Kinetic Motoroyale has confirmed that the Hyosung Mirage 250 cruiser motorcycle will be launched in India
by March 2019. The Hyosung Mirage 250 is also known as the Hyosung Aquila GV250, and
it will arrive as the successor to the Hyosung Aquila 250, which was on sale in
India a few years ago. The new Mirage 250 features
an urban cruiser design language.
The Hyosung Mirage 250 has a kidney-shaped fuel
tank, wide handlebar, chopped front fender, split seats, a short rear mudguard
and alloy wheels. The cruiser features LED headlight and taillight, a
single-pod instrument cluster and a stylish shroud for the radiator as well.
The Hyosung Mirage 250 employs a 250 cc V-twin,
liquid-cooled engine. The fuel-injected motor is tuned to generate 25.8 hp of
maximum power at 9,000 rpm and developing 21.7 Nm peak torque at 7,000 rpm. A
6-speed transmission transfers drive to the wheel via a final chain drive.
The Hyosung Mirage 250 comes with a fuel tank
capacity of 15 litres, which, when full, gives a riding range of over 400 km.
The cruiser uses 19-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels. It has a slightly
sporty riding posture with the ‘cow horns’ handlebar and the forward-set foot
pegs. Anchorage comes from a 300 mm front rotor and a 220 mm rear disc, with
standard dual-channel ABS. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front
forks and twin coil-spring shock absorbers at the rear.
The Hyosung Mirage 250 will be locally assembled at
Motoroyale's plant in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, alongside other bikes. The
cruiser will rival the Royal Enfield Classic 350, Thunderbird 350 and the
upcoming Jawa 300 cc motorcycle. It is expected to cost around INR 3 lakh
(ex-showroom).
