2016 TVS Star City Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in TVS's allround motorcycle lineup, the 2016 TVS Star City features a 109.7 cc (6.7 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.3 HP (8.2 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 8.7 Nm (6.4 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 103 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
