The exclusivity of the Italjet Dragster 700 Twin Superlative, presented in the last eicma edition, seems to have the days counted according to the latest information that arrives from China in relation to the possible launch of a Qjmotor version. In fact, the brand has already approved the model before the local authorities, and registered some of the main specifications with which it will have.
QjMotor Dragster 700 Twin: What we know about the model
Coinciding with the delivery of the first units of the Dragster 700 Twin of Italjet, from China the first image of its “twin brother” has been filtered, recently approved by Qjmotor, under the internal code QJ700-8K. And we refer to this expression because of the resemblance that both models present from any angle. We would even dare to say that we are facing the same model signed for the occasion by the Asian company.
It is not surprising taking into account that the bicylindrical propeller used by Dragster 700 Twin is supplied precisely by Qjmotor. This has 693 CC and is associated as standard for a 6 -relationship gearbox. Some international media suggest that it will offer a declared power of 76 hp by the 68 hp that Italjet initially approved.
However, this data is not ratified in the following specifications table, where we can observe how the maximum torque is also traced to the one declared by the Italian firm at the time: 70 nm.
Where if it seems that we find variation is in the official maximum weight figure, since the Chinese model declares 205 kilosby the 190 with which the Italian Dragster 700. The rest of essential characteristics seem identical between one and the other, with a maximum speed declared above the 190 km/h or a 15 ”tire equipment on both axes, roads with 120/70-15 tires in front and 160/60-15 behind.
Similarly, both the steel tubular chassis and the rear aluminum tilting are expected to be unchanged, as well as the inverted front fork signed by Marzocchi or the braking supplied by Brembo. Likewise, everything indicates that the escape system, in the purest MotoGP style, will be manufactured by Akrapovič, although perhaps in less noble materials than titanium, as the Dragster 700 Twin Limited Edition equips.
Finally, and as a curious fact, it is the possibility that is already considered from different Chinese media that Qjmotor offered the possibility of acquiring its new Dragster 700 Twin in automatic version. The fact that a scooter can equip such an optional way, but is what possibly ends up when the Chinese brand officially laments its new model to the market sounds weird.
