Mahindra-owned Peugeot Motocycles Launches Django 125 210th Anniversary Edition

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary Limited Edition.

Back at home, we’re still waiting for the Mahindra Mojo BS6 to arrive, and we’re still waiting to actually spot a Jawa Perak out on the road. But overseas, Mahindra’s other subsidiary Peugeot Motocycles has just rolled out the stylish and patriotic Django 125 210th Anniversary Edition.

If you, like me, are moderately knowledgeable and know how to count, then you, like me, are probably pretty confused because motorised transport didn’t exist 210 years ago, so neither did Peugeot Motocycles. But the family business that preceded the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810 to manufacture coffee mills and bicycles. It’s this anniversary that this scooter is celebrating.

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary Limited Edition.

To do this, it comes wrapped in its national tricolour of bleu, blanc and rouge -- the body panels are blue and white, while the lovely quilted leather seats come finished in red. There’s also splendid red, white and blue striping that runs along the length of the scooter, and the overall result is a stylish but also pretty loud and flamboyant scooter.

A lot of show but very little go, because the Django is powered by a 125cc SOHC motor producing 10.14PS at 8500rpm and 8.9Nm at 7000rpm. It rolls on 12-inch wheels at both ends and suspension is taken care of by a telescopic fork and monoshock.

Peugeot Django 125 ABS 210th Anniversary there are only 21 units

With only 21 units on offer, you’ll need fairly deep pockets to pick one up because each one is priced at 437,800 Japanese yen or around Rs 3.06 lakh. The Anniversary Edition will go on sale on September 26, the same day that Peugeot celebrates 210 years of existence.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

The company claims the Jumbo-XT's bold and rugged block type pattern helps it in providing excellent grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Its parallel groove design helps in draining water efficiently. The Pancer-II, on the other hand, features an aligned block type design with groove channels. This helps it in providing improved stability, while also providing good grip in wet and dry conditions. TVS tyres also claims that the Pacner-II helps in improving the overall mileage as well. We'll certainly put these claims to the test once the review units arrive. Speaking on th...

BMW Motorrad Showcases Radical Electric Vision DC Roadster

The Vision DC Roadster takes the brands iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine design and gives it a rather interesting twist. The design was inspired by the BMW R 32 developed by Max Friz in 1923. BMW has also designed a two-piece functional suit that looks like a casual jacket and black trousers. BMW Motorrad is no newcomer to electric vehicles. We’ve already seen the brands Vision Next 100 concept which gave a glimpse of the company’s future vision. Now though, BMW intends to change our outlook on electric two-wheelers which are more often than not perceived as boring. And they plan on doing so with the Vision DC Roadster, an all-electric bike that gives the word unconventional a whole new meaning. The design team started off by taking its iconic 2-cylinder boxer engine and giving it a rather interesting twist. The idea was to retain its protruding design but incorporate it in an electric motor. The challenge was its packaging. You see, in an IC engine, the size of the motor ...
