Pune-based Kinetic India badly needed a mega venture to recreate the magic it effected two decades ago with its innovative gear free Kinetic Honda scooter. It seems to have finally made itself ready for a second revolution.

The company has roped in Taiwan-based scooter giant Sanyang Industry Co (SYM) in a bold move to help achieve this as early as June 2007.

Market talk reveals that though it isn’t clear what the new Indo-Taiwanese model will look like, the new Kinetic SYM scooter is sure to use a four-stroke, single-cylinder 125cc engine. Besides, the new scooter is expected to come loaded with a whole lot of offers and new features and technology. in addition to a healthy list of specifications. The company has however clarified that the new scooters will not use SYM’s ceramic-coated cylinder technology.

For the record, SYM is known for over 25 different scooters including a few motorcycles. The new 125cc scooter is likely to use telescopic forks instead of the inferior leading link-type front suspension, a report said.

The product that will be rolled out of the Kinetic-SYM stable, will be suitably modified to suit Indian conditions and will be the forerunner of several jointly developed models to come. These produced-for-India-in-India scooters will sell through Kinetic’s retail network and crucial to its success will be the ability to maintain SYM quality levels.
