The production version of TVS’ first fully faired
motorcycle has been spotted without covers or camouflage. These images have
been shown on blogs, Facebook groups and forums. First
previewed as the TVS Akula 310 concept, the Akula seems bigger than the average
300 cc motorcycle.
The TVS Akula 310 will share the 313 cc single
cylinder powertrain with the BMW G310R. The outputs (34 PS @ 9,500 rpm and 28
Nm of @ 7,500 rpm) may remain the same but there is a strong possibility that
TVS will detune the engine in favour of fuel efficiency. The Akula too will be
focusing on usable power just like its smaller sibling, the TVS Apache RTR 200.
The bikes spotted, claimed by some as from a dealer
stockyard, continues with the same vertically lined digital instrumentation
from the concept model. The tall windscreen visor will be a boon against
windblast. The bike gets twin projector headlamps and upside down front forks.
Tyres have been sourced from Pirelli.
The positioning of the clip-on handlebar and
footpegs signal a slightly relaxed riding position. The fuel tank has been
chiseled sharply and will help the rider lock the leg while taking on a corner.
