Star City

2008 TVS Star City Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around TVS's sport motorcycle platform, the 2008 TVS Star City utilizes a 109.7 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.2 HP (6 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.1 Nm (6 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 74.7 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 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 Star City measures 113 kg (249 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (13.78 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 1,250 mm (49.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 16-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
