With its sporty design and practical performance, the TVS Star Sport is ready to capture the hearts of daily commuters and young riders alike. This article explores the key highlights of the 2025 TVS Star Sport, including its design, mileage, features, price, and how it stacks up in the competitive 110cc segment.
A Legacy of Style and Efficiency
The TVS Star Sport, first introduced in the early 2000s, was designed to offer a sporty yet practical option in the commuter segment. Over the years, it has evolved with subtle updates to keep pace with changing consumer preferences and stricter emission norms.
The 2025 model builds on this legacy, combining a premium aesthetic with modern technology. Known as the “Mileage ka Baap” in its early days, the Star Sport continues to prioritise fuel efficiency, making it a top choice for budget-conscious riders across urban and rural India.
Striking Design and Premium Appeal
The 2025 TVS Star Sport boasts a refreshed design that exudes sophistication. Key visual upgrades include:
-
Sleek Bodywork: The bike features sharp, flowing graphics and a contoured fuel tank that give it a chiselled, upscale look. A black-tinted visor around the headlamp adds a touch of aggression.
-
Vibrant Colour Options: New shades like Starlight Blue, Black Neon, and Metallic Grey join classic dual-tone combinations such as Black/Red and White/Purple, appealing to younger riders.
-
Premium Accents: A chrome-finished 3D TVS logo on the fuel tank and a chrome muffler cover enhance its premium feel. The five-spoke blacked-out alloy wheels add a sporty vibe.
The bike’s compact dimensions—1,950 mm long, 705 mm wide, and 1,080 mm tall—make it nimble in city traffic, while a 175 mm ground clearance ensures it handles uneven roads with ease.
Power-Packed Performance with Stellar Mileage
At the heart of the TVS Star Sport lies a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, BS6-compliant engine. This Duralife engine, paired with Eco Thrust Fuel Injection (ETFi) technology, delivers 8.19 PS at 7,350 rpm and 8.7 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. The four-speed gearbox ensures smooth gear shifts, ideal for both city commutes and occasional highway rides.
The standout feature is its claimed mileage of 78 kmpl, achieved through ETFi technology, which optimises the air-fuel ratio for better combustion and efficiency. With a 10-litre fuel tank, the Star Sport offers a range of approximately 780 km, perfect for long-distance commuters. Real-world mileage, as reported by owners, hovers around 70–75 kmpl, depending on riding conditions.
Feature-Rich for Modern Riders
The 2025 TVS Star Sport is packed with features that enhance convenience and safety:
-
Econometer: A unique instrument console feature that guides riders to maximise fuel efficiency with Eco and Power modes. The green light indicates optimal fuel-saving speeds (around 45 kmph).
-
LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs): These improve visibility and add a premium touch.
-
USB Charging Port: A practical addition for charging smartphones on the go.
-
Digital Instrument Cluster: Replacing the analogue speedometer, it provides clear readouts for speed, fuel efficiency, and service reminders.
-
Synchronised Braking Technology (SBT): Available in select variants, it enhances braking safety.
The bike’s telescopic front forks and five-step adjustable rear shock absorbers ensure a comfortable ride, while 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres offer stability and grip.
Expected Price and Variants
The TVS Star Sport is available in three variants: Kick Start (ES), Self Start (ES), and Self Start (ELS) with alloy wheels. Ex-showroom prices in Delhi start at ₹59,881 for the base variant and go up to ₹71,785 for the top-end ELS model. On-road prices, including RTO and insurance, range from ₹70,000 to ₹85,000, depending on the city.
These prices position the Star Sport as one of the most affordable 110cc commuters, competing with the Bajaj Platina 100, Hero HF Deluxe, and Honda Shine.
Riding Experience and Comfort
The TVS Star Sport is designed for rider comfort, with a well-padded, long seat that accommodates both rider and pillion comfortably. Its lightweight 112 kg kerb weight and ergonomic handlebar make it easy to handle in traffic. Owners praise its smooth ride quality and low maintenance costs, with spare parts readily available across TVS’s extensive service network.
Users like Rajesh Kumar from Delhi highlight its reliability: “The mileage is fantastic, and it’s a breeze to ride in heavy traffic.” Similarly, Priya Sharma, a student from Pune, appreciates its lightweight design and vibrant colours.
Market Positioning and Competition
The 110cc commuter segment is fiercely competitive, with rivals like the Hero Splendor Plus, Bajaj Platina 100, and TVS’s own Star City Plus vying for market share. The Star Sport differentiates itself with its sporty looks, advanced features like ETFi technology, and a focus on mileage. While it lacks a disc brake option, its SBT and lightweight chassis make it a practical choice for daily commuting.
