A larger heart, more features and a price hike
TVS has updated the most affordable motorcycle in its lineup to give us the TVS Sport BS6. It’s no longer a 100cc commuter, and prices have gone up too. So here’s everything you need to know about the updated bike:
Motor Makeover
While the Sport has historically been powered by a 99cc motor, this BS6 version now features a 109.7cc mill. The new engine is now also fed by a fuel-injection system as opposed to the old bike’s carburettor. As expected, engine output is up - from 7.8PS/7.5Nm to 8.29PS/8.7Nm, but fuel efficiency has also increased by a claimed 15 per cent.
Frugal Features
Like before, the Sport’s feature-list is populated by a pass-switch, , electric start, preload-adjustable shock absorbers, CBS and an econometer. New on the BS6 version, though, are some LED DRLs and the fuel-injection system which improves startability in adverse weather conditions.

Updated Underpinnings
The new motor continues to be housed in a single-downtube frame suspended on a conventional telescopic fork and twin preload-adjustable shock absorbers. Wheels continue to be 17-inchers at both ends but tyres are now tubeless unlike the tubed kind seen on the BS4 bike.
Variants & Colours
TVS has trimmed down on the number of variants and colours available on the Sport. While the Sport BS4 was available in 7 colours across 6 variants, you now have to pick between 5 colours and just two variants. The choice is between red, black and red, white and red, grey and white and purple, and you can also choose if you want electric start or not.
Price Hike
As a result of the larger motor, extra technology and other small updates, prices have gone up on the TVS Sport BS6, rather significantly in some cases. The kickstart variant is around Rs 3,600 more expensive than its predecessor, at Rs 51,750, while the electric start variant is over Rs 8,000 more expensive than it was before.
