The TVS Jive is the first of its kind on the in the history of TVS Motors. It was first launched it in 2010 in India. Back then TVS advertised it as “The Tension Free Bike”. Why? Because, the Jive does not come with clutch lever. What?  Yes!!! The bike does not have any clutch lever as it has a semi-automatic Transmission. Yes readers!!! A semi-automatic Clutch less transmission on a 110cc bike.  And because of this semi-autometic transmission the rider does not have to concentrate any more the Clutch-Throttle co-ordination any more.

The tension of stalling the motorcycle in the traffic is gone because of this transmission. This is not the first time that a bike has got a semi-automatic or a full automatic transmission; some of Honda’s Liter bikes have this feature I.E. the African Twin or TXC or Goldwing series etc. have that feature.

Engine: 

The New TVS Jive is powered by a 110 CC single cylinder, 4 strokes and air cooled engine like we say in Jive but it is not Eco thrust engine. The cylinder has 53.5 mm bore and 48.8 mm stroke resulting 109.7 CC of piston displacement. The compression ratio used is 9.2 : 1 which is ensures the longevity of the piston hence engine considering the available gasoline quality in Bangladesh.

The engine is feed through a Keihin AV1 Carburetor with a huge 15 Liter fuel tank and 2 Liters of reserve capacity. The engine is equipped with paper filter element as air filter for its breathing.  The engine has a positive lubrication system for it lubrication. The positive lubrication basically delivers lube-oil from a pressurized reservoir with built-in solenoid valve that delivers predictable quantity of oil to the spinning bearings through a system of stainless steel tubes (According to NASA Technical Report).

This positive lubrication should result in smooth transmission of power without much power loss for friction on the bearings and valve ports.  And all these gismo results in 8.4 PS of peak power at 7500 RPM and 8.7 NM of maximum torque at 5000 RPM. This might looks not so impressive but when this it hooks on to vehicle kerb weighted 115 KG it becomes very impressive. This bike has a power to weight ratio of 33 HP for per 1000 KG.  The Jive has any gear Electric starter and a basic kick starter.
