Why does this story matter?
Keeway entered the Indian market with Vieste 300 and Sixties 300i scooters as well as K-Light 250V cruiser bike and has plans to launch five more products by the end of this year. The Hungarian bikemaker is a sister brand to Benelli and will be assembling its two-wheelers at the latter's facility in Hyderabad. The K-Light 250V rivals the Royal Enfield Meteor 350.
The cruiser sports 16-inch alloy wheels and 20-liter fuel tank
The Keeway K-Light 250V has the traditional feet-forward ergonomics of a cruiser motorcycle. It sports a large 20-liter fuel tank, a round LED headlamp, a stepped-up seat, a wide handlebar, twin exhausts, and a sleek tail section with an integrated LED taillight. The bike packs a tank-mounted digital instrument cluster and rides on 16-inch alloy wheels wrapped in wide-section tires.
It runs on a 19hp, 249cc engine
The Keeway K-Light 250V is powered by a BS6-compliant 249cc, V-twin, air-cooled engine that churns out a maximum power of 18.7hp at 8,500rpm and peak torque of 19Nm at 5,500rpm. The bike also gets a segment-first belt-drive system.
The motorcycle is equipped with dual-channel ABS
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Keeway K-Light 250V comes equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with dual-channel ABS for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the cruiser motorcycle are taken care of by inverted forks on the front side and twin shock absorbers on the rear end.
