What's the story
Spanish brand MITT Motorcycle has taken the wraps off the all-new 530TT Adventure in Europe with a sticker price of €7,095 (approximately Rs. 6.03 lakh).

Context
Why does this story matter?
MITT Motorcycles is a Spanish brand with over 30 years of expertise in designing, developing, and manufacturing 125cc motorcycles and scooters, primarily for the European region. However, with the recent onslaught of sub-500cc offerings from various Japanese automakers such as Honda and Yamaha, the brand decided to enter the highly-competitive middleweight ADV category to boost its sales. The 530TT Adventure should be quite popular.
Design
The bike flaunts a prominent beak and dual projector headlights
The MITT 530TT Adventure has a typical upright stance seen on ADV motorcycles. It flaunts a muscular 18-liter fuel tank, a prominent beak, dual projector LED headlights with integrated DRL, an adjustable windscreen, a raised handlebar, and a side-mounted exhaust. It gets split-type seats, a sleek LED taillamp, a TFT instrument cluster, and optional aluminum panniers. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch wire-spoked wheels.
