Tork Kratos R: makes for a handsome bike

review

Tork Motors first made a name for itself in 2009, when its founder, Kapil Shelke, built an electric race bike that finished third at the Isle of Man TT in its class. In 2016, the company unveiled what looked like a production-ready motorcycle. The T6X, as it was called back then, had a price, and the company even opened bookings, then all went silent.

In the years that followed, Tork faced the typical start-up related challenges of securing funding, followed by the pandemic issues. In that time, the T6X also received numerous changes, including a different chassis, and more performance and range than initially promised. It also got a new name. Six years later, we finally have Tork’s first production motorcycle, the Kratos, and we have had the chance to ride it.
