Meet the Ostoure, a cracking super-naked musclebike concept by Iranian designer, Mohammad Reza Shojaie.
The two-wheel driven Ostoure (it means “legend” in Persian) draws its inspiration from the engravings of the Persepolis World Heritage site. Looking like an extra from the Terminator movies, the result is a brutally muscular, yet beautifully refined, concept.
At the rear the Ostoure gets a straightforward, traditional suspension set-up. The front, however, is treated to a hub-centre steering like we’ve seen on the Vyrus 985 C3. As a result the main radiator has been shrunk and a smaller one added on each side to support the main unit.
As is common with concepts such as these, which don’t exist in any form other than rendered drawings, Shojaie filled his concept to the gunwales with futuristic technology.
Its instrumentation, for example, is available as both a traditional on-board instrument cluster as well as a head-up display on the helmet's visor. This trick helmet also has air-conditioning and speakers, and connects to the bike through wireless Bluetooth technology.
The Ostoure might be nothing more than a fictional creation but it clearly shows some very strong design talent. In fact, this concept helped Shojaie clinch his place at the prestigious Istituto Europeo di Design in Italy where Shojaie will no doubt also learn more about the practical implications of designs.
