Peugeot Motorcycles have finally returned to the motorcycle scene after a 70-year hiatus. The French two-wheeler brand, currently owned by the Mahindra Group, displayed two new motorcycles, namely the P2X Roadster and the P2X Cafe Racer, at the 2018 Paris motor show.
The P2X Roadster is a classic roadster with neo-retro styling. It has similar components to its cafe racer counterpart but stands out with its rear-seat cowl, alloy wheels and clip-on handlebars. Both of the bikes come with an LED headlight, a 5.0-inch TFt screen with GPS navigation and the I-Connect system for Smartphone connectivity.
The bikes come with a 300cc, single-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled powerplant. The Mojo engine is capable of delivering 27hp and 30Nm of torque, but it is reported that the ex-Mahindra Racing team, which is now a part of Peugeot Motocycles, has further developed this platform. The engine will be Euro-V (BS-VI) compliant when the production bike goes on sale. The bikes will also be available with a 125cc engine in Europe, which is being developed by the ex-Mahindra Racing team.
According to Costantino Sambuy, the CEO of Peugeot, the brand will be focusing on Europe at the starting stage. He goes on to say that the bikes will be ready for sale in Europe by 2020. The company has yet to state where this motorcycle will be produced.
