The 2025 TVS Sport, recently updated, continues to shine as one of India’s most trusted commuter motorcycles, known for its fuel efficiency and affordability. With a new ES+ variant, sportier graphics, and OBD2B-compliant engine, it’s ready to take on rivals like the Hero Splendor+ and Bajaj Platina. Based on X posts and recent reports, here’s why the 2025 TVS Sport is making headlines in the budget bike segment.
A Display That’s Simple Yet Functional
The TVS Sport sticks with its analogue instrument cluster, featuring a speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer, and an Eco indicator that lights up for economical riding. While it lacks the digital flair of premium bikes, X posts praise its “clear” readouts for daily commuting. The new ES+ variant adds no tech upgrades here, focusing instead on style, keeping it practical for budget-conscious riders.
Power That’s Frugal and Reliable
The 2025 Sport is powered by a 109.7cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine, now OBD2B-compliant to meet stricter emission norms. It delivers 8.08 bhp at 7,350 rpm and 8.7 Nm at 4,500 rpm, paired with a 4-speed gearbox. The EcoThrust Fuel Injection (ET-Fi) system claims an ARAI mileage of 80 kmpl, with real-world figures around 70 kmpl, per owner reviews. X posts highlight its “fuel-sipping” nature, ideal for long commutes, though some note vibrations above 60 kmph. The top speed is around 90 kmph, sufficient for city and rural roads.
A Design That’s Sportier
The ES+ variant, launched in May 2025, introduces sportier graphics and two new color options: Grey Red and Black Neon, with bold “Sport” branding on the side panels and “110” on the fuel tank. Other colors across variants include Black Blue, Black Red, White Purple, All Black, All Grey, All Red, Metallic Blue, and Starlight Blue. The design remains unchanged otherwise, with a halogen headlamp, LED DRLs, and a minimalist look. At 112 kg, X reviews call it “lightweight” and easy to maneuver in traffic.
Features That Prioritize Utility
The Sport offers a 10-liter fuel tank, tubeless tires, and a long, cushioned seat for rider and pillion comfort. The ES+ variant adds no new features but includes alloy wheels and electric start, like the ES and ELS trims. A mobile charging port and synchronized braking system (CBS) enhance practicality and safety. X posts appreciate the “low maintenance” build, though some wish for a front disc brake or digital console at this price point.
Ride Quality That’s City-Friendly
Built on a single-downtube frame, the Sport uses telescopic forks up front and 5-step adjustable twin shocks at the rear, soaking up minor bumps well, per reviews. Braking is handled by 130mm front and 110mm rear drum brakes with CBS for stable stops. With 175mm ground clearance and a 790mm seat height, it suits riders of varying statures. X feedback describes it as “nimble” in urban settings, though gear shifts can feel rough, per some owners.
Variants and Pricing
The 2025 TVS Sport is available in three variants:
- Self Start ES: ₹59,881
- Self Start ES+: ₹60,881
- Self Start ELS: ₹71,785
All prices ex-showroom, Delhi
The ES+ slots between the base ES and top ELS, offering sportier graphics at a marginal premium. The ELS, with extra decals, is ₹11,502 pricier than the ES, which some X posts call “steep” for minimal additions. Offers include a ₹5,999 down payment and cash discounts on EMI for IDFC cardholders, boosting affordability. It’s priced lower than the TVS Star City Plus (₹77,441) but close to the Hero HF 100.

Why It’s a Big Deal
The 2025 TVS Sport cements its place as a go-to commuter with its ES+ variant’s fresh style and unbeatable mileage. Its OBD2B-compliant engine keeps it eco-friendly, while the lightweight frame and low running costs appeal to students and daily commuters. It faces stiff competition from the Hero Splendor+ and Bajaj Platina, but its larger 110cc engine and lower price give it an edge. X posts show strong demand, though some owners report rough gear shifts and dated features. With no major updates expected soon, the Sport remains a practical choice. TVS’s plans for an entry-level electric bike and CNG Jupiter suggest an exciting future, but for now, the Sport delivers value—check TVS’s site or Flipkart for deals
