Keeway To Launch A 300 cc Race Replica

If you want to buy the Royal Enfield Continental GT 650, Kawasaki Ninja 300, Motor Benelli TNT 250 or even the KTM 390 twins, you should wait another four months since Keeway India will be launching a 300cc racing replica and a street fighter.

Remember the Benelli TNT 300 and 302R, which had a hefty inline-4 sound? Benelli's sibling company, Keeway, from Hungary, is set to release a 300cc racing replica and a street fighter in the next four months, indicating that they may be back in a new guise.

The street fighter might be built on the MBP M naked and racing replica on the RKR sportbike, based on Keeway's international offers.

Though the new company remained tight-lipped about the engine's characteristics other than the stated 300 cc displacement, it's most likely the parallel-twin engine from the Benelli 300s of the past. If that's the case, the fantastic-sounding engine might make a spectacular return.

However, because Keeway's parent business QJ Group already shares CFMoto's engines, Keeway may launch CFMoto's 292 cc single cylinder engine. In reality, the single complies with BS-6 and is now powering 300 NK in India.

In addition to these two items, Keeway will release three more in the near future. There are 125 and 250 cc classic street bikes, as well as a 300 cc cruiser, among them. The RVKs marketed abroad might be the throwback street bikes.

With an air-cooled engine, these contemporary vintage commuters feature a basic design. They do have body panels that are visible. Neither Benelli nor Keeway have a luxury retro motorbike to compete with the Yamaha XSR or Kawasaki Z RS thus far.

In terms of the 300cc cruiser, it might be the Superlite model, which has a more developed design language than the recently released K-Lite 250V. Its engine might be shared with the other 300 cc options, as having a completely distinct engine wouldn't assist with economies of scale.

Keeway plans to introduce its first electric car next year after launching all of these eight goods.

Many Indian EV businesses have sprouted up in recent years, offering EVs mostly composed of Chinese-sourced components. QJ Group's Keeway will be the first Chinese manufacturer to offer electric vehicles in India when it introduces its car.

According to reports, the future EV might be Keeway's newly unveiled E-ZI or the Blueshark R1 because their designs are similar. The EV would compete against the Ather 450, Ola S1 Pro, Bajaj Chetak, and TVS iQube, among others, if it were to be released.
