2011 TVS Star City Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by TVS for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2011 TVS Star City relies on a 109.7 cc (6.7 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.4 HP (6.1 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.1 Nm (6 lb-ft) at 5,050 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 76.6 HP per liter and a 2,450 rpm working window between peak torque (5,050 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 95 kg (209 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.31 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 1,240 mm (48.8 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.
