TVS Racing has made a historic announcement with the first-ever TVS Asia One Make Championship. This marks a significant milestone in TVS Racing’s global roadmap. TVS Racing also records its name in history by becoming the first-ever Indian manufacturer to host its own Asia One Make Championship on a global platform. The new racing series will use the new Race-Spec TVS Asia One Make Apache RR 310 motorcycle.
TVS Racing is the pioneer of the One Make Championship and the first manufacturer to introduce it in India. TVS Racing also contributes significantly to engineering the TVS Apache series by a “Track to Road” approach.
Race-Spec TVS Asia One Make Apache RR310 – Details
According to TVS Racing, the motorcycle draws inspiration from Akula; the concept showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo. Additionally, TVS Racing says the bike incorporates TVS Motor’s racing DNA.
For uncompromised racetrack performance, the motorcycle is designed and built ground up. Additionally, the exclusively-built RR 310 also gets substantial technological updates. Powering the Race-Spec bike is a 312cc DOHC four-valve liquid-cooled engine. The engine produces a much higher power than the street-legal TVS Apache RR 310.
The engine uses forged pistons, titanium valves, and HLHD Cams to achieve a high power output. In addition to this, it gets RAM Air Intake System to increase airflow into the engine. The motorcycle uses extensive carbon-fibre bodywork to keep the weight low. The low weight translates to faster lap times. The bodywork design has low drag for better top speed on the track. In addition to this, the motorcycle features adjustable and custom-built Ohlins suspension and rides on Dunlop soft compound radial racing tyres.
