Ever heard bikers toss around the term "BS6 / BS6.2" while chatting about bikes like the TVS Star City Plus? If you’re wondering what the so important about it, you’re not alone, and. iT basically refers to the latest emission compliance standard (BS6.2), which is Euro 6D equivalent. BS6 isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a cleaner, smarter way to ride. These emission norms have made two-wheelers more refined, fuel-efficient with reduced NVH levels.
What are BS6 / BS6.2 engines?
BS6 in bikes stands for Bharat Stage 6.2 or BS6.2; it is the Indian equivalent of the global emission standards (Euro 6). Compared to the older BS4 bike engines, BS6/BS6.2 models drastically cut down pollutants like carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. That means cleaner air, smoother engines, and a ride that’s better for both you and the planet.
Why TVS Star City Plus Stands Out?
TVS Star City Plus packs a 109.7cc single-cylinder engine that uses a technology called ET-Fi (Eco-Thrust Fuel Injection), which contributes to enhancing fuel efficiency by optimising the air-fuel mixture, ensuring complete combustion and minimal wastage, leading to better mileage per liter and a smoother riding experience.
Most of the riders just want something reliable, affordable to run, and not a pain to maintain in the long term. Here are some of the advantages of a BS6.2-compliant engine.
-
Cleaner air: BS6.2 significantly lower emissions of harmful pollutants, leading to improved air quality and a healthier environment. Less pollution means better air on your morning route.
-
Fuel compatibility – as the govt is now rolling out E20 as a standard fuel (normal petrol), E10/E15 on 95 octane, while only 100 octane petrol remains ethanol-free. TVS has proactively calibrated all its engines and fuel systems to run efficiently on these new blend of fuels, ensuring the engines run mechanically fine without warranty concerns.
-
Improved Fuel Efficiency: advanced fuel injection system (ET-Fi) and other technologies optimise fuel consumption and potentially lead to improved fuel efficiency.
-
Smooth ride: improved engine refinement and better throttle response contribute to a smooth and refined riding experience.
-
Low maintenance stress: BS6.2 emission compliance offers several benefits that can indirectly contribute to lower maintenance. The feature includes a re-worked catalytic converter, OBD-2B system, a recalibrated ECU, roller cam follower with chrome-plated piston rings, which ensure a cleaner and smoother ride quality with minimal wear and tear, ultimately enhancing the engine life.
In essence, TVS Star City Plus BS6.2 aims to offer a more fuel-efficient, smoother and potentially more reliable riding experience, while also incorporating some aesthetic enhancements. Daily commuters find TVS Star City Plus a perfect fit for daily needs, as they can depend upon this two-wheeler to sustain them through traffic, rain and bumpy roads.
