This 125cc Equivalent Electric Bike Has A Range Of More Than 400KM

Chinese electric bike maker Alrendo introduced the TS Bravo, which features a remarkable range and a fast charging time.

The company claimed TS Bravo offers more than 400km range.
Delivers 58kW and 117.4Nm of torque.
Runs on a 17.4kWh battery and weighs 245kg.

While you might think it’s just another e-bike from China, the Alrendo TS Bravo is quite interesting to take a look at.

Mainly because the makers at Alrendo somehow manage to develop a 17.4kWh battery that can deliver a range of 438km in a bike that weighs 245kg.

The bike can pump out 58kW (77.7hp) and 117.4Nm, but for the European market, the TS Bravo is restricted to just 11kW (14.7hp) and 54Nm.

Mechanically, the TS Bravo gets adjustable suspension while dual four-piston callipers handle braking at the front with a 300mm disc and a 240mm disc at the rear.

It also runs on 120/70-17 front and 180/55-17 rear tyres.

According to reports, Alrendo is also set to expand its range with the TS Alpha, which will share the same frame and design but offers higher performance.

Italian motorcycle company, Moto Morini is set to introduce four new models in India.

Both are powered by a liquid-cooled 649cc DOHC parallel-twin that delivers 60HP and 56NM.

The company made headlines in recent months since the introduction of the new middleweight adventure motorcycle, the X-Cape 650.

However, Moto Morini will now expand its reached to India with the introduction of the X-Cape 650, X-Cape 650 X, Seiemmezzo 650 Street and Seiemmezzo 650 Scrambler.

In addition, Moto Morini will also set up a new manufacturing facility in India as well as distribution network for the Asian region.

We’re particularly familiar with the X-Cape 650 and X-Cape 650 X as both model runs with 649cc parallel-twin engine capable of pumping 60hp @ 7,000rpm and 56Nm.

The X-Cape 650 will take on Aprilia’s Tuareg 660 and Yamaha Tenere 700 in India. While the brand is considered new in some part of the world, the X-Cape 650 comes with an affordable price tag compared to its rival.

Despite the lack in power, the X-Cape features premium components, including 50mm inverted Marzocchi forks, adjustable KYB rear monoshocks, Brembo brakes and a full-colour TFT display.

Meanwhile, the Seiemezzo 6 brings retro styling and the same 650cc parallel-twin mill but retuned to produced just 54hp with a higher rev range.

Similarly, it boast components like KYB suspension, Brembo brakes and dual-channel Bosch ABS.

Aprilia And SC-Project Extends Partnership

SC-Project will continue to supply exhaust for the Aprilia MotoGP team until 2024 after agreeing on a two-year extension.

SC-Project supplied Aprilia’s RS-GP exhaust system since 2021.
The Italian company becomes Aprilia’s Official Technical Partner.

Aprilia and SC-Project partnership began in 2021 with the Italian manufacturer developing the exhausts for Aprilia’s RS-GP machine.

Since then, Aprilia took its first MotoGP podium in 2021 before claiming the maiden MotoGP race win in 2022 and is currently fighting for the World Championship with Aleix Espargaro.

That said, SC-Project has become an integral part of Aprilia’s climb to world championship glory.

“A solid and ambitious project like ours needs partners who share our same values.

“The one with SC-Project is a natural bond: two great Italian companies, technological leaders in their segments, with a sporty and innovative DNA.

“This is why we are proud to announce the continuation of our relationship, a path of common growth that, I have no doubt, will lead Made in Italy to excel on tracks all over the world,” said Aprilia Racing CEO Massimo Rivola.

Also, the two-year extension will now see SC-Project become the Official Technical Partner of Aprilia MotoGP. The SC-Project exhaust will be found in Aprilia’s production race bike department, including the RS660 Trofeo and the RS250 SP.

Meanwhile, Aprilia Racing Technical Director Romano Albesiano is relishing the extended partnership.

“The exhaust system is a key element of our new V4 engine, which is proving to be one of the most competitive in MotoGP.

This is also thanks to the technical synergy with SC-Project, a dynamic and competent company with whom we have established a profitable relationship. In a championship where it is the details that make the real difference, it is essential to be able to count on a supplier that has the technology and expertise to contribute to the development of our RS-GP project,” he said.

New Details Emerge For The Upcoming Moto Guzzi V850X

By now, an all-new Moto Guzzi V850X is undoubtedly on its way.

the V850X puts out 66hp @ 6,700rpm.
features the same 853cc twin from the V7.

The V850X nameplate first appeared back in October 2021 with what seemed to be a new Moto Guzzi motorcycle.

The Italian company recently took a leap of faith with the all-new V100 Mandello, a motorcycle intended to break out of the company’s conventional motorcycle categories. The V100 combines the appeal of a naked roadster and a tourer and also features modern technology.

Moto Guzzi looks set to continue the same pursuit with the all-new V850X.

Build based on the current V7; the V850X features the firm’s twin-shock frame and the new 853cc V-Twin engine. However, the V850X gets wire-spoke wheels with Michelin Anakee rubber, signalling the bike’s off-road capabilities.

A spy shot published last year showcased a motorcycle that fitted a nose cowl incorporating an almost circular LED headlamp.

Nevertheless, further details of the V850X have appeared in European type-approval documents.

The document confirms the V850X is essentially a V7 variant, but while the frame and engine are similar, the overall dimension is different.

According to the info, the V850X is shorter and measures around half an inch lower than the V7.

The V850X is also fitted with an 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel, similar size to the V7 Stone and V7 Special. In addition, V850X is also lighter than the V7 Stone and V7 Special.

Powering the V850X is the identical 853ccc twin as the V7, but thanks to a different exhaust system, the V850X makes 66hp @ 6,700rpm instead of 64hp @ 6,800rpm.

Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a 5-speed transmission with a final chain drive. TVS claimed the Ronin could reach a top speed of 120km/with the engine retuned for better mid-range and low-end torque.

While not much power is coming out of the 200cc mill, the Ronin still flaunts some fancy features, including a 41mm Showa Big Piston USD fork and gas-charged monoshock and dual-channel ABS.

It also features two riding modes, Urban and Rain, that adjust the power and traction accordingly.

Zontes to introduce five new models in India.
the 310 X and 310 T could be among the models.

While some Chinese motorcycle manufacturers are only trying to make money by producing obscure copycats version of an established brand, there are those who are serious about contributing to the global industry.

Brands like QJMotor and CFMOTO are the best examples of Chinese two-wheel companies that are really developing affordable yet reliable motorcycles for the global market.

As such, Zontes is next in line to bring affordable – but not necessarily cheaply made – motorcycles to a new market.

While the brand has already established itself in Asian countries, Zontes is ready to take the next big step by infiltrating the world’s biggest motorcycle market, India.

To do so, Zontes will release five models in India, mainly ranging from 125cc to 310cc. According to reports, a few of those could be the 310 X and 310T2 tourers which is likely to do well in India.

Moreover, the 310 series will go up against the ever-popular Indian-made KTM 390 range. This could well be the main objective for Zontes, offering a cheaper option than the KTM 390 model in the country.
