Italian two-wheeler manufacturer Italjet is introducing an unconventional concept to the Indian market: a high-performance super-scooter. The company revealed its Dragster lineup for India during the EICMA event in Milan, featuring the flagship Dragster 700, which combines a powerful engine with hardware typically found on high-end motorcycles.

Italjet is entering the country through a partnership with Motohaus India, a distributor based in Kolhapur that also handles Brixton Motorcycles and VLF. The entire Dragster lineup will be assembled locally at the Motohaus manufacturing facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. The flagship Dragster 700 is projected to carry an ex-showroom price of roughly Rs 12 lakh, though official final pricing will be released closer to the market launch.

The Dragster 700 serves as the pinnacle of the brand's upcoming Indian portfolio, departing significantly from traditional scooter designs. It is driven by a liquid-cooled, 698cc twin-cylinder engine that generates 70 horsepower and 70 Nm of torque. Uniquely for a scooter, the powertrain utilizes a six-speed gearbox to emphasize its performance credentials.

Its structural and mechanical components are equally notable, featuring an exposed tubular steel trellis frame. The suspension system consists of fully adjustable Marzocchi upside-down front forks and a rear monoshock. The vehicle rides on 15-inch wheels fitted with Pirelli tires, using 120-section rubber at the front and 160-section at the rear.

Stopping power is handled by Brembo brakes, which include twin 270mm front discs and a 260mm rear disc. Standard safety electronics feature dual-channel anti-lock braking systems and traction control. Additional amenities comprise full LED lighting and a TFT instrument panel, with optional upgrades such as heated grips and an anti-theft system. Italjet plans to provide a standard two-year manufacturer warranty.

Alongside the flagship model, Italjet will bring the Dragster 459 and Dragster 300 to local buyers. The Dragster 459 utilizes a 449cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine generating 47.58 horsepower at 9,500 rpm and 41 Nm of torque at 8,000 rpm, paired with a six-speed transmission, Marzocchi suspension, Pirelli tires, Brembo brakes, dual-channel ABS, and traction control. Meanwhile, the entry-level Dragster 300 runs on a 278cc liquid-cooled engine outputting 23.8 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 26 Nm of torque at 6,250 rpm.

Italjet will officially debut in India at India Bike Week on December 4 and 5, 2026, showcasing the three scooters as its initial product rollout. Deliveries are anticipated to commence during the second quarter of 2027, with final pricing, specific regional configurations, and availability details announced at a later date.
