TVS has silently launched the updated version of its 125cc premium executive class Phoenix. When TVS launched the Phoenix 125 back in 2012 it carried features which was seen on bigger bikes like fully digital console, 240mm roto-petal disc brakes, tubeless tyres and it had 125cc Eco- Thrust Engine, which is very capable and frugal engine but TVS decided to update the bike in 2015 so lets see what the bike has got?
TVS Phoenix 2015 is launched with new features as well as cosmetic upgrades, it has 125cc 4-stroke engine with Ecothrust technology (we have seen this technology in previous model of Phoenix as well) which helps to achieve fuel economy with smooth power delivery. There are no mechanical changes on the 2015 Phoenix 125, the motorcycle has the same 124.53cc engine single-cylinder which produces 11 PS @ 8,000 rpm and 10.8 Nm of torque @ 5,500 rpm, it has 4-speed manual transmission. Specifications like it's telescopic front suspension system and Brakes, even the 12 liter fuel tank remains same as well.
Now coming to the features and styling, new Phoenix is loaded with lots of features like all digital meter console, tubeless tyres, gas charged rear shock-ups and Vehicle locator key, the new additions as compared to the previous model are gas charged shock-ups (which was much needed as Bajaj already offers it in their 125cc models) and Vehicle locator key (it helps the owner of the bike to locate his bike in a crowded parking lot).
In the styling department it has got new front fairing with dual tone visor, body-coloured grab rail, twin LED pilot lamps, it has got new restyled fuel tank with scoops and a 3D 'Phoenix' logo which makes it look good and aerodynamic than the previous version. TVS has also given new body graphics to the updated Phoenix which looks attractive.
So the updated Phoenix has got some new features and styling with no mechanical changes, we give the bike thumbs up for the styling and features. The bike is available in six new colour options – Black Magic, Crimson Black, Midnight Black, Cherry White, Red Hot,and White Night. TVS launched the updated Phoenix at INR 51,900 (Ex-showroom, New Delhi) for the drum brake model and INR 55,899 (Ex-showroom, New Delhi) for the disc brake model.By: Shafqat
