TVS Sport

The TVS Sport gets a 99.7cc motor that makes 7.8PS of power and 7.5Nm of torque. It gets a four-speed gearbox. Suspension consists of telescopic forks and twin shock absorbers. Braking is via 130mm and 110mm drum brakes.

The TVS Sport has been around for a while and as such, the design hasn't changed much. To keep it looking fresh, it gets 5-spoke alloy wheels and an electric starter to keep it looking fresh. The instrument console is basic and gets a speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge and economy indicator. Fuel tank capacity is 10 litres. At 108.5kg, this is a lightweight bike.

Honda CD100 Dream DX: The CD100 Dream DX sits on a tried and trusted frame. Advantages include a smooth and frugal motor, tubeless tyres, electric starter, higher ground clearance and a longer seat. Honda’s legendary quality and reliability are a given.

Bajaj CT100: The CT100 is a good value for money proposition as it offers all the features of the competition at a lower price. It gets a frugal 102cc motor and also sports a unique spring in spring rear shock absorbers for better pillion comfort.

Hero HF Deluxe: The HF Deluxe’s engine has been around for decades but it now gets i3S technology. It gets features like alloy wheels, combined braking and electric starter, but overall looks dated. Compared to Bajaj and TVS, the Hero HF Deluxe is an expensive proposition.

The TVS Sport, like the name, offers a sporty 100cc alternative to commuter bikes, in terms of sporty looks at least. It gets similar features as the competition, a refined and frugal motor, all at a price lower than most of the competition.
