So, if you are a buyer who is fine with understated looks, a frugal engine and can manage with a respectable number of features, the TVS Sport should be on your wishlist. Let’s begin to know more about this bike, then.
Specifications
Before jumping straight to the figures, let’s talk about the underpinnings of the TVS Sport. The Hosur-based automobile manufacturer incorporated a single cradle tubular frame to structure the TVS Sport. Further, this frame is designed to support a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, which is tuned to churn out 8.18 bhp at 7350 rpm and 8.7 Nm of peak torque at 4500 rpm. With these figures, this bike has a top speed of 90 km/h.
Moreover, the engine of this bike is mated to a standard four-speed manual transmission. It stores fuel in a 10-litre fuel tank, which is of pretty decent size.
As far as fuel economy is concerned, the TVS Sport has impressive mileage. Its frugal engine can return an average mileage of 67 km/l. This is not ARAI-certified. It is a real-world mileage figure, based on the feedback from the owners. With that fuel efficiency, one cannot complain about the running costs.

Keeping that aside, let’s now talk about the suspension setup offered on this bike. So, it stands on an oil-damp telescopic fork at the front and a five-step adjustable shock absorber at the rear. Considering the price of this bike, it has an impressive suspension setup. This indigenous bike is engineered by keeping the conditions of Indian roads in mind. Having said that, it can absorb the undulations and the bumps from potholes with ease. For your reference, the rider can manually adjust the stiffness or softness of the rear suspension. If the rider thinks that the road ahead will be rough, the suspension can be adjusted to a softer side and vice versa. For added safety, the TVS Sport is equipped with synchronised braking technology (SBT), which is also known as a combined braking system (CBS). Different monikers are used by different companies. It applies brakes to both wheels, as a result, the bike is prevented from skidding or making a stoppie.
Apart from that, the braking duties are taken care of by dual drum brakes. The size of the front drum brake is rated at 130mm, while the size of the rear drum brake is rated at 110mm. However, the presence of disc brake(s) offers a better braking performance than drum brake(s). In addition, drum brakes tend to wear out much faster than disc brakes.
These drum brakes, however, are seen through the standard 17-inch alloy wheels.
Features
As mentioned earlier, this budget bike won’t be able to have much to offer, including its top-most variant. However, the top-most variant of the TVS Sport is equipped with an analogue instrument cluster that shows relevant readings, such as odometer, speedometer and fuel level. Further, it has a low fuel indicator, LED daytime running lights (DRLs), halogen headlights, halogen brake/tail lights, and halogen indicators. It also offers a pass light, an optional electric start, and ETFI technology for improved fuel efficiency.
It also offers a pillion seat with a grabrail and footrests.
So, these are a few features of this 110cc bike. It misses out on offerings, such as automatic headlights, a USB port, a killswitch, a stepped seat, and a shift light. The TVS bikes also lacks storage compartments, such as under-seat storage or a front storage box. There is no low battery or low oil indicator, either. It also misses out on a side-stand alarm, as well as a tachometer.
