The Tork Kratos is expected to be a performance-oriented motorcycle in comparison to the 150-200 cc motorcycles and will be launched on January 26, 2022.

It has been a long wait but Pune based Tork Motors will finally launch its first electric motorcycle this month. The company has announced that the Tork Kratos, formerly named as T6X, will be launched on January 26, 2022. Almost six years have been waited for the T6X to be put into production, with the model first appearing in 2016. The Kratos electric motorcycle was also recently spotted in testing form and has taken a huge leap forward since being prototyped all those years ago. You can see the T6X prototype in this throwback video below.

It is hardly surprising that Torque decided to bring the Kratos on India’s Republic Day, with Ola Electric and Simple Energy pulling off something similar on the 2021 Independence Day for their respective launches. That being said, there is a lot to look forward to on the Made in India electric motorcycle. The Torque Kratos will sport an evolved design language. Major changes include new body panels that look sharper than before. The triangular headlamps are all new, while the model gets a beefier look than the prototype.

Some of the bicycle parts that seem to have been carried include telescopic front forks, a monoshock at the rear, and disc brakes. The test mule was also equipped with a rear tire hugger. The bike will get an IP67-rated lithium-ion battery pack along with a new axial flux motor that promises an efficiency rating of 90-96 percent. Though official details have not been revealed, the battery is expected to offer a range of 100 km on a single charge and will also support fast charging.
On the Tork T6X prototype, the model was equipped with a 6 kW electric motor that developed around 8 bhp and 27 Nm of peak torque. The bike promised a top speed of 100 kmph. It will be interesting to see if the power and performance figures remain the same. Tork co-founder Kapil Shelke compared the performance of the T6X to a 200cc motorcycle. The prototype also got something called TIROS, which was Tork’s in-house analytics system and kept a tab of the bike’s performance, riding analytics, data and more. A novelty at that time, the system now has a lot in common with two-wheeler manufacturers.

The starting price of Tork T6X was pegged at ₹ 1.25 lakh (ex-showroom) and the company started accepting pre-bookings at that time. It is unclear what happened to those customers and if they will be the first to receive Kratos after all these years. In terms of pricing, the Kratos is likely to be priced around ₹1.8-2 lakh (ex-showroom), before the central and state subsidies start rolling in. Considering how expensive 200cc motorcycles are today, this would not be an unreasonable price tag for an e-motorcycle.
