TVS Centra

TVS Centra bike targets the mileage and value-for-money conscious entry-level bike buyer. But Centra's large fuel tank, larger bikini fairing, multi-reflector headlamp, and the broader body panel give it the looks and feel of an executive segment bike.

TVS Centra sets new benchmark among entry-level bikes in terms of technological superiority and fuel-efficiency. Centra is equipped with new VT-i (variable timing - intelligent) engine. VT-i is the new innovation developed by TVS. VT-i technology ensures optimum engine efficiency, which, in turn, enhances the mileage of the bike.

VT-I engine depends on three parameters: friction reduction, complete combustion of fuel, and controlling the amount of fuel to exactly meet the driver's requirements. Lower friction and complete combustion of fuel also ensure lower emissions.

At the heart of VT-i engine is a microprocessor control system that features four different ignition maps to handle specific requirements of the rider. The microprocessor senses the engine requirement, based on sensors that feed it information, such as engine temperature and rpm level, and adjusts the ignition timing accordingly. The engine thus offers high fuel efficiency and an ultra wide torque band.
