  • DSK Benelli announces launch of a new bike called TNT 25 by Diwali

    After Hyosung and Benelli, DSK’s love affair with Chinese owned motorcycle brands continues as they are about to launch Keeway bikes in India. Their first product under this name will be a cruiser called the Blackster. It will be powered by a 250cc, single cylinder engine while another motorcycle accompanying the Keeway cruiser could be a quarter liter, single cylinder street bike which could possibly be called the TNT 250. Apparently, both Benelli and Keeway are under the ownership of China based Qianjiang Group, although the brands on their own are registered in Europe.

    DSK-Hyosung/Benelli's official comment on this report,


    We contacted the DSK-Hyosung/Benelli Group for their comment on this report, and here's what they have to say,
    Keeway is a European Brand and a sister brand of Benelli. Keeway is mainly into the lower capacity engine displacement motorcycles from 100cc to 250cc. Keeway has a range of motorcycles which could be appropriate for Indian bikers, and may come to India under the Benelli brand.

      Topics Approved & merged.

      Guys, Keeway is under the same Qianjaing Group that Benelli is...
      So, in short you can say, the parties are the same, but the relation has been deepened further.

            Hyosung is doing fairly well in Tier 2 cities sales wise IMO. The dealership in Lucknow sells around 3-4 bikes every week.

                I think with Garware initiallly, Hyosung struggled a little bit expansion wise. With DSK motorwheels, things are looking really promising.

                  It surely looks cheap even other models,one particular model TX125 reminded me instantly of the Aprillia Dorsoduro

                        How is this news? Bennelli BN302 is keeway rs302 I think. We already know about this.

                          You would also have to give up on all the 600cc inline-4s from Benelli which are Keeway built
                          I guess they read my rant on their renaming mantra to break into our market and decided to enter with their actual products as a seperate entity, so they can create an image that says Keeway has nothing to do with the Benelli 600s

                          They're differentiating themselves from Benelli by bringing in their 50-600cc products or maybe 50-300cc products as a seperate entity at lower prices so they can grab a bigger share of the pie in India.
                          For example, the Keeway RK6 and the Benelli 600s are in essential the same bikes. There are about 3-4 bikes now sharing the same engine/chassis as BN/TNT/RK6 or whatever they are calling it. Now they can price these 4 bikes with a step pricing of say 20k which would maybe say put Keeway 600 at 4.0, then Benellis take up the price bracket from 4.2, 4.6 and 5. That way you have a bike sitting in different price brackets and regardless of which bike people buy, you are taking home the profits. You as in Qianjiang group.

                          Ofcourse the above price range is purely speculative from my side but i think this is what they intend to do.
                          They already have the media buzzing over Benelli's entry and that takes care of the premium segment, now with Keeway which is their actual company they will target the volume sales.

                            Yeah that I know. I was only commenting on the title which seems to present the Keeway bikes as something totally new and previously unseen. I mean we already know that keeway and bennelli are one in the same.

                              How is the build quality of the Chinese bike as I am looking to upgrade from my d390. Something that has around 70 bhp with abs?
