December 27th, 2007Review Of TVS Centra
TVS Centra bike aim the mileage and value-for-money aware entry-level bike purchaser. But Centra’s large fuel tank, better bikini fairing, multi-reflector headlamp, and the broader body panel give it the looks and feel of a decision-making section bike.
TVS Centra sets new benchmark among entry-level bikes in terms of technological superiority and fuel-efficiency. Centra is ready with new VT-i (variable timing - intelligent) engine. VT-i is the new modernism built-up by TVS. VT-i technology ensures best engine skill, which, in turn, enhances the mileage of the bike.
VT-I engine depends on three parameters: friction reduction, complete combustion of fuel, and scheming the amount of fuel to precisely meet the driver’s requirements. Lower friction and complete combustion of petroleum 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 microchip senses the engine obligation, based on sensors that feed it information, such as engine temperature plus rpm level, and adjusts the ignition time accordingly. The engine thus offers high fuel competence and an ultra broad torque band.
