2016 TVS Akula 310 based on upcoming BMW G310R

tvs-akula-310

The impending late 2016 launch of the BMW G310R, its entry into the quarter-litre market has generated a lot of interest, and BMW Motorrad’s Indian partner, TVS, has raised that a notch with the Akula 310, a full-fairing concept bike shown at the New Delhi Auto Show.

The Akula – which means ‘shark’ in Russian – uses carbon-fibre for its bodywork, but the underlying frame and engine are straight off the G310R. This collaboration between BMW Motorrad and TVS is perhaps an indication of how seriously BMW is taking the small-capacity motorcycle market.

As reported by website asphaltandrubber, the only real detail about the Akula 310 is its weight, just shy of 136 kg. With its racetrack-ready looks, the 2016 TVS Akula 310 looks set to go straight up against the major competition in this segment such as the KTM 390/250RC and Yamaha R25/R3.

    small sport bike like this is very fun – especially around USJ track. Not for daily ride to and from work. just like the mazda miata mx5.
