Harley-Davidson has entered the affordable segment by launching X350 in China at roughly Rs 3.9 lakh. The iconic American two-wheeler manufacturer has a tie-up with QJ Motor, the owners of Benelli, and will use the powertrain of the QJ SRK 350. In India, Harley-Davidson has a joint venture with Hero MotoCorp, therefore, the X350 will be co-developed.
Harley-Davidson X350: What is it?
The Harley-Davidson X350 is based on the cast aluminium frame of the SRK 350. It retains the same twin petal disc brakes in the front and a single disc at the rear. The new retro Harley-Davidson motorcycle is equipped with the QJ 350’s 41mm upside-down front forks and rear mono shock. Both suspension systems are adjustable.
