TVS launches Flame SR 125 sans twin-spark plug tech

Firm has been engaged in two-year legal battle with Bajaj Auto over this technology

TVS Motors today announced its Flame brand of motorcycles under a new name TVS Flame SR 125, without the controversial twin-spark plug technology, for which two majors — TVS Motor and Bajaj Auto — were fighting for the last two years.

According to H S Goindi, President Marketing – TVS Motor Company, “The TVS Flame SR125 comes with significantly enhanced low and mid range power delivery and better noise, vibration and handling (NVH) characteristics. The revolutionary Controlled Combustion Variable Timing Intelligent (CC-VTi) technology provides an advantageous combination of power and mileage backed by stunning looks.”

TVS Flame SR 125’s well proven engine is propelled by a three valve, CC-VTi technology which ensures better pickup with optimum mileage and power. Developed with AVL Austria, this 125 cc, three valve engine is tuned to the ideal tumble-swirl port combination such that city riding on this machine is really smooth and comfortable.

The vehicle is priced at Rs 47,550 ex-showroom and comes in dual tone colours of red and blue along with an all black edition.

It may be recalled Bajaj Auto had accused TVS of copying its patented DTSi (digital twin spark ignition) technology.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court had barred TVS from selling Flame model with twin spark technology, although the apex court had permitted the firm to manufacture the same.
