TAGLINE - "ONLY FOR REAL HUNTERS"
About the Ghost Hound
Composed under the tag line, “Only for Real Hunters”, the stance of the bike is purely depicted from the Meteor 350, while the front headlight and side cowls derive inspiration from the muscular physique, sharper jaw lines and front third of the Rajapalayam. The Satin Black body tone flows to a rear short tail detailed with intricate “Kolam” engraving (traditional Rangoli design in Tamil Nadu) on the levers, handle bar weights and the exhaust tail pipe to complete the fiery look of the “Ghost Hound”. The riders triangle is intact to keep the nature of the bike as an all-terrain cruiser. Alongside, to maintain the “one-man machine” synonym, the bike is a low-slant single seater with contrasting coloured alcantara and hand stitched embellishments.“
CONCEPT
The Indian 'Ghost Hound' or popularly known as "Rajapalayam' is a South Indian dog breed having a close connect with the state of Tamil Nadu, much like the origin of the oldest global motorcycle brand in continuous production 'The Royal Enfield'.
The Rajapalayam was bred to be the complete hunter- as lone wolfs, in pairs or in packs, fulfilling the functions of a catch dog and are relentless pursuers not intimated by complex terrains or water bodies. Hunter and guard of the royalty and aristocracy in South India, the Rajapalayam mostly "one-man dogs are muscular and heavier boned compared to their counterparts, but defined by the basic body structure, larger head, powerful jaws and depth of the chest transudes speed and physical ability.
