Flame VS XCD
TVS and Flame are the two new competitors on the run for 125ccs and both of these have pros and cons so it is upto u to decide the right bike for u. They are surely much more reliable than any other 125ccs but these two might find themselves to be the toughest contender to beat.
TVs is likely launch Flame after Diwali. The TVS Flame claims 10.5 bhp, peaking at 8,250 rpm
and 0.98 kgm at 6,250 rpm. The TVS Flame weighs 121 kg (kerb). The Flame will
directly compete with the Shine, Zeus, Gladiator, Super Splendor, Glamour, Discover
pantheon. But not with the XCD. On the other hand, the XCD may draw some sales from this lot also.
The XCD makes 1 bhp less, and the power peaks one thousand rpm earlier. On the other hand,
the Bajaj makes 0.2 kg more, 1250 rpm earlier. In riding terms, this should mean that the
Bajaj will have the advantage in acceleration for a short while before the Flame kicks in properly and takes off. On the other hand, the XCD also happens to be 9 kg lighter, which isn't a difference you can laugh off. That kind of a weight difference should mean that the XCD will keep up longer with the Flame than the curves would suggest. Of course, this is all pure speculation, since I've only actually ridden the XCD. In practice, on the open road, the XCD will feel out of breath at higher speed cruising, while the Flame will feel fine. In the depths of traffic, this could be reversed. Again, the gearing will play its part, and this is purely speculative guesswork.
Be that as it may, in this light, the price difference between the XCD and the Flame might actually work to the Bajaj's advantage. The XCD is priced at Rs 41,000 ex-showroom and the Flame should come at about Rs 45,000 ex-showroom, if it is to remain in the segment ballpark. On the other hand, while the XCD merely looks fresh, sharp-ish and all right, but the Flame does look very, very neat... Yes, this is going to be a close-run thing.
