TVS BMW Motorrad tie-up plans to develop a new 300cc single street bike. It is powered by 300cc, 4 stroke, liquid cooled single cylinder engine. At first, an adventure bike like Hero Impulse was considered to develop by the alliance. Now it’s planning to launch 300cc street bike by 2015-2016.
TVS has showcased their Draken X21 concept at 2014 Auto Expo which is fully based on company’s new design philosophy. The Draken X21, naked street fighter concept gets 249.2cc, 4V, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine with 6 speed gearbox. The engine can churn out peak power of 38.47hp at 12,000rpm and peak torque of 23Nm at 9500rpm.
At the front Draken X21 gets 120/70 R17 pirelli tyres and 160/60 R17 tyres at rear. Suspension duty will be done with the help of 41mm inverted telescopic forks at the front and off-set monoshock, cast-alloy swingarm at the rear. It includes petal type disc brake at the front and rear disc brake with Anti-lock Braking System for perfect braking.
So the TVS-BMW street bike might be based on this Draken concept. TVS-BMW street bike is expected to churn out maximum power output of 36bhp. The street bike will compete with the bikes like Kawasaki Ninja 300 as well as the KTM Duke 390
