What has OHVALE launched in India?
OHVALE is an Italian motorcycle maker renowned for its compact, purpose-built racing motorcycle designed for MiniGP competition, circuit training and rider development. Now in partnership with House of Machines, the official distributor of Alpinestars and KYT helmets, it has launched the GP-0 110 Automatic, GP-0 160 4-Speed and GP-2 190 4-Speed for the Indian market.
What is the OHVALE GP-0 110 Automatic?
The OHVALE GP-0 110 Automatic is the entry-level motorcycle in OHVALE’s MiniGP race-bike range. It is a compact track-only mini GP machine designed for young and upcoming riders, racing schools and kart-track training programmes, rather than for public-road use.
It uses a 106.7cc, air-cooled, carburetted, single-cylinder, four-stroke ZS engine matched to an automatic transmission. The absence of shifting gears manually enables young riders to concentrate on fundamental aspects of their racing craft such as riding lines, braking points, body movement, corner entry, throttle control and visual awareness.
The GP-0 110 Automatic features a lightweight, race-oriented chassis, 10-inch wheels, compact bodywork, low handlebars, and rear-set footpegs. It features a 33mm upside-down front fork, an aluminium swingarm with a monoshock rear suspension system, and disc brakes at both ends.
How is the GP-0 160 different?
It’s a natural progression coming from the GP-0 110 Automatic. It features a larger 155.5cc four-stroke engine and a four-speed manual gearbox, replacing the 110’s 106.7cc engine and automatic transmission. While both motorcycles use the compact GP-0 MiniGP platform, the GP-0 160 is positioned as a more serious race machine. The manual transmission gives the rider greater control over acceleration and corner exits.
What does the GP-2 190 offer?
The OHVALE GP-2 190 is the most advanced motorcycle in the range. It is built for riders who have progressed beyond the GP-0 platform and want a larger, more serious track-only motorcycle for high-level training, MiniGP competition and racecraft development. In India, it is offered in Standard and Race forms.
It uses a 187.18cc Daytona air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine coupled to a four-speed manual gearbox. Compared to the GP-0 models, the GP-2 features a physically larger package, with 12-inch alloy wheels.
The GP-2 190 also gets race-focused cycle parts, including an aluminium swingarm, a fully adjustable piggy-back monoshock and a 220mm floating front brake disc with a Brembo radial calliper.
The GP-2 190 MiniGP also comes in a more expensive “Race” version; it is offered as the flagship of OHVALE’s MiniGP range in India. It comes equipped with a slipper clutch and quickshifter.
Who should buy an OHVALE MiniGP motorcycle?
OHVALE’s MiniGP motorcycles are designed and packaged for riders who want to learn or practise circuit racing and hone their race craft, rather than for someone looking for a regular motorcycle for commuting, touring or weekend road rides.
What are the prices of the OHVALE motorcycles in India?
OHVALE’s MiniGP range in India starts at ₹7.30 lakh for the GP-0 110 Automatic and extends to ₹12.75 lakh for the GP-2 190 Race.
