litre fuel tank gives the Star a muscular look but poor quality switchgear and the lack of rear fairing are its drawbacks. Star sport comes with a dual tone alloy graphics, alloy wheels and excellent speedometer design. The Star Sport is a 100cc bike good for average users who are looking for a bike offering good features as well as mileage. Sports bikers won’t like its users and performance. The bike is available in different colors and contemporary design with a sporty look and currently available in three colors - Silver, Red and Black. Two variations in models are available.

Control and Comfort
The Star uses single-spine frame and telescopic forks as front suspension and dual shock absorbers at the rear. Presence of a box-section swingarm and the longer 1250mm wheelbase supports a comfortable and stable riding. Its head lamp, and powerful indicators provide safer riding even at dark night.

Its Star City version has stylish alloy wheels and sleek designed new exhaust. Its other features are single touch ride switch shocks, extra grip tyres etc which help the biker in riding it. It has a powerful headlamp and useful parking light too. Roller Cam Follower (RCF) technology reduces engine friction.
