For the championship, TVS Racing fields its race-spec RTR 200s, tweaked to go faster on the track. The bike features stickier rubber, a free-flowing end-can, and makes more power than the road-spec motorcycle. It is also lighter than the street-spec bike as unnecessary bits are deleted. For aspiring racers who would like to participate, in addition to basic skills required to ride a motorcycle, fitness is key when one has to ride the bike hard on a race track. TVS Racing’s champion racers offer all the guidance and assistance required to build your skills during the training sessions and also during the championship. If going fast on the race track in a competitive atmosphere pumps your adrenaline, this one’s a great opportunity.
