TVS Flame DS125

The legal tussle between the Bajaj and TVS comes to an end with the new judgement and green signal from the Madras high court allowing re-launch of Flame DS125, which faced a case of technology infringement posed by Bajaj Auto when it was first launched earlier. Associated with AVL Austria, the dual spark TVS Flame DS125 executive bike is based on 3 valve CC-VTi technology ignited by twin spark plugs. The engine is fine-tuned so as to match the impressive swirl-tumble port combination for fascinating performance with the relevant improvement in low and mid range power and fuel efficiency. With the borrowed look from its elder brother-Flame SR125, the little machine is expected to hold the bike boys in thrall.

Engine
Having been enhanced by the latest technology, Flame DS125 becomes the India's first three-valve CC VTi (controlled combustion variable timing intelligent) powered bike. It spouts a maximum power of 10.5Bhp at 7500 rpm with the maximum torque of 10 Nm at 6000 rpm. It can get a top speed of 95kph blazing on the 4-speed gear transmission.

Design And Comfort

In an effort to make it one of the most attractive contestants, it shares a host of features with the elder brother Apachi several of which are the headlamp, front fender, rear view mirrors, body coloured shock absorber springs and special engine cowl. Its style appeal is further accentuated by the sporty headlight with two position lamps and the eye-catchy turn signal indicators lending an addictive modern look of the bike. The rear part is well carved out with the dual tail lamp. On the whole, it a bike comes loaded with sizzling features such as impressive body graphics, alloy wheels, front disc brake, electric start and the handle bar weights to resist vibrations. Despite its analogous speedometer, other gauges such as odometer, digital clock, fuel gauge, mileage meter are all embedded in the digital console

The bike offers a decent mileage of 65kpl on road and performs quite well in heavy traffic conditions. The bike curves well at the corners and the disc brake can bring to an abrupt halt without any complaint.
