TVS Racing Team Sets New High in Valley Run | Tech Reddy

TVS Racing – India’s premier racing team – has rewritten an important chapter in history.

In the Indian Open Unrestricted Class, the team recently won two medals at the Valley Run 2022 drag racing event at the Aamby Valley airfield in Pune (Up to 390 cc). With TVS’s Apache RR 310 and 40 years of racing experience, the factory racing team broke the previous record for fastest quarter mile time in the Indian Open Drag Racing Class.

Jagan Kumar, the 10-time INMRC champion of the TVS Race, set a new quarter-mile record with an impressive time of 11.523 seconds. With a time of 11.996 seconds for the quarter mile, KY Ahamed came in second. The TVS Apache RR 310’s significantly modified engine produces double the power as the bike’s street counterpart.

Motorcycle modification

The TVS Racing team has used an electronically controlled turbocharger and made other relevant powertrain upgrades, making it another technological highlight. The engine was fitted with titanium connecting rods, lightweight forged pistons, and titanium valves. With quick control and start-up, the electronic system is programmed and closed. The power-to-weight ratio is improved by the aerodynamically efficient carbon fiber body construction and carbon fiber wheels and subframe.

In order to have a stable effect and less weight transfer during high altitude, the riding height was reduced. By lengthening the swing arm, the wheelbase was extended, which effectively shifted the center of gravity forward and prevented the wheels from accelerating. The motorcycle was 37% lighter than its street-legal counterpart due to additional event preparations.
