TVS Concept (2016 IMOS)
TVS Motorcycles is showcasing the TVS X21, TVS Akula
310 and TVS Entorq 210 at the ongoing IMOS (Indonesia Motorcycle Show) in
Jakarta. All three pre-production concepts preview future models for the Indian
manufacturer’s portfolio, and are from the archive.
TVS X21 Concept Racer
Based on the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, the X21 Concept
Racer showcases a future race bike likely to compete in their one-make racing
series. It features a lightweight chassis with a low centre of mass telescopic
fork, gas-filled monoshock on swingarm, steering damper, race levers and
special race-spec components as a performance kit.
The X21 Concept Racer is powered by a modified
version of the Apache engine – a 212.4 cc single-cylinder air-cooled motor
paired with twin free flow exhaust canisters.
TVS Akula 310 Racing Concept
As part of the TVS-BMW Motorrad technical
partnership, the Indian bike manufacturer will soon roll out their version of
the highly anticipated BMW G310R. Unlike the G310R, the Akula is a fully faired
motorcycle which has also been fettled by their in-house racing division, TVS
Racing.
TVS Akula 310 uses the 310 cc single-cylinder
liquid-cooled DOHC engine with four valves that powers the BMW G310R, but
retuned for the race track. The concept features inverted fork, aluminum
trellis sub-frame, race-spec rear suspension, RAM air intake, gill-vents for
better thermal efficiency, on-board gyro camera assist, aerodynamic drag
reduction system and lightweight aluminium components.
The Akula could be called the TVS Apache RTR 300
when it hits the Indian market next March.
TVS Entorq 210 Scooter Concept
The Entorq 210 concept from TVS previews a possible
all-round scooter that is easy to ride in the city as well as capable of cruising
at highway speeds. It comes equipped with intelligent smartphone integration
with GPS navigation and online connectivity, smart key, multi-function TFT
instrument console, push button for start/stop, a large under-seat storage and
an 8.5-litre fuel tank.
Powering the concept is an aluminium-based 212.5 cc
single-cylinder liquid-cooled fuel injected engine, mated to a Variomatic
transmission system. The motor enables the touring scooter to reach a top speed
of 120 km/h.
