Italjet, the renowned Italian brand known for its outrageous, sporty scooters, has just unveiled its latest creation: the Dragster 700 Twin. But don’t call it a scooter—this machine’s specs put it in a class of its own.
A Powerhouse Engine of Dragster 700 Twin
The Dragster 700 Twin boasts a 692cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine with a 6-speed transmission, delivering an impressive 68 bhp and a top speed of 190 kph. These specs are more akin to a mid-displacement naked bike than your average scooter, reflecting Italjet’s commitment to high performance. This powerful engine is sourced from Benelli, ensuring top-tier performance and reliability.
High-End Hardware
Backing this formidable engine is hardware from some of the best names in the industry. The braking system is entrusted to Brembo, while the suspension duties are managed by Marzocchi USD forks and an Ohlins monoshock. Additional features include a steering damper, a Ducabike CNC clutch cover, and an Akrapovic exhaust system, all contributing to the Dragster 700 Twin’s exceptional performance and handling.
Extreme Design
True to Italjet’s reputation, the Dragster 700 Twin sports an extreme and sinister design. The front end features gnarly winglets, and the absence of body panels exposes a 16-litre fuel tank and underseat twin exhausts. This design makes the Dragster 700 Twin look like a cross between a Ducati Panigale and a Yamaha T-Max, exuding a menacing yet alluring appeal.
Limited Edition Exclusivity
In a nod to exclusivity, Italjet will produce only 500 examples of the Limited Edition Dragster 700 Twin, priced at Rs 13.56 lakh. This price point places it in the same league as the Aprilia RS 660, but the Dragster 700 Twin stands out with its unique blend of power, design, and rarity.
The World’s Fastest Production Scooter?
While Italjet insists that the Dragster 700 Twin is not a scooter, its performance specs might just earn it the title of the world’s fastest production scooter. This blend of power, design, and exclusivity makes the Dragster 700 Twin a true standout in the world of high-performance two-wheelers.
For enthusiasts and collectors alike, the Italjet Dragster 700 Twin represents a bold step forward in design and performance, promising a ride that is both thrilling and exclusive.
