The TVS Star City Plus Kargil edition pays tribute to the heroes of the Kargil war. The special edition Start City Plus has started to arrive at the dealerships. The motorcycle features a special livery that comprises military green paint with a camouflage pattern. TVS has used a dual tone scheme for the motorcycle with a white base paint and select parts using the green colour with a camouflage pattern.

The highlights of the green colour with camouflage visible on the headlight mask, fuel tank, and on the side and rear panels. The pillion grab rail gets a green colour finish while the rear panel seat gets a “Kargil” sticker.

Mechanical specifications are identical to the standard Star City Plus. The 109.7 cc, single cylinder, air-cooled engine on the motorcycle produces maximum power of 8.4 PS at 7,000 rpm and peak torque of 8.7 Nm at 5,000 rpm and comes mated to a four-speed gearbox.

A 130 mm drum brake at the front and a 110 mm drum brake at the rear perform the anchoring tasks. TVS' combined braking system, called the Synchronised Braking Technology, handles the safety department. Telescopic oil damped forks at the front and 5-step adjustable hydraulic suspension at the rear handle the shock absorption tasks.

Last year, TVS Motor Company had announced ‘Kargil Calling – Ride for the Real Stars’ initiative to celebrate the contribution of the Indian Defence forces. The celebratory ride was conducted across all touch points of TVS Motor Company in India on July 26, which is the Kargil Vijay Diwas.
