The TVS Metro is an entry-level motorcycle that is available for the international market. The bike was launched around 2009 and comes with a 99.7cc 4-stroke engine that is capable of delivering a max power of around 7.5 PS at 7500RPM and a max torque of 7.5 Nm at 5000 RPM. The bike is available in a number of countries outside the home country including Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bangladesh. Speaking of specifications, the Metro comes with a standard wheelbase of 1250mm and a kerb weight of 108 kg which is light enough to optimize the consumption of fuel. The fuel tank itself is capable of holding 16 liters including a 2.5 liter reserve. The TVS Metro is available at an on-road price of approximately Rs. 45,000.
TVS Metro Manufacturere Claim On Mileage
As an entry level bike with a 100cc engine, the TVS Metro is made for the fuel-conscious customer. However I have not been able to get an official claim from the manufacturer. But from what I have researched, the mileage that is claimed on the bike is around 75 kmpl under standard testing conditions. As I say always, this fuel efficiency is derived from superior driving conditions which is different from your city roads. So what you actually get on road may be different.
TVS Metro Customer Feedback & Test Ride Reports
There are a few Bangladeshi customers who have reviewed the mileage of the metro on MotorcycleValley. According to them, the Metro is expected to deliver anywhere between 50-70 kmpl although there are some who report noticing over 75kmpl – I am assuming this is on the highways.
On Bikroy, another bikers blog in Bangladesh, the reported number is slightly lower. The reviewer says the fuel consumption on his Metro is somewhere around 65 kmpl which is still pretty good. This report is also supported by a classified ad on the site ClickBD where the customer selling his Metro reports 60-65 kmpl on his bike. But do note that sellers are often known to claim an FE better than what they get; so take this report with a pinch of salt.
Here is a short summary of what I have discussed above. I have not been able to get too many other reviews about TVS Metro. If you own a Metro and would like to share information about its mileage, do tell us in the comments below.

I’m using TVS Sport for 2months, and it gives the mileage of 70-76 kmpl. It’s good and easy to maintain and it’s suitable for both city roads and highway roads..
I have to travel 60 to 70 km per day with my bike. I have Hero Honda Passion Plus Bike which gives ~50 KMPL mileage. It is not so comfortable for bumpy Indian roads. I want to change my bike with a comfortable and fuel efficient bike. Please advise.
Good mileage bike! Very efficient fuel economy for 73 kmpl in city ride.
