Hyosung
GD 250 R
Hyosung
has been struggling from a long time to make its place in the Indian market,
most launches of it failing due to the hefty price tags and the rise in
competition, which mostly comes with a lower price and higher power. With all these
problems in the way, the bike maker still wishes to make a bet and this time we
expect the GD250R for their rescue.
The
GD250R looks much sharp than any of the Hyosung offerings till date. It comes
with a huge underbelly exhaust system, which looks really different than
others. The front houses twin projectors and the side fairing looks even
throughout the machine.
It
features a fully digital instrument console, which comprises of a single LCD
panel showing all the values like speed, distance and rpm.
The
best part of the bike comes here when we see the engine part. The GD250R is
powered by 249 cc, single cylinder motor, producing 28 Hp @ 8500 rpm and 24 Nm @ 7000 rpm. The same power was earlier generated through a double cylinder
motor by Hyosung. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The motor is said to be
quiet responsive and the reduced body weight facilitates the same.
The
front comes with a 300 mm single disc brake whereas the rear is equipped with a
230 mm unit. The suspension work in the front gets 37 mm upside down forks and
the rear being handled by dual side aluminum swing arm. It weighs around 160 kg
and an excellent combo of 110/70 and 150/60 tires have been used for the front
and rear respectively.
Hyosung
is said to launch the GD250R in Silver, White and Black shade with an expected
price tag of US$ 3.286.
