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...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer. As exclusively reported by us earlier , Royal Enfield has launched its highest selling model, the Classic 350 , with dual-channel ABS in India today at Rs 1.61 lakh (ex-showroom Pune). The new variant is called the Classic Signals 350 and is inspired by the Indian Army Corps of Signals, which is a division that oversees military communications. Apart from the safety net and the 240mm rear disc, the company is also offering this variant in two new colour schemes - Airborne Blue and Stormrider Sand. The instrument cluster now features a low fuel light and an ABS light instead of the ammeter that's offered on the standard Classic 350. The serial...

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

Watch Video Review Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket. Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!
