Context
Why does this story matter?
Keeway entered the Indian market in May this year and has successfully expanded its portfolio to seven vehicles since then. The newest offering from the QJMotor-owned Hungarian bikemaker is a retro-inspired commuter motorcycle, the SR 125. By introducing the two-wheeler at a competitive price tag, the brand is planning to boost its sales figures drastically and capture a large chunk of the market.
Design
The motorcycle flaunts a muscular tank and round halogen headlamp
Keeway SR 125 has an old-school charm with design cues dating back to the late 1960s. It flaunts a muscular 14.5-liter fuel tank, a round headlamp unit with black housing, a wide handlebar, a ribbed-pattern seat with contrast stitching, a tubular grab rail, a circular tail taillamp, and an upswept exhaust. The motorcycle packs a single-pod instrument cluster and rides on 17-inch wire-spoked wheels.
Information
It is powered by a 125cc, single-cylinder engine
The SR 125 is backed by a 125cc, single-cylinder, two-valve, SOHC, air-cooled engine that is linked to a 5-speed gearbox. The mill churns out a maximum power of 9.7hp and a peak torque of 8.2Nm.
Safety
It is equipped with disc brakes and Combined Braking System
For the safety of the rider, the all-new SR 125 is equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with Combined Braking System (CBS) for better braking performance. The suspension duties on the motorcycle are taken care of by telescopic forks with fork gaiters on the front and dual shock absorbers at the rear end.
