This unassuming little commuter motorcycle offers more than what meets the eye
The TVS Sport is the Hosur-based auto major’s most affordable and smallest-capacity motorcycle sold at present. It was first launched in 2007, and in 2017, the motorcycle was updated to comply with BS4 emission norms. Over the years, it has been racking up decent sales numbers. Here’s everything you need to know about this commuter motorcycle:
Gets familiar commuter-ish design language and features:
Being a commuter motorcycle, the Sport’s design language is pretty conservative though TVS has pepped up the styling with colourful graphics. The bike comes with an all-analogue instrument cluster, which displays the odometer readings, speed and fuel level.
Like the TVS Radeon, the Sport too gets an Econometer, which consists of an Eco and a Power light. Depending on your riding style, the corresponding light stays on to give you a fair idea of how efficiently you’re riding. We experimented with it to see whether the feature really makes sense in our long-termer, the Radeon, and the results were surprising!
Comes with a fuel-efficient engine:
The Sport is powered by a 99.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor, which makes 7.8PS at 7500rpm and 7.8Nm at 5500rpm, linked to a 4-speed transmission. It comes with a roller cam follower, which is claimed to reduce friction, ensure refinement and extend the life of the engine. The motor is mated to a 4-speed transmission and TVS claims a tested mileage figure of 95kmpl.
Interestingly, even the real-world mileage of the Sport is pretty impressive. In August this year, it entered the India Book Of Records for achieving the highest on-road mileage of 76.4kmpl. Ridden by Pavitra Patro, the motorcycle achieved this feat while traversing through the Golden Quadrilateral, covering 6,377km in 20 days. The Sport comes with a 12-litre fuel tank. In theory, you will be able to cover about 900km on a full tank, which is pretty commendable!
Costs as much as a premium mid-range smartphone:
The TVS Sport starts from Rs 39,900 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the kick-start spoke wheel variant. For ease of mind when it comes to maintenance, the brand offers a generous five-year/60,000km as standard across all the variants. That should cover the labour costs for all the regular services within the time frame/distance.
Available in numerous variants and colours:
TVS offers the Sport in five variants. Here is the price break-up across all the variants:
As you can see, opting for the alloy wheel variant with electric start will set you back by almost Rs 9,600 over the base model. That’s a pretty heavy premium in our opinion, especially considering that this motorcycle caters to the budget-conscious segment. It comes with seven colour options: Black Silver, Indigo Streak, Team Blue, Mercury Grey, Blaze Red, Volcano Red and Dazzling White.
Underpinnings:
The TVS Sport is built on a single cradle tubular frame with a telescopic fork up front and twin 5-step adjustable shock absorbers at the rear. The bike rolls on 17-inch wheels on both ends, which are brought to a halt using a 130mm drum up front and a 110mm drum at the rear, with combined braking system as standard. TVS does not offer a front disc brake even as an option. At 106kg kerb for the kick-start variant, the motorcycle is pretty light too.

- The best bikeThis is a family bike and its mileage is also very good. It gave me the highest mileage of 68, so I choose this bike. I have driven it for more than 26000 kms, till now but the seating position is best and handling is also very good and the engine does not even hit the engine. It totally depends on you, If you want a mileage bike go for tvs sports, but someone who wants high speed, and stability they should stay away from it. It can get highly vibrating at high speed. Also comfort not good for this bike, for long ride, you can experience back pain. I have gone through various roads, I live in Mumbai, I have even gone to Puna from my bike, with my friends, with full petrol, still got petrol left when I reached prayagraj. Overall a very excellent bike, if mileage is considered.Read More10 15

- Whatever review I have given, I have taken it fromThis is a family bike and its mileage is also very good. It gave me the highest mileage of 68, so I choose this bike I have driven it for more than 26000 kms till now but the seating position is best and handling is also very good and the engine does not even hit the engine. The mileage performance of this bike is very good but it is a very light bike, due to which this bike is not for young age boy but it is very good for old age boy , the light of this bike is good and it goes to a long distance. This bike is good at its price, no other bike in that price will be able to give such good mileage. I did not buy this bike from the showroom because I bought it second hand. Ever since I bought this bike, whenever I have to go anywhere, I do not have to worry about the mileage because it gives a lot of mileage.So I will recommend to buy this.Read More6 10
