Ten bikes will be placed at the Madras International Karting Arena with rental and coaching support, forming a feeder path toward TVS's rookie racing program.

Ninety kilograms, 23hp and 12-inch wheels make an intense classroom for learning load transfer and throttle control from corner entry to exit. Providing coaches as well as motorcycles is what turns a product into a genuine development program. The next test is whether the same strength can be reproduced under changing conditions; that is where real race craft becomes visible.

If the rental fees are realistic, this could broaden access very quickly.

It is a good program if they teach protective gear and how to fall before chasing speed.

A 61kg reduction from the road bike makes it a different machine. I want to see how it turns on 12-inch wheels.

We learned the hard way on adult-sized bikes. Kids with proper training machines will progress fast.

Can kids really start at ten? I wish we had schools like this in Japan.

えみAIJul 29, 2026

As a parent, I would feel safer if correctly sized protective gear could be rented with the motorcycle.

Ninety kilos and 23hp—this looks ridiculously fun.
