TVS Sport Mercury Grey — The 2015 TVS Sport receives subtle mechanical and cosmetic tweaks, with contrasting body graphics.

The TVS Sport’s DuraLife Engine has been optimised for reduced friction and stress to achieve higher efficiency and lower fuel consumption. The motor features Chrome Plated Piston rings and Roller Cam follower for lesser operational friction. The ignition timing has been revised corresponding to the low overall dry mass, which also contributes to the improvement in mileage, says the company.

In addition, the entry-level motorcycle has been updated with new features and styling. It now has a sporty instrument cluster, all gear electric start, aluminum grab rail, and chrome muffler guard. The model is available in five colours, including red, blue, black, white and grey, all of which feature contrasting body graphics.
