TVS Akula 310 Concept
The Akula concept racer, as TVS claims, is a tribute to the TVS Racings dominant racing heritage of almost 33 years. At first glance, one would know that this motorcycle was bred in and for the track. The lightweight carbon fiber bodywork, the aggressive looks and the all in all black theme make it look like it was meant to do one thing only, be the fastest motorcycle on the track. The engine is probably identical to the BMW G310R which has been jointly developed by BMW and TVS.
In terms of performance, the Akula is equipped with a 6-speed quickshift gearbox for those tight corners. The USD forks, radial calipers, highly stiff space frame chassis added with an aluminum sub frame and cast iron swing arm makes us realize that TVS wanted to make this motorcycle as light as they possibly could and provide flexibility to the rider without jeopardizing the dynamics of the motorcycle. The absence of a rear mud-guard makes it pretty clear that weight was a serious issue TVS was focused on. 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. Paired with on board gyroscopic cameras and a steering damper, these features make the bike light, aerodynamic and stable which when added stands for very, very fast. Also from the looks of it, the Akula flaunts Michelin Pilot tires on it which should provide tremendous grip on the tracks.
