Three Italjet Scooters Unveiled At EICMA 2026: Dragster 300, Dragster 459 & Dragster 700
All of these Italian scooters look unusually sporty, yet quite appealing
Italian scooter manufacturer Italjet is gearing up to enter the Indian market with three models from its performance-focused Dragster range. The company has showcased the India-bound Dragster 300, Dragster 459 and Dragster 700 at EICMA 2026 in Milan. Its entry into the country will be facilitated by Motohaus India, which currently distributes Brixton Motorcycles and VLF (Velocifero).
Distinctive Design Language
All of these scooters carry a very distinctive and menacing design language which surely makes them stand out. Most of the underpinnings are kept visible, and have been designed in a way that they look quite appealing. The higher models like the Dragster 459 and Dragster 700 also use premium hardware like Pirelli tyres, Akrapovic exhausts, Marzocchi suspension and Brembo brake calipers.
Italjet Dragster 300: Smallest Of The Trio
The Dragster 300 is the most accessible offering in the line-up. It gets a 278 cc, liquid-cooled engine that develops 23.8 PS and 26 Nm, with power peaking at 8,250 rpm and torque arriving at 6,250 rpm. Its suspension setup is quite unusual, featuring a single-arm front arrangement with a hydropneumatic shock absorber and adjustable spring. A link-type monoshock takes care of the rear. The scooter gets Brembo brakes with a 240 mm front and 175 mm rear disc, along with dual-channel ABS. It also has an 11-litre fuel tank and a 770 mm seat height.
Italjet Dragster 459: Twin-Cylinder Power
The middle model uses a larger 449 cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine producing 47.58 PS and 41 Nm. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets a fully adjustable Marzocchi inverted fork, along with a rear monoshock. It rides on 15-inch wheels with Pirelli tyres and uses Brembo dual front discs and a rear disc. Traction control and dual-channel ABS are included as standard.
Italjet Dragster 700: Range-Topping Performance
The most powerful scooter in the range is equipped with a 698 cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine delivering 70 PS and 70 Nm. It gets a 6-speed gearbox and an exposed tubular steel trellis frame. Its suspension, wheels and braking hardware are shared with the Dragster 459.
India Assembly And Deliveries
All three models feature LED lighting and TFT instrument consoles. Heated grips and an anti-theft system will be available as optional extras. The brand will make its official India debut at India Bike Week on December 4, 2026, with the three scooters arriving in a phased manner. Motohaus will assemble the scooters at its Kolhapur facility, and each model will come with a 24-month manufacturer warranty. Deliveries are likely to commence by mid 2027. Italjet is yet to announce India-specific specifications, prices and detailed availability.
