HOM Auto Solutions has launched three Ohvale racing motorcycle models in India, all designed for track use only and aimed at nurturing young racing talent. The Italian brand's bikes, priced from Rs 7.30 lakh, are intended to help children learn, practice, and enter competitions quicker, building foundational skills before progressing to larger machines.
House of Machines, the official importer, aims to bolster the Indian motorsport scene with these tailor-made race motorcycles. The company stated, "HOM aims to bolster the Indian motorsport scene with these tailor-made race motorcycles for children, enabling them to learn, practice, and enter competitions quicker." The motorcycles are designed for circuit riding and target aspiring racers, training academies, and motorsport riders, helping them master braking, throttle control, body positioning, and cornering.
Technical specifications and variants
All three motorcycles use air-cooled, single-cylinder, four-stroke engines with carburettor fuelling, not fuel injection. They feature racing air filters, oil coolers, and share a robotically welded high-strength steel trellis frame with an aluminium swingarm. Suspension consists of upside-down front forks and rear piggyback monoshocks with adjustable compression, rebound, and spring preload. Braking hardware includes front and rear disc brakes with four-piston radial front calipers and braided steel hoses. The bikes come with racing fairings, CNC-machined footrests, Pirelli slick tyres, and an Arrow under-seat exhaust system.
Race variants gain upgrades like fully adjustable 35mm OhRacing front forks, Brembo calipers, and on the GP-2 190, a slipper clutch and quickshifter. Dry weights are kept low through fibreglass fairings and a small 3.5-litre fuel tank.
