    Phoenix, India’s First Premium 125 cc Motorcycle Launched

    New Delhi 3, December 2012: TVS Motor Company launched its premium executive deluxe 125cc motorcycle, TVS Phoenix 125 here today. Dubbed by the company to be one of the most feature-filled products to roll off its lines, TVS Phoenix 125 is targeted at consumers who aspire to upgrade from just commuting to those who crave for a spirited ride experience without compromising on mileage.
    TVS Phoenix 125 is loaded with premium features; and backed by an all new, highly refined 125cc EcoThrust engine, that provides excellent pickup with best in class fuel efficiency. The bike promises to be a seamless combination of premium style and comfort with unique, first of its kind features in its segment.
    Speaking at the launch, H S Goindi, President - Marketing, TVS Motor Company
    said, “We have developed an all new engine for this motorcycle. It complements several unique features to ensure ‘premium ride quality’. This launch will increase our market share in the segment. We are now present in the economy, executive and premium segments of the motorcycle market.”
    TVS Phoenix 125 is equipped with novel features that are usually seen in cars. For the first time in this segment, features such as a fully digital speedometer, backlit in premium amber; a digital fuel gauge, a low battery reminder, a trip meter, service reminder, soft texture grips and soft touch switchgear have been provided. For the first time in India, TVS Phoenix offers car like hazard lamps to enhance added safety for the rider.


    Riding comfort of TVS Phoenix 125 has been maximized by way of five-step adjustable ‘series spring’ suspension, high response damper and ergonomically positioned handle bar for superior riding control.
    Engineered to magnify the joy of riding, TVS Phoenix 125 is equipped with EcoThrust technology: dynamic tuning which regulates the flow of petrol to deliver optimum combination of power and fuel economy. This facilitates superior pickup while delivering lower fuel consumption. An electric start fires up the 4 speed powertrain of TVS Phoenix 125 to churn out 11 PS of power@ 8000 rpm.

    TVS Phoenix 125 has highest power to weight ratio in this segment. This aids in best combination of pickup and high fuel economy of over 67 kmpl under standard riding conditions.
    Vibrant graphics accentuate the elegant styling of TVS Phoenix 125, which comes in five dual tone colours namely Moroccan Red, Alaskan Green, Helsinki Black Silver, Belgian Black Red and Oxford Grey. Features like aircraft inspired decals, rotopetal disc brake, LED pilot lamps, an all-black engine, alloy wheels and a stitched dual texture, high density comfort cushion seat with premium upholstery increase the style quotient of the motorcycle.

        It would be interesting to see how this one compares to the Discover 125ST
        Better late by 30 minutes than early by 30 years.

              i cant see the pic either, probably because i am in office right now. Cant see some pics from other posts as well, clicked on the money control site and the first impression is that they've gone overboard with the graphics.

                  Not impressed with the pricing, may be it's priced a bit on higher side. Let's see if this can manage a turn around for TVS.

                    Agreed. I guess the on road price in BLR will be around 63+. I just hope it does well for TVS, they badly need a hit product. I am surprised that it took them so long to wake up from their sleep, personally I feel they are still sleeping .

                      "Clueless" would probably be a better description.

                        First Thing,They should have named it "StaR City 125". It might have worked for them,as all newly named models from TVS have been flop recently,barring the Wego.
                        Secondly,in Styling,its much behind the futuristic D125 ST(though the feature list is on higher side). It might compete with the D125(old), and will appeal to more conservative/not too flashy type of people.
                        Third-The grafics are good,but certainly doesnt suit the simple styling of the bike.

                          That would have been a great move for numbers, but on the flip side, people coming in would expect vfm pricing in line with star city. Agree with graphics part, they look out of place on this bike, mainly due to it's styling or may be we need some better pics to appreciate them!

                            The opening post says 14.7 bhp and the next post says 11PS... which one is true... i'm guessing the 14.7 bhp is a mistake...

                              14 Bhp from a 125cc sounds good but TVS missed 5th Gear!!!
