The TVS Star Sport 125 is powered by an all-new 124.8 cc, single cylinder, four stroke, air cooled, single spark ignition, charge motion variable timing intelligent (CVTi) engine with 54.5 mm bore and 53.5 mm stroke (Source).  The compression ratio being 9.3:1 the engine can produce 10.3 BHP (approx.) of peak power at 7700 RPM and 10 NM of maximum torque at 6200 RPM. TVS used a VM19SH carburetor to feed the engine with a huge 16 Liter fuel tank with 2.5 liter reserve capacity. The double polyurethane foam filters element has been used as air filter for this bike.  The CVTI Engine combines swirl and tumble motion to achieve very high in cylinder charge motion.

The overall charge motion is three times more than conventional port designs. This apart, TVS has applied VTi Technology consisting of deceleration fuel cut and significantly reduced friction between piston and the cylinder wall that means during deceleration the carburetor decrease the fuel to very minimum to save fuel. This combination of charge motion and variable timing ignition improve the combustion and reduce fuel wastage to improve the fuel economy hence make the bike very fuel efficient.  The Star Sport 125 can achieve an impressive 60Km/L of mileage and the top speed of 93 Km/Hr. This is the main reason that the Star Sport 125 had so much attention in its time.
