TVS Motor Company has launched a new dual tone special edition of its popular 110 cc commuter motorcycle, the TVS Star City+. The new variant has been launched at the festive season, when traditionally retail sales of automobiles see an upturn. The Star City+ Special Edition is available in a white-black dual-tone colour scheme, and also gets a dual-tone colour seat, dual-tone finished rear view mirrors and shock absorbers finished in colour. TVS Motor Company hopes the special edition with cosmetic embellishments will make the Start City+ attractive to commuter motorcycle buyers during the festive season.
There are no mechanical changes in the Special Edition variant, and it continues to be powered by the same 109.7 cc, single-cylinder engine, which puts out 8.3 bhp of maximum power at 7,000 rpm and 8.7 Nm of peak torque at 5,000 rpm. The Star City+ has a four-speed constant mesh transmission and the engine is mounted on a single-cradle tubular frame. Suspension is handled by telescopic oil damped front suspension and 5-step adjustable hydraulic rear shock absorber.
