Benelli, Keeway, QJ Motor, Zontes, Benda & MBP Bikes Showcased at Auto Expo 2023.
Even though this year’s Auto Expo 2023 was a bit too cold for motorcycles, we saw a lot of EV 2-wheelers from lesser EV manufacturers. But when it came to petrol-powered bikes, only one firm existed: Adishwar Auto Ride, which displayed models from Benelli, Keeyway, QJ Motor, Zontes, and Benda.
The business introduced 16 new bikes in addition to its entire existing portfolio, but only one of them—the Keeyway SR250—was released. A new brand, the MBP, or Moto Bologna Passione, was then introduced with two of their motorcycles in India. Even though all the items on show were made in China, there were some real treasures, such as some maxi scooters and cruiser bikes.
Here, we take a brief look at the products that the brands will display to attract customers.
Auto Expo 2023: Benelli Leoncino 800
The Benelli Leoncino 800, which recently received a new chassis and suspension, will be showcased by the Italian manufacturer of premium sports bikes. A 754cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, twin-cylinder engine powers this motorbike, which produces 81 horsepower and 67 Nm of peak torque. The top speed of this bike is limited to 190 kmph.
Auto Expo 2023: Benelli 752S
Additionally, Benelli will showcase the 752S middleweight naked bike, powered by a 752cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine that produces 77 horsepower and 67 Nm of peak torque. The Benelli 752S is expected to compete with models like the Kawasaki Z650, Ducati Monster 797, and the Triumph Street Triple 765 when released.
Auto Expo 2023: Keeway SR 250
The Keeway SR 250 will be on display thanks to the keeyway. It is speculated that the design of this motorbike will be similar to the SR 125, which is already in the Indian market. However, it will get a 250 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled mill which is more powerful. The exact power output of the bike is yet to be revealed. Once released, the Keeyway SR 250 is expected to compete with models like TVS Ronin and Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
Auto Expo 2023: Keeway LFC 700
The Hungarian company’s flagship cruiser LFC 700, will be on display. The bike has two versions: normal and high power. Its engine produces 92 horsepower and 63 Nm of peak torque. The 680cc, four-cylinder engine will be available in both configurations.
The Keeway bikes are advertised to reach top speeds of 170 and 190 kmph, respectively. The fact that this motorcycle sports a massive 310-section rear tyre, ready to grab attention, is noteworthy.
Auto Expo 2023: Keeway-Benda BD500 cruiser
The BD 500 is another Keeway-Benda cruiser the company will showcase at the Business booth. A 496 V4 engine that produces 55.5 horsepower and 45 Nm of peak torque powers this motorbike.
