The Phoenix 125 is the latest launch from TVS Motors. Dubbed the ‘premium 125cc motorbike’, the Phoenix comes with features that offer ‘executive class’ riding without compromising on the fuel economy – apparently. So what are these premium features? One of the most important innovations is the ‘EcoThrust technology’ that offers dynamic tuning of the carburetor that can deliver superior pickup and power while extracting great mileage all at the same time. The 125cc 4 stroke engine of the Phoenix 125 can pump out 11 PS (10.8 BHP) of power at 8000 rpm. In comparison, the Suzuki Slingshot Plus churns out 8.5 BHP while the Yamaha SS125 and Hero Ignitor; all bikes in the 125cc segment, extract 10.65 BHP and 11 BHP respectively. So as you see, the power delivered is not exactly the most premium of all.
The basic drum brake version of TVS Phoenix 125 is priced at Rs 49,990 ex-showroom in Chennai.
Mileage Claimed
A bike in the 125cc segment can typically deliver a mileage in the 60-70 kmpl range. And TVS Phoenix is no different. According to the company, the Phonix can deliver 67 kilometers for every liter of petrol under standard testing conditions. This is of course testing on the best of highways in the most optimal speed with the most favourable wind conditions. Don’t expect anything similar on your daily commute to the office.
Customer Reviews
MaxAbout has done a beautiful review of the Phoenix and according to them, the realistic expectation on city roads is around 45 kmpl while the fuel economy on highways can reach the claimed 67 kmpl. The overall mileage is expected to be 55 kmpl.
TVS Phoenix is so new to the market and so a lot of people are yet to check the bike and report on its mileage. Even MouthShut has just one review with no mention of the fuel consumption.
So at this point, we only have the official numbers to go by – and a realistic expectation of around 45 kmpl on city roads. We will revisit this bike in a month to update on the mileage numbers from more sources. In the meantime, if you own a Phoenix 125 or have take it for a test ride, do let us know in the comments about your observations on mileage.
I own this bike for the past one month. I filled it with 11 litres of petrol,I have driven 680 Kms so far. Still it contains 1.5 litres (in reserve now) of petrol in it. I drive in a average of 50-60kmph in both city and NH like village roads. Average mileage comes around 60kmpl.
