TVS Working on Splendor beater.

Worlds largest-selling motorcycle — Hero Honda Splendor — will soon be under fire from familiar quarters. Rival company TVS Motor is developing a 100cc four-stroke bike to take the Splendor head-on. Rumoured to be named Centra, our correspondent Rishad Cooper had an exclusive first ride on the bike at the companys Mysore factory. Although we werent allowed to take any pictures, our first impressions of the bike are extremely favourable. Particularly impressive was the (comparative) performance which doesnt seem to be at a premium for a bike whose main purpose is to provide good mileage.

TVS Centra is suppose to be a totally new manufacturing platform and they hope to sell atleast 20000 units of Centra from January 2004.

TVS Motor Company Ltd is expected to hike the production capacity of its 150 cc bike, Fiero F2. TVS will also start offering five gears as an option to buyers. The company has expected bikes of 125 cc engine capacity to become the centre of the market in the coming years. TVS is also expected to pit its two-stroke `Max` range of motorcycles to take on competition from entry-level four-stroke motorcycles at highly competitive prices. TVS is also readying to launch a new 100-cc mobike. To be named `Centra`, the bike will target the central part of the motorcycle market and also offer close to 100 kms a litre in terms of mileage. The Centra will be produced at TVS` Mysore facility.
