Italjet announced the arrival of the new model Dragster 125/200 before the end of the year. At the International Two-wheeler Exhibition (EICMA), the historic Bolognese motorcycle manufacturer confirmed that production has started for over a month and the first deliveries are scheduled for December 2021. The model is the successor to the historic sports scooter that had very successful in the 90s.
The new Dragster named Urban SuperBike it is in fact a vehicle outside the box thanks also to the hyper-sporty design. The model adopts a steel tube trellis frame integrated with die-cast aluminum plates and mounts the so-called patented Independent Steering System (ISS), equipped with a new single-sided arm in forged aluminum. Italjet has chosen to equip the scooter with liquid-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder engines of 125 and 200cc DOHC twin-shaft, four valves, powered by Magneti Marelli electronic injection, which provide almost 10 kW (13 HP) in the 125cc and 13 kW ( 18 HP) in the 200cc one. The engines are Euro5 approved.
At the same time, a line was also born Power Parts to increase power and performance. To do this, Italjet relied on the best world-class specialists such as Akrapovič, Malossi, Brembo and Ohlins. Akrapovič has dedicated two tailpipes to the Dragster, one approved for road use, the other in the Racing version. Both will be available from February 2022. Malossi has developed a kit to improve the performance of the centrifugal clutch of both the 125 cc and the 200 cc engines, available from February 2022. A thermal / electronic kit for Racing use is also under development. Brembo will supply Racing brake levers and master cylinders, and Ohlins, in collaboration with Andreani Group, a suspension set. A series of carbon accessories developed directly by Italjet will also be available.
Available colors will be Red, Yellow and Black. Prices? For the 125cc version it is 5499 euros, while the 200cc starts at 5799 euros, including VAT and commissioning, excluding ancillary costs.
