Tvs Flame launched at 45,000 ex-showroom Chennai

Update:-
TVS Flame 125cc to be relaunched with single spark plug engine

As expected TVS Motor Company launched its 125cc ‘Flame’ on 14 dec, in Chennai with an ex- showrrom price of 45,000 and comes with disc brakes as an option.

Addressing a press conference here on Thursday, Venu Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Director, TVS Motor, said, “This is the highest technology product in the country. A three-valve bike has been rolled out earlier, but this is the first time that a mass market roll-out is happening.” The company claims that the bike would deliver a mileage of 82 km a litre. Please note the the fuel economy / average claimed is under Indian driving condition and not Ideal driving condition.

The 125cc Flame would be launched all over the country in January and would compete with 125 cc Bajaj XCD, Yamaha Gladiator, Hero Honda Glamor and Honda Shine. Flame, along with a new Star Sport would cater to the entry level and executive segment.

Tvs Flame had earlier run into patent infringement issues as claimed by Bajaj Auto mobiles to its much acclaimed DTSi technology although the company claims the Flame is based on a technology patented by AVL in Austria and the rest of the world.
