Titan has announced the launch of Fastrack Helmets, the collection of which was revealed at the fashion show by renowned designer Prasad Bidapa. The aim is to break new ground in the riding gear and safety industry with Titan’s steadfastness coupled with the bold and edgy nature of the Fastrack brand. Helmets have always been more about simply saving your noggin, for many, a helmet is a style statement and, more often than not, an extension of your association with the motorcycle you ride. Thus, apart from being safe and secure, and meeting all ISI parameters, Fastrack helmets are being made available in a wide range of colours and featuring vibrant graphics: 24 different variants of which will be on shelves for him and her to choose from.

At the event, Bhaskar Bhat, Managing Director, Titan Company Limited said, “India has one of the highest number of two-wheelers in the world. With unorganized players currently driving the helmet business, the category has a large potential in the market. The organized helmet market is estimated at approximately Rs 400 crore, accounting for 45% of the retail market. Using our in-house design and marketing expertise and wide retail footprint we took a step to enter the helmets sector. The category is currently largely unorganized and under-served and with our superior quality product, we aim to ensure safety and comfort for two-wheeler riders.”

The new range of Fastrack helmets will become available at exclusive Fastrack stores across the country, priced between Rs 1,495 and 3,495.

Watt a Bike!

December 3, 2013 by Jim Gorde 2 Comments

Voxan Wattman 1 webFrench manufacturer Voxan have introduced the most powerful electric motorcycle in the world. The Wattman, an upscale and extremely powerful machine, is a milestone in French motorcycling history.

The Voxan Wattman uses radical technology and design, with an innovative approach to electric motorcycle construction. The smooth, yet unmistakeably aggressive design language screams business and it looks as fast as it goes. Performance is nothing short of seriously impressive. Going from what the company claims, 0-100 km/h takes 3.4 seconds, while 0-160 km/h takes 5.9 seconds. The top speed is 170 km/h. These numbers are thanks to an unbelievably advanced drivetrain which comprises of an ultra-compact 12.8 kWh Lithium-Ion battery and a star of an electric motor.

The electric motor powering the Wattman uses permanent magnets and puts out a whopping 200 PS between 7,500 and 10,500 electric motor rpm. That number is topped only by the eye-popping 200 Nm of peak torque it produces: between 1 to 6,000 revs, no less. The power is transmitted by the 35mm electric motor belt drive to the massive rear wheel wrapped in Michelin Commander II 240mm-wide rubber. Braking too is significantly advanced, using 230mm discs front and rear, with Beringer’s 4D System. The battery promises a range of 180 kilometres; not bad considering the whole bike weighs 350 kg. Furthermore, when using a ‘Combo-II quick charge’ power socket, 80% of the charge can be achieved in just 30 minutes.

The company stated, “Voxan inaugurates a new motorcycle architecture built around a motor-battery pack carrier set. The frame is replaced by an ultra-rigid exoskeleton, integrating all the components of the powertrain. This results in a very pure motorcycle without a visible technical feature.”

According to Sacha Lakic, its designer, “This aluminium exoskeleton which contains the battery is the motorcycle’s signature. You can tell from this design that it is an electric machine.”

The Voxan Wattman will be produced only on order, with each unit being hand-built in France.

Say Hello to the Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 Café Racer
The all-new Bull strikes its natural pose
Café Racer to the core, this Royal Enfield is unlike any other.
Tank decal in your view every time you stop for a breather.
Dashing! Chrome rings and analogue meters get digital assistance too.
Chrome bar-end weights and mirrors round off the Café Racer look nicely indeed.
‘EFI 535’ says it all. 535cc, 29.1 PS, 44 Nm, twin spark plugs, fuel injection: all in one.
New side panels, ankle guards, Paioli gas-charged rear suspension, Brembo 240mm rear disc and that optional exhaust pipe.
Brembo 300mm disc with Pirelli Sport Demon tyres work very well together.
The Continental GT loves the open road, and doesn’t mind the corners.
A common sight for other road users, a Café Racer passing by.
