The Tork Kratos X is the latest electric motorcycle from Tork Motors, a Pune-based startup backed by Bharat Forge. Known for its strong engineering base, Tork has developed the Kratos X as a high-performance urban electric bike with modern styling, strong acceleration, and practical riding comfort. Positioned as a rival to Revolt RV500 and petrol-powered 200–250cc motorcycles, the Kratos X is a solid step in India’s EV revolution.
Tork Kratos X Design and Styling
The Kratos X looks muscular with a naked streetfighter design. It gets a sharp LED headlamp, sculpted body panels, and a split seat setup. The sporty stance with slightly raised handlebars offers a mix of comfort and aggression. Alloy wheels, tank extensions, and premium graphics give it a stylish appeal. Tork has also focused on ergonomics, making it suitable for both city traffic and weekend highway rides.
Performance and Motor Specs
At the heart of the Kratos X is a 9 kW electric motor that delivers 12 bhp (9 kW peak power) and a massive 38 Nm torque. This allows the bike to accelerate quickly with instant throttle response. The top speed is around 105 km/h, making it more than enough for city and ring-road rides. Compared to petrol 150cc–200cc bikes, the Kratos X feels smoother and delivers quicker torque at lower speeds.
Battery and Range
The Kratos X comes with a 4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, giving it an impressive range of 120–150 km per charge depending on riding conditions. The battery is IP67-rated, making it waterproof and dustproof, ideal for Indian roads and monsoons. It also supports fast charging, where the battery can go from 0–80% in less than an hour. This makes it highly practical for daily riders who want convenience.
Riding Comfort and Handling
Tork has tuned the Kratos X for Indian conditions with telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, and disc brakes at both ends. The bike is equipped with CBS (Combined Braking System) for safety. Its lightweight frame and low center of gravity give it agile handling in traffic. The upright seating and wide handlebars make it comfortable for daily commutes as well as weekend leisure rides.
Smart Features and Connectivity
The Kratos X is a smart motorcycle with features like 4G connectivity, GPS tracking, anti-theft system, ride analytics, and geofencing. Riders can monitor battery health, charging status, and range through the Tork mobile app. Multiple ride modes – Eco, City, and Sport – let the rider choose between efficiency and performance. It also has regenerative braking, which helps recharge the battery while slowing down.
Tork Kratos X Price and Availability
The Tork Kratos X is priced around ₹1.90 – ₹2.10 lakh (ex-showroom) after subsidies. This makes it an affordable yet premium choice in the EV segment. Available in metro cities first, Tork is planning to expand across India gradually. Its main rivals include Revolt RV500, Oben Rorr, and petrol bikes like Bajaj Pulsar N250. With its competitive pricing, the Kratos X offers a strong value-for-money package.
