AKULA which is the name of this concept bike is a tribute to the TVS Racing’s dominant racing heritage of almost 33 years. The name Akula in Russian stands for ‘Shark’ which the motorcycle looks like considering the heat management gills on its body and a dorsal fin underneath the seat, making the bike aerodynamically efficient.
As you can figure out just by a glance that this motorcycle is a track machine. But what you don't is how track focused this bike is. Well this should give you an idea. The list of equipment in the bike is impressive starting from USD forks, radial calipers, highly stiff space frame chassis as well as lightweight carbon fiber bodywork. Aluminium sub frame and the cast alloy swing arm keep the dynamics under control and gives flexibility to rider. The bodywork is the result of endless hours in the wind tunnel to fine tune a slippery shape and tucked in race ergonomics. The heat management gills in the body as well as dorsal fin underneath the seat gives it’s a characteristic shape and aids in aerodynamic efficiency. Other features include a full function digital speedo, on board gyro cameras and a steering damper for additional stability.
A production spec Akula 310 is slated for launch by early 2017.
