      And this was what they showcased during the Auto Expo!!



      If the figures are anything to go by, then the kit would make the RTR the fastest production bike in India!!
      oh the performance kit specs were there..just look up earlier in the thread..20 hp..compression ratio unknown. YES..the bike was mindblowing..the pro-kitted bike is insane; the power the normal bike has in 3rd, is in 2nd on the pro-kit bike.

                  probably yes. I was talking to the head of product development (the same person whose info started this thread) and he said they dont even benchmark against the R15 and that the menace will be the fastest accelerating indian bike that will go on sale...so its safe to say it will out perform the R15

                      Not really. 11.5:1 can still run with normal gas. Its only when u cross 12:1 that it becomes radical.

                        So with the 11.5 compression, we can fill in normal 87 octane fuel?

                        No knocking nothing? How?

                          How I know this?
                          I have done this is stages on my engines. Bumped compression and at every level seen what fuel works. 12 and above, the heat produced by the engine will be much higher. It wll need mandatory 91+ octane.
                          Then 12.5 will need 97.
                          Anything above 13+ will need proper race fuel.
                          11.5 can run on 87-91 octane.

                              I din't ask how you know this! I asked how is that 11.5 compression works with 87 octane fuel.

                              I thought above a 10.5 compression requires atleast 91 octane fuel!
