Motorcycle tourism in India is growing in a rapid phase. Indians when wish to go for long rides especially to unexplored terrains, they usually take existing vehicles to those kind of tours. On the other hand there are motorcycles designed for the sole purpose of adventure touring. And those are very expensive for many Indians to afford. The project is about designing an affordable adventure tourer motorcycle to enable more Indian people to go for such touring. The idea is to take an existing commuter motorcycle from India, change its ergonomics for the purpose of on road and off road touring, consider the equipment Indians would like to carry and position them on the bike considering the usage pattern. Further the styling should also reflect the character of adventure touring. Project 2 | IDC - IITB ADVENTURE TOURING MOTORCYCLE FOR INDIA The design process starts with internet study about the existing adventure tourers and the overall market of these kinds of motorcycles. Study on what Indians carry for touring and what is their view of an adventure touring motorcycle is done. Study of Indian two wheeler market and where does this segment fit in is analyzed. A design brief is made with all the insights derived during the research. In stage 2, Quick ideations and renders were made. A few interesting sketches were selected and developed to get some direction in the project. Ergonomics of the new vehicle is checked by building a rig. Different height users ranging from 5th to 95th percentile were selected and tested on the rig. The optimal positioning of the luggage was iterated using a 3D model. Using that as an underlay, more concepts were made and evaluated. In stage 3, the most promising concept is then taken for more detailing and detailed renderings were made. This was then taken to a tape drawing and 1:3 scale clay model was made.
