The TVS Star City Plus recently received a major upgrade in 2021 in the form of a front disc brake. The commuter motorcycle rivals the likes of Hero Passion Pro and Honda Livo. We recently tested the motorcycle for a detailed road test review and you can read all about it here. Here we bring you the most appealing images from the TVS Star City Plus road test review.
The Star City Plus received several upgrades during the BS6 transition. These include the addition of an LED headlight, revised graphics, and a fuel injection system.
The styling cues include a single-pod headlight, a body-coloured headlamp cowl, a black visor, 3D logos, a step-up seat, and a chrome shield for the exhaust. The build quality looks solid and the 3D logos, dual-tone finish, and chrome elements add to the premium styling of the motorcycle.
The tall-set handlebar and forward-set footpegs deliver typical commuter motorcycle ergonomics. The spacious and well-padded seat works well for short distances. However, the soft padding starts becoming a comfort issue during longer rides.
The suspension is tuned for comfort, and the setup works well at city speeds, anywhere between 40-60kmph.
The BS6-compliant 109.7cc, fuel-injected motor delivers 8.08bhp of power at 7,350rpm and 8.7Nm of peak torque at 4,500rpm. The four-speed gearbox feels crisp while the clutch feels light, making it very convenient to ride in traffic.
A big change on the 2021 model is the addition of a disc type brake at the front. The rotor at the front has a strong initial bite.
The cockpit on the motorcycle comprises a semi-digital instrument cluster that delivers bare basic information. The analogue speedometer is accompanied by a digital display that shows the fuel gauge and an odometer.
The safety net includes combined braking system and a side-stand engine cut-off function.
