2017 Peugeot Speedfight 125 and Metropolis
Peugeot Scooters has begun its 2017 model lineup
offence with the Peugeot Speedfight 125 and Peugeot Metropolis. Both the
scooters have been unveiled earlier at EICMA.
The 2017 Peugeot
Speedfight 125 gets a new SmartMotion 125 cc mill with Low Friction Efficiency
(LFE) technology. The engine is capable of producing 11 PS of maximum power and
10.8 Nm of peak torque. The scooter gets Synerjet single indirect ignition
system and Peugeot’s patented Alternative Current Generator (ACG) Management.
ACG helps in disabling the flywheel during
acceleration and deceleration. It provides more power during the starting
phase. Peugeot claims that the 2017 Peugeot Speedfight 125 is more fuel efficient
than the existing models. The scooter also gets Synchro Braking Concept which
distributes braking between front and rear wheels. Set to hit the streets in
Summer 2017, the Peugeot Speedfight 125 is the first scooter by Peugeot to get
all-LED lighting.
The 400 cc mill in the 2017 Peugeot Metropolis
churns out 35.35 PS and 38 Nm. The ABS enabled three-wheeler gets switchable
traction control and hazard warning lights.
The 2017 Peugeot Metropolis is their second
three-wheeled scooter and is now available in Euro 4 avatar. At the heart of
the scooter is a PowerMotion 400 cc LFE mill capable of producing 35.35 PS of
maximum power and 38 Nm of peak torque. The scooter gets a redesigned dash with
a handy USB port to charge your smartphones.
The 2017 Peugeot Metropolis is the first scooter in
the world to get hazard warning lights which are automatically triggered during
emergency braking. Switchable traction control is also available with two
riding modes (Urban and Sport). The new braking system (with ABS) developed by
Continental and Nissin is claimed to reduce braking distance by 23 percent over
the outgoing version.
Peugeot will be introducing the Peugeot Metropolis,
along with a limited edition RX-R version in Summer 2017.
