Korean manufacturer Hyosung Motorcycles has set sights on returning to the Indian market scene with an all new Mirage 250 cruiser. The firm has partnered up with Kinetic Group under the Motoroyale brand. The new bike will be launched during September 2018.
Hyosung Motorcycles had previously been involved in the Indian market under the partnership of DSK-Motowheels. When financial problems hit their partner, Hyosung had no choice but to halt all operations in India.
The Mirage 250 will be replacing the old Aquilla 250 cruiser. It will be part of the second innings for Hyosung in India. The new bike features a minimalistic approach.
It comes with a large 15-lite teardrop-shape fuel tank, multi-spoke alloy wheels, along with a stubby front and rear mudguards. It also has a single-pod instrument cluster, round headlamps with LED position lamps, as well as LED tail lights. Not to mention, it has ‘cow horn’ handlebars, offering a more sporty riding position.
The Mirage 250 features a 250cc, V-Twin engine, updated to comply with the Euro-IV emission norms. It produces 25.8bhp and 21.7Nm of torque. It has large 19 and 16-inch wheels at the front and rear. Braking is handled by discs at both the front and rear, with dual-channel ABS as standard.
