TVS Star City is also known to be the tidy handler on the roads just
like other bikes from TVS and it offers decent handling traits and ride
character within its segment. Bike riders will find the bike in an
upright and commuter-friendly posture. The rectangular section swing arm
is another good thing that continues even in Star City. Riders of the
Star City can adjust the rear shock absorber through a convenient lever
and it doesn’t require additional tools. The major improvements of Star
City are the aerodynamic shape, front faring, new-age graphics, sporty
silencer and Roller Cam Follower (RCF) technology for improved mileage.
Star City is a good-looking machine in its segment with pleasing dual
tone appearance. The new bike replaced the clumsy-looking chrome metal
mudguards with attractive modern plastic units. The tube metal grab
handle is replaced by a dandy alloy bit. The silencer of the Star City
is modified where in there is a new heat shield.
This stylish and elegant Star City comes in four attractive colors;
the flaming red, midnight black, purple and greenish gray all of them
the metrosexual colors. The seating position in Star City is so good
even for an above average height person and equally comfortable seating
for the pillion.
The basic blue backlit instruments are easy to decipher. Star city
comes with comprehensive switches that include a pass light switch and a
push to cancel indicators. Other features include the tall TVS
trademark mirrors, quality plastics and rubber parts, cool palm grips
and decent control levers.
The main difference between the Star City and the Star Sport
include a new face-lifted silencer in the sport, with sleeker body
panels and tail lamps that gives it more elegant appearance.
Additionally, the fuel tank of Star Sport is also sleeker with double
toned side panel that make it look attractive. TVS Star Sport also
features 5-spoked alloy wheels, fuel gauge and three colors- silver,
black and blue.
TVS Star city is a new 110cc CVTi engine with VTi technology A few
important tweaks have been done to the 4-stroke and air-cooled 99.7cc
single overhead camshaft-driven motor. Engine is sturdy and the bike
delivers 7.5bhp at 7500rpm. The kerb weight of the vehicle is 108kg and
the major changes made on the bike include a keihin carburetor as well
as adding on roller rocker-arm followers. The gearbox internals however,
remain unchanged and all up gearshifts are smooth. Switch to a
healthier exhaust note is another change made on the bike and the
cable-controlled clutch enables the right level of progression and
weight to a rider. The improved motor makes it to ride effortlessly from
low speeds in high gears.
It has fairly conventional suspension with a brace of telescopic
front forks in the front and rear hydraulic twin shock absorbers.
Another improvement in Star City is braking and it also excels in the
mileage. Even in heavy city traffic, stoplights and potholed road
situations, it provides about 60kmpl and on the highways it gives about
65kmpl. The bright halogen-powered headlamp makes the night riding
relaxed and effortless.

stuff by TVS in this Star City. Star City in fact is competent in its
soft spoken and slick-shifting motor, plush suspension set-up and also
fuel economy according to the review. It also has the features such as
snazzier style with more frills to boot. All of these features make the
