TVS Star City Plus – The Utilitarian with Style and Substance The unremarkable TVS Star City Plus was and remains one of the most reliable commuter motorcycles in India’s budget two-wheeler sector.
Aimed at the daily commuters who would like a balance of fuel economy, performance and value for money, the Star City Plus gives a refreshing take of a practical looking motorcycle for the younger generation.
While TVS has laid emphasis on comfort and longevity of its products, the 2025 model gets subtle styling changes, new engine dynamics, and updated features to stay ahead in the intensively competitive 110cc environment.
Design and urban character_part I
Unlike the regular commuters more functional approach, the TVS Star City Plus has visual interest in the indi It gets a sporty-looking headlamp unit with LED DRLs, aggressive body graphics, a chiseled fuel tank, and attractive alloy wheels.
The bike gets a semi-digital instrument cluster for a modern appeal and it provides information like fuel level, speed, trip meter and service reminder.
TVS has also provided a number of colour options and dual-tone paint choices to target younger and style-conscious customers.
Build quality is solid for the class and the design feels fresh without being over the top.
Easy and Urban Comfortable Ergonomics
The TVS Star City Plus is an urban commuter with short to medium airline flights.
The upright riding position, thickly padded seat, and controls you can reach without very much moving at all make it the very definition of friendly.
Most riders won’t have a problem in managing the seat height, and the kerb weight of around 115 kg is easy to manoeuvre in city traffic.
Suspension is managed by telescopic front forks and 5-step adjustable rear shockers to ensure that,
the ride is comfortable regardless of whether the road surface is uneven or makes way for potholes.
The broad seat has enough room for two adults and even a child, so it’s also a good family bike.
Smooth and Powerful Engine Output
The Star City Plus gets a 109.7cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled motor which is capable of generating 8.08 PS and 8.7 Nm of twisting force and comes mated to a 4-speed gearbox.
Over the years TVS has updated this engine to include their ETFi (Eco Thrust Fuel injection) System, which improves fuel efficiency as well as throttle response.
The engine is smooth, refined and well geared for le torque, so it´s great in stop and go traffic.
It can easily do 50-60 km/h with no vibrations, and is capable of returning an average mileage of approximately 65–70 km/l, which is one of the highest in its category.
Handling and Safety Features
The lightweight chassis and finely-honed suspension can also handle a track for a first-time rider.
Whether in the tightest of alleys or at the busiest of intersections, the Star City Plus feels steady and solid.
The drum brakes works good, while some models do get synchronized braking technology (SBT) for better safety while applying brakes hard.
The fat tyres offer a secure grip on urban roads and the bike isn’t of course, designed for highway cruising or aggressive riding, but it can take the occasional longer rides in its stride when necessary.
