It’s the top-of-the-line scooter for India

Featuring a 698cc liquid-cooled twin-cylinder engine that makes 70hp and 70Nm of torque, a 6-speed gearbox and an exposed tubular steel trellis frame, the Dragster 700 is the brand’s top-of-the-line scooter for India. This scooter shares the cycle parts with the Dragster 459, meaning it uses the fully adjustable USD front fork and monoshock from Marzocchi. It rides on 15-inch wheels with 120-section front and 160-section rear tyres from Pirelli. Braking duties are handled by Brembo’s 270mm dual front discs and a 260mm rear disc. Along with the dual-channel ABS, traction control is also standard.

All three models come standard with full LED lighting and a TFT instrument cluster. Customers can add optional features such as heated grips and an anti-theft system. A 24-month manufacturer warranty is standard, though information on extended warranty plans is currently unavailable.

Italjet has scheduled its India debut for India Bike Week (IBW), which will be held on December 4-5, 2026. As part of its India product roadmap, the Italjet Dragster 300, Dragster 459 and Dragster 700 will be introduced. The models will be assembled at Motohaus India’s manufacturing facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. Deliveries are expected to commence in the second quarter of 2027, and further details regarding the India-model specifications, pricing and availability will be announced at a later stage.
