The Benelli Zafferano 250 EFI has been spotted
testing in India, near Pune. The camouflaged maxi-scooter was spied by Sajo
from Team BHP. The Zafferano is on sale in Indonesia at IDR 45,550,000 OTR Jakarta.
The spy shot indicates that DSK Benelli is seriously
considering the launch of the scooter, although there is no official word. The
Zafferano 250 EFI uses a 249.7 cc single cylinder engine with fuel injection. It
puts out 21.07 PS of power at 7,000 rpm and 20.83 Nm of torque. The engine is
mated to a CVT.
For braking, the scooter employs dual discs at the
front and a single disc at the rear. The suspension duties are taken care by
telescopic forks at the front and an adjustable monoshock at the rear. The fuel
tank capacity stands at 12 litres and the scooter tips the scales at 155 kg.
The 14-inch alloy wheels use a 120-section rubber at the front and 140-section
at the rear. The twin-pod analogue instrument cluster has a digital inset as
well.
Recently, the 250cc cruiser Benelli MotoBi-250
Patagonian Eagle was also spotted testing near Pune, indicating that Benelli
has new ambitions in the Indian quarter litre segment.
