Tularis 800
Robin Tuluie, who once used to work with Polaris
and who’s now with the Renault F1 team, has come up with this unique motorcycle
– the Tularis 800 – which two-stroke fanatics should love. The bike is fitted
with a two-stroke, 772cc parallel-twin (taken off a Polaris snowmobile!) that
produces a massive 183 horsepower at 8,700rpm. With a measured 161bhp at the
rear wheel and a dry weight of 119 kilos, you can probably imagine what the
performance is going to be like…
While the engine is from Polaris, the Tularis’ chassis is a custom-built unit
that makes liberal use of materials like carbonfibre, magnesium and aluminium.
Ohlins suspension components are used at both ends. With a better
power-to-weight ratio than some 1990s 500cc GP racebikes, the Tularis 800 should
certainly be an insane ride…
