TVS Jive review :
Manufacturers always wishes to differentiate products from their competitors to lure the customers. Most of the times, the diffrentiator fails to change you ride bikes. The features are attractive but never bring comfort. TVS claims here is a bike which will ease your body and mind. The Jive is an attempt by TVS to ease off riding.


Styling :

The segment where Jive competes is a utilatarian one. For this segment buyers, the bike is more for a purpose than a fashionary item. Yet, Jive is cool and appealing. Jive inherits the styling of hot selling star city. The only change is the spruced-up tank which brings character to the Jive.

T-Matic :

comes with an innovative clutchless technology (“T-Matic” in TVS terms). Earlier Hero Honda launched a clutchless vehicle called Hero Honda street but met failure because of poor mileage and price. TVS says and it is different from street. Jive uses rotary gear and automatic clutch which ensures Jive can be ridden at any gear at any speed. The anti stall mechanism makes riding possible at low speeds even in high gears.

Gears :

Switch on the ignition, slot the lever in the first gear, the bikes standstill. Only when you scroll the throttle, the bike moves forward. My cerebrum fails to accept the absence of clutch lever and driving the jive needs little getting used to. You can start the bike in any gear and rotaty gear system means you can reach neutral from top or first gear.

Make the jive to stand with centre-stand. Switch on the ignition in any gear, you can see the rear wheel rotating in lower speeds. This is the due to slippage in transmission which results in power delivery to rear wheel in smaller amount.

Engine :

Jive is powered by a 110cc engine which pumps out 8.4bhp of peeak power and 8.3Nm of peak torque. Surely, Jive reduces your stress especially under tight traffic conditions. It starts at any gear and never stalls. The power band is also wide. As typical of any bike, running the jive at lower speeds in higher gear will push up your fuel budget. The refinement is largely compromised. Jive is raucuous and vibration is very much evident even at lower speeds.

Features :

comes with electric star and alloy wheels. It weighs 105kg and sports fuel tanks capacity of 15 litres. An underseat storage to carry a 1 litre water bottle and an unbrella is a welcome feature. The segment buyers loves space as they transport everything with the bike. Manufacturers have to find ways to increase the stowage space in motorcycles.
