MAD HATTER
Design Brief – To design one of its kind Harley Davidson Chopper based on Night Rod
Design Philosophy – To create a muscular design showcasing Harley Davidson’s torquey character utilizing the latest global technology
Mad Hatter is a ground-up custom based on a Harley Davidson Night Rod powered with a 1200cc liquid-cooled Porsche powerhouse. With Legend air-ride suspensions (USA) installed on both the front girder setup and rear single side rear swing-arm, ground clearance for this build could be varied from 3″ to 8″. It sports 23″-130 wide front and 18″-240 wide rear CNC phantom cut Whistler Renegade Wheels (USA). The front end is accessorized with rear-view mirrors from Rizoma (Italy), and a Digital Odometer from Motogadget (Germany).
From ground-up custom chassis to complete body work, parts and accessories, a staggering total of 144 individual parts were hand-fabricated in-house.
A combination of Gloss Black and Matte grey paint job with a fine purple Mad Hatter theme pinstripe artwork has been executed on the headlight, fuel tank and rear scoop.
NEELKANTHA
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a bagger based on Interceptor 650
Design Philosophy – Curvy Character Lines, Metal Art and the Latest Tech were the 3 pillars of our design ethos
Royal Enfield is a brand that resonates with heritage and vintage vibe. Their motorcycles have a soul and character to them. They adhere to the motto “Pure Motorcycling” and their motorcycles comply with it in every aspect.
“Neelkantha” – Our third build sponsored by Royal Enfield is the world’s first custom bagger based on Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Dictated with traditional bagger styling and stance, it features front and rear air ride suspensions.
With the push of buttons mounted on the ape handlebars, the ground clearance varies from 2.5 inches to 7.5 inches.
The front end features a hand-crafted diverging fairing sporting an LED rectangular headlamp mounted on a CNC girder fork set up machined out of 6081 grade Aluminium. The front downtube features a radiator grill with an Aluminium cut-out rivetted with an SS mesh tunneling ample fresh air to the oil cooler mounted behind it. The hand-beaten fuel tank replicates the Interceptor tank but is slightly bigger in proportion to match the bagger theme and flow.
To break the monotony of the solid color the saddle bags and fuel tank feature buffed and bead-rolled aluminum panels. A 12-led setup powers a custom tail light with Royal Enfield insignia.
A total of 15 parts have been CNC machined out of 6081 aluminum including front foot boards, rear foot pegs, front girder stay, handle risers, exhaust tips, tail light mount, rear fender bow, fuel tank cap, and logos.
ROADSTER - GT 535
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a roadster motorcycle based on the Royal Enfield Continental GT 535
Design Philosophy – To explore engineering solutions and marry them with Motorcycle dynamics
Royal Enfield is a brand that resonates with heritage and vintage vibe. Their motorcycles have a soul and character to them. They adhere to the motto “Pure Motorcycling” and their motorcycles comply with it in every aspect.
With the same philosophy, we approached this build challenging ourselves with engineering solutions that have never been attempted or executed in the Indian Automotive Industry.
For starters, we designed and fabricated a one-off Single Side Swing Arm for 130 wide tires. A custom sprocket with integrated Disc brake setup. Both being the first in the industry.
TNT original Custom Bash plates for GT. Hand-stitched tan leather side bags with laser-cut TNT tag. Rerouted titanium-wrapped Exhaust System. Higher Ground Clearance. Side mounted under the seat number plate. Clean-looking rear wheel with stamped Royal Enfield Logo. Single side-mounted custom rear fender. Side Mounted Headlamp with Facia race tagged # 17. Hand stitched Tan leather Roadster Seat. Roadster stance blended with Red & Blue.
ROOSTER
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a beach trike on Goa theme based on Himalayan 411
Design Philosophy – Conceiving a trike that rules the sandy beaches and resonates Goan vibes
“Rooster” – Our second build sponsored by Royal Enfield company, a beach trike based on a Royal Enfield Himalayan.
Home to all major music festivals and motorcycling events “Goa” is the most flamboyant city in India. This build is a reflection of Goan culture with blue, white and yellow representing the sky, ocean and beach.
We approached this project very methodically as loose sand is a very tricky terrain.
The tires needed to gain some weight and proportion so that they don’t dig in the sand.
A differential is a must if you want to cruise on a sandy beach so we borrowed one from an ATV and customized the stock swingarm to accommodate the same. And if you still somehow manage to get yourself stuck, it features reverse gear and off-road fat knobby tires to rescue you.
The front end features tall upside-down suspensions imported from Japan with a twin headlamp setup and a sports fat front tire that does not dig in the sand. Rooster trike features 2 high-wattage weatherproof speakers installed in the side panels just that you have the full Goa vibe while cruising down the beach. It was an absolute joy to ride and drift “Rooster” down the beach with the Royal Enfield team.
HERO FLAT TRACKER
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a flat tracker for EICMA 2018 based on Xpulse 200T
Design Philosophy – A super light build with X Pulse 200T design cues accentuated into a flat tracker profile
Hero Moto Corp is the world’s largest 2-wheeler brand and their impact on Indian Automotive Industry has been significant. They are the brand that replaced scooters and put an average Indian on a motorcycle.
HERO wanted something special to be displayed at EICMA 2018 and TNT Moto Designs, was called upon for the job. We prepared over 50 renders just to reach that one final design. The brief was to prepare 5 different categories of renders –
Café Racer, Scrambler, Cruiser, Neo/Naked Sports and Flat Tracker. Flat Tracker was shortlisted and a brand new Xpulse 200T arrived at the workshop (prior to its official launch!!!).
The front end was upgraded to an upside-down suspension with a taper-milled aluminum top t-plate and bash plate. The front facia rests on a milled aluminum trellis frame with no front brakes for flat tracking. The chassis was goose-necked in the front to reach the desired ergonomics.
The exhaust was swept up and now channels beneath the side panels. An Integrated tail, super flat saddle, and hand-crafted fuel tank (following the same lines as xpulse) make this xpulse perfect for flat tracking. With all these changes we managed to shed almost 18 kgs from the stock motorcycle. We were honored to have worked on this project with HERO MOTO CORP, our work being displayed and appreciated @ EICMA2018.
DELILAH
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a vintage chopper based on Jawa 250 – 2 Stroke
Design Philosophy – A lean machine clad in vintage monotone colors and super light on its feet
Delilah is 1972 Java which we found in a scrap yard. It was then utilized in the “motorcycle pathshala” program in which interns apply for 2-3 month training period and we teach them how to design, create, and fabricate a complete ground-up custom motorcycle.
The chassis was converted to a hardtail set up with a girder front-end and spring-cushioned leather saddle. The fuel tank, fenders, electrical box, and exhaust chambers are all hand-beaten. With 21-inch tires both front and rear, the build looks very old school.
We painted it a dull white and electric blue combination just to make the tank pop. This one is probably one of the cleanest builds we have done so far.
SOORAJ
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a vintage build based on a Sooraj diesel motorcycle
Design Philosophy – To create an amalgamation of a vintage Triumph Speed Twin chop and a diesel engine
Sooraj was the second mass-produced diesel motorcycle in the world. Saharanpur-based company Suraj Automobiles produced diesel motorcycles with a 4-speed gearbox on Royal Enfield gearbox fitting the Italian Lambardini 325 CC diesel engine. The company advertised fuel efficiency of 86kmpl and most of them are still in running condition.
We were fortunate enough to meet Mr. Aditya (owner of Sooraj automobiles) to remodel the first motorcycle that came off the production line – “Numero Uno”. Triumph Speed Twin was the inspiration for the build.
A complete ground-up chassis was built with a front girder and disc brake setup. New old-school philosophy, look old but ride new. Complete ground-up build where only the engine was salvaged from the donor motorcycle and everything else was fabricated.
The build was painted in a deep maroon pattern with chrome accents to resonate and reflect the vintage era.
DOMINO'S DELIVERY CAR
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a mass-order delivery vehicle
Design Philosophy – To create an affordable solution for mass deliveries, representing the brand image as well
Jubilant FoodWorks Ltd. (Dominos & Dunkin Donuts) approached us with a build for delivering pizzas. The aim was to customize a vehicle to carry at least 30, large-size pizzas at 70 degrees Celsius and cold drinks at 4-5 degrees Celsius in order to meet demand for mass orders dealing with a party/gathering.
A Chevrolet “Beat” was chosen as an affordable and viable solution for this project. The rear seats were removed and 2 ovens (with DC heating elements) were fabricated to be installed in that space to keep the pizzas at 70 degrees Celsius.
The boot was equipped with 2 automotive dc operated refrigerators. The rear door was jammed in place and the window was widened to grant access to those ovens. A heatshield was installed between and ovens and the car floor as the fuel tank sits right beneath the rear seats. The DC operating refrigerators were installed in the boot to carry cold drinks. The co-driver seat was replaced with a box carrying tissues, seasoning, pepper and ketchup.
The roof was mounted with a glowing LED sign and the build was wrapped with Dominos colour theme graphics.
RAPTOR
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a Café Racer based on Harley Davidson x440
Design Philosophy – To create a machine muscular enough as per Harley pedigree but light enough to have a café racer agility
What if Harley Davidson decided to build a limited-edition café racer?
The wildness associated with the vision is that, on one hand, you have Harley Davidson, a historic brand that is known for their Torquey muscular cruisers enabling you to cruise in an upright position and forward foot controls and on the other hand you have Café racers, a build type that is light on its feet and has a very committed stance with its clip-on bars and rear set foot pegs.
These 2 philosophies are so wide on the spectrum because Harley Davidson is a brand that was established in the US, a huge land mass with wide freeways going miles, calling for cruiser motorcycles suiting their demographic and on the other hand Café Racers were born in the UK where you have narrow streets and a lot of corners hence pushing the riders to shed weight from their motorcycles and make them more corner friendly.
So, the challenge was to build a Café Racer based on Harley Davidson pedigree. A build that looks muscular and bulky but is super agile and lightweight. A build that has new-school tech but old-school charm as well. A build that is both Modern and Vintage. A neo-retro Harley Davison café racer. I think, Engineering challenges like these are what we strive and thrive for.
The approach of the build process is pretty similar to what an OEM does when they are working on an existing platform. We started with hand sketches, graduated to Photoshop sketched and parallelly scanned the motorcycle for 3d data. Once a sketch was finalized, we designed all the remaining parts in CAD. Prototyping and Fabrication initiated post-3D completion.
To achieve muscular aesthetics, we chose 5 16 balloon/bobber tires but mounted them on aluminum alloy wheels. Clip-on T plates, complete Subframe and front fender fittings have all been CNC machined. A lot of details have been added to the CNC components, as in the top subframe plate houses the X440 logo underneath the seat cowl which is only visible when you take off the clip-on seat cowl, the lower section of the same plate carries HD X TNT Motorcycles logos, to represent the partnership and sports spread-out HD Sheild logos throughout. We have added a performance air filter and a completely hand-crafted Stainless-Steel exhaust to enhance the engine performance. A heavily custom swingarm (for mono-shock setup) with Showa Rear Shock that enables quick and smooth cornering. The entire bodyline i.e. front fender, Headlight Cap and Rear Cowl, is done in Carbon Fiber and only weighs 880 gms. A monocoque rear seat cowl that mimics the fuel tank design language of the saddle, is cladded in vintage tobacco leather by Trip Machine, who are famous globally for their leather craftsmanship, to resonate with weathering, aging and taste of the bygone era. Rear set footpegs have been fabricated in a trellis frame style to mimic the chassis. The battery now rests beneath the mono-shock in order to bring the CG down for better handling and cornering.
The complete project was executed in 50 days span including the designs on paper, photoshop, 3D designing – CNC components and Carbon Fiber molds, 3D printing, Mold designing, Carbon Fiber molding, CNC machining, sourcing, complete fabrication, paint job and assembly, most of which was executed inhouse.
The build was aptly named “RAPTOR” for its muscular aesthetics and agility. We are honored to be associated with Harley Davidson, a brand that has defined the American motorcycle experience for over a century and we hope to justify this opportunity by delivering a build that takes you to the Past and the Future, simultaneously.
HOOLIGAN
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a vintage Café Racer based on BMW 310 R
Design Philosophy – Conceiving a café racer that embodies modern tech with vintage aesthetics
Hooligan represents the revolting era of motorcycles, the era of ton-up boys, and the golden era of café racers. The project bike BMW 310 R is a very modern-looking street motorcycle that needed a lot of design work in order to make it look vintage and modern.
We designed and created, a custom trellis subframe in order to achieve that typical café racer line. The modern-looking front end was replaced with a vintage round headlamp. A curvy scoop was designed and fabricated to carry those same design cues at the rear end.
A complete ground-up SS exhaust was designed and fabricated for the build that was coupled with a performance air filter to balance the input and output. We ended up shedding 12 kgs from the original build and increasing around 1.8 HP power.
VINT-E
Design Brief – To design and fabricate a vintage-inspired electric cycle for tourism purposes. Weight target was 40 Kg and the range target was 70 kms.
Design Philosophy – Vintage, Light Footed and Affordability were the 3 design ethos for this build
Vint-E was a very challenging project and was executed very methodically.
The target was to build a machine that could be paddled, throttle operated, or do both i.e. battery assist feature.
The build was designed to mimic a scrambler motorcycle from the 1930s. The first decision our engineering team took was to go with Aluminium for the structure of the build.
In order to further tackle the weight problem, we fabricated fuel tank storage, and front and rear fenders in Fibre Plastic.
The Battery and BMS are installed inside the mock engine chamber which is fabricated in PP plastic. A hub motor is installed in the rear wheel to keep the weight as low as possible. 26” tires were selected to tackle the terrain neighboring Nature Resorts and Hotels.
Final Weight Achieved – 38 Kgs
Assist Range – 90+ km
LADAKH 42 – JAWA
Design Brief – To design and fabricate an Adventure Tourer that could tackle the rough terrains of Ladakh
Design Philosophy – An adventure tourer with a taste of 1980s design language and modern performance
Jawa was founded in 1929, a brand almost a century old carries the design language once appreciated by our grandfathers. The term organic motorcycle suits them the best.
Ladakh 42, was a challenging project as the technical challenges the Himalayan terrain offers are not to be taken lightly. Also, the total design and build time was just 30 days.
The design features long travel suspensions both front and rear.
A 21” tall front tire to tackle the tricky terrain coupled with a beak fender and a facia.
The build was designed and fabricated in 25 days and rode straight to Ladakh and back to our workshop in Delhi.
