The Tork Kratos is also available in a more powerful Kratos R variant that gets more features.
Pune based Tork has finally launched its much anticipated (and delayed) electric motorcycle on January 26. Now called the Kratos, it is available in two variants, Kratos and Kratos R are designed to cater to our unique road conditions. Here are five things you should know about the made-in-India Kratos and the sportier Kratos R
Tork Kratos: variants
Tork has launched its electric motorcycle in two variants – Kratos and Kratos R. Over the base Kratos, the Kratos R variant gets a more powerful motor, fast charging capability of 0-80 percent in 60 minutes, connected tech like track analytics, geofencing, ride analytics, motor walk assists, and free two-year access to the Tork charging network.
Tork Kratos: powerful motor
The Tork Kratos gets a motor that produces 4kW continuous power, 7kW of peak power and 28Nm of torque, allowing it a 0-40kph acceleration time of 4sec and a top speed of 100kph. The Kratos R gets a different motor that makes 4.5kW of continuous power, 9kW of peak power it claims a 0-40kph time of 3.5sec and a top speed of 105kph. Tork has designed and developed its own axial flux motors in house.
Tork Kratos: range
The 4kWh Li-ion battery pack is common between the two bikes and is housed in an aluminium casing, giving it an IP67 weather protection rating. Both, the Tork Kratos and the Kratos R, get an IDC-rated range of 180km but Tork claims the motorcycles have a real-world range of up to 120km in Eco mode, 100km in city mode, and 70km in sport mode.
Tork Kratos: underpinnings
The Tork Kratos is built around a trellis chassis which primarily houses the battery pack while the motor is housed in the swingarm. It comes with 17-inch alloy wheels that get tubeless tyres as standard. Its tyre sizes are 90/80-17 at the front and 120/80-17 at the rear. It has a ground clearance of 165mm as well as a seat height of 785mm. Tork tells us that its motorcycle will look and feel like a conventional bike to ride, a claim supported by the 140kg kerb weight, which is much higher than the 108kg Revolt RV 400 and about on par with most 150-160cc motorcycles
Tork Kratos: prices
After Fame II and state subsidies, the Kratos will cost you Rs 1.07 lakh while the Kratos R will set you back by Rs 1,22,999 (both prices, ex-showroom, Pune).
