In a much-needed boost to it’s motorcycle portfolio, TVS has launched the latest avatar from the Star bike family - Star City+. First showcased at this year’s Auto Expo, the Star City+ is a refreshed and premium variant aimed to attract new young buyers who are now spoilt for choice in this continuously growing entry-level motorcycle segment.
Currently dominated by the likes of Hero, Bajaj and now Honda, TVS is pinning its hopes on the Star City+ with new styling and a fuel efficient EcoThrust engine. We got to ride the new Star City+ at TVS’ Hosur track located inside its factory. So though not exactly real world conditions but still good enough to see what the’Plus’ in the Star City really means something.
The refreshed styling on the new Star City+ isn’t quite apparent at first glance but look a bit closer and you will notice the more sharper creases on the tank and body. What is really impressive is the improvement in the overall fit and finish with better quality of switches and plastic and a good finish on the paint job.
