This is my 1st review on mouthshut, abt this bike, nd the reason 4 writn this review is basically just 4 u guys 2 knw the bike exactly,
To start wid, I can say the TVS company has finally acheived this superb bike, nd won the controversal case gng between bajaj nd TVS. this bike is a definate win which I totally agree, frm other reviews, every1 knws the features of this bike like gvn the mileage of appx 70 wid the digital meter which looks really damn cool.
Basically the company is introducing 4 colours in this bike
1) Red nd black(which majoroty of the ppl will opt for)
2) Silver nd Black
3) Yellow nd black
4) Orange nd black
The company will intoduce the red colour nd the silver colour in the start, nd the other 2 colour which r also nt mre attractive will b introduced at a later stage.the storage capacity is a vry gd which is additional feature tht this bike has introduced, bt its too low, nd cz of tht the fuel capacity has reduced 2 only 8 litres. nd the storage capacity is also nt mre, it is like appx 2 pepsi cans can come. bt its kool. bt the front indicators r too delicate, if by any chance the bike falls the indicators r sure 2 smash off, nd the bike will look too ugly without the indicator glass also. bt the 1 main disadvantage tht I can c in this bike is tht if at all, im turning on the right side, nd ive started wid the right indicator, so the opposite person cmng, cannot really c the right indicator clearly, this I myself experienced when I had seen my cousin driving this bike, tht cz of the tank indicators attatched to this bike, though it looks sumthng vry different bt is a little unsecured, so this is one point which all of u must pay attention to, otherwise internally also this bike is just supurb yaar. nw the real competition will start between bajaj nd TVS. nd if it was a competn between flame nd XCD, flame was a definate winner, bt the COMPETITION NW IS BETWEEN FLAME ND XCD SPRINT, WHICH IS A NEW LAUNCH FRM BAJAJ, DEFINATELY A BETTER LOKN BIKE THAN FLAME ALSO. THE BEST LOOKN ND THE BEST FEATURES BIKE OF THE YEAR U CAN SAY. PRICED AT AROUND 47000(ex showroom) THIS BIKE WILL REALLY GVE A TOUGH COMPETITION 2 FLAME,
bajaj xcd SPRINT DESIGNED VRY VRY DIFFERENTLY, ull all knw the features of the flame, nw lets speak abt this competitor of bajaj, it has taken mre advance than the flame,
The XCD Sprint was rumored to sport 4 valve head. And it is! Yes. The XCD has a
4 valve 12.5PS @ 9000r.p.m Engine.(ie. 10.3NM@ 6500r.p.m)
They have given fatter tyres, 4 valves, (compared to 3 valve of flame) rear sub-frame, fancy tank surrounds, lovely prominent L.E.D. tail lamps, more substantial speedometer & last but not the least a tiny disc brake on front wheel.
the specifications of this bike r as follows
(XCD sprint) TVS FLAME
Engine: 125cc 4 valve DTS-i 125CC, 3 valve, CC-VTi
Max power: 12.5PS @ 9000r.p.m 7.7 KW @ 8250 RPM
Max torque: 10.3NM@ 6500r.p.m 10 NM @ 6250 RPM
Nitrox rear suspension
17-inch alloy wheels
Front Disc Brakes
Digital Speedometers
Radical led tail light
New side panels and sharp tail design
Tank cowl and new Head Lamp design
nw I m quite confused which is a better bike, donno, bt 1 thng is 4 sure tht TVS have still got another tuff competition frm bajaj. When TVS won the case, every1 thought tht bajaj lost it nw, bt rahul bajaj has proved one mre time tht the real competition is just on the beggining.
Both the bikes will b a gd option as theyll surely have a gd mileage also, along wid gd looks, nd other ausum features like tht digital meter system, IMI, nd much mre.TVS has already launched flame in many parts in india, will come in all the parts by the end of feb maximum.nd bajaj will hit the markets in 2 months. I think the TVS has just one month to enjoy the benefits of monopolism. They have real tuff fight after bajaj hits the market. Hope tht ive have helpd u little wid my review.
Will b back soon wid the fully tested review after my flame comes 2 me.the bike will b delivered in some days 2 me. Plz rate it, if u liked it. Thankx
