Based on the BMW G 310R, the TVS Akula 310 concept made its worldwide debut at the 2016 Auto Expo in Delhi earlier this year. The Akula 310 concept was the one hogging on all the attention at the TVS stall during the bi-annual event, and even took tops honours as the show’s best concept motorcycle. Akula, which means shark in Russian, defines the sharp and bold design of this motorcycle.
Even as various reports suggest that the launch of the Akula 310 will take place later this year, the company has gone ahead and released a video of the motorcycle that was unveiled to commemorate 33 years of TVs racing. In the following video, the Hosur based manufacturer has showed the track spec version of the Akula 310. This version is powered by a race tuned liquid cooled 310 cc engine.
Other features on this track spec motorcycle include RAM air induction; gill vents for thermal efficiency, an aluminium trellis sub-frame, a carbon fibre body that helps shed excess weight, lightweight aluminium components and a light weight race exhaust. Suspension duties are taken care of by a race developed upside-down suspension on the front and a monoshock suspension at the rear.
