Overview

TVS Motors India showcased a 250cc street fighter concept at the 2014 Auto Expo. Known as Draken X-21, the bike is still in concept stage and will probably see production by the end of 2015, but its design and features clearly hints at some great product offerings with exceptional technological advancements for the coming future in the Indian market. Also, the bike gives a little peak at what would be the next-generation Apache RTRs look like. It will be launched by the end of 2015 in the Indian market and presumably will be targeted at urban youths. Let's check out this little monster in detail.

TVS Draken X-21 250cc Concept has got a lot of noteworthy features and praiseworthy design elements which includes an exposed aluminum trellis frame, a compact and unique LED headlight with daytime-running lamps, bar end rear view mirrors on a nicely placed handlebar, an underbelly exhaust which is a high-performance reverse flow exhaust system according to the company to boost power and efficiency while maintaining a muscular yet minimal design, low riding position, a well sculpted fuel tank with sharp extensions and scoops for aerodynamic purposes, a short tail with a bright tail light and turn indicators, a rear step-up seat, a maintenance free battery, self-start and alloyed wheels with 120 section rubber at front and 160 section rubber at rear. This sturdy naked bike has a large wheelbase of 1340mm for a stable ride and a good ground clearance of 170mm for a bump-free ride. It has a fuel tank capacity of 10liters and a dry weight of 134kgs.

Engine and Gearbox

TVS Draken X-21 250cc Concept has got a 249.2cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-valves DOHC based engine with a maximum power of 38.5bhp at 12,000rpm and a maximum torque of 23Nm at 9,500rpm and is mated with a six speed gearbox transmission with a company claimed mileage of 33.3kmpl.
