Switch gear quality and overall fit and finish is easily the best in its class and even comparable to bikes a few segments higher to it. TVS clearly knows how to design and make quality switchgear; Honda, take a cue.
The stubby exhaust is nice, blacked out and round, and emanates a throaty note that’s unmatched by competition. Riding position is upright, comfortable and pure commuting pleasure.
Straight line stability is great, and there’s a likeable sprint in its gait that denotes that the new Victor offers extra servings of everything for its segment.
When the curves came though, the Victor proved to be quite the baller. It’s waif like thinness and lack of weight made it spur through the corners delightfully. The new tires, said to be made out of some Remora compound proved to be quite sticky as the Victor comfortably held its line under heavy lean through the fast, sweeping right hander.
The TVS Victor is a well rounded product. It’s smooth, refined, yet peppy. The dynamics, brakes and stability are well sorted. The styling is inoffensive; pretty much how it should be for a commuter motorcycle.
Rest assured, it’s a bit more than just a weedy commuter, and has that spunk.
