At the heart of the 2011 TVS Jive sport motorcycle, TVS pairs a 109.7 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.4 HP (6.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.3 Nm (6.1 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.6 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Jive measures 110 kg (243 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.1 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
