KARACHI (Kashmir English): Super Star Motorcycle has launched a new 150cc motorcycle called Thunder SS150-H amidst increasing competition in this category.
The new motorcycle has a retro design unlike the aggressive design of many motorcycles in the same category. The Thunder SS150-H is powered by a 150cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC engine with a four-speed gearbox. Other specifications include self-starting and kick-starting options as well as a CDI ignition system.
The motorcycle sits on a backbone chassis and comes equipped with alloy wheels. Fuel tank capacity for the motorcycle is 13 liters, which includes one liter for reserve. Dimensions of the motorcycle include 1,897mm in length, 751mm in width, and 1,014mm in height, with a wheelbase of 1,200mm.
Atlas Honda to launch two new bike models
Atlas Honda set to tap the premium motorcycle segment in Pakistan. Atlas Honda revealed plans to potentially introduce 250cc and 500cc motorcycles to the Pakistani market as it assesses the growing demand for higher-displacement bikes.
The announcement was made by Atlas Honda management at the MY26 corporate briefing held with Topline Securities. The rising popularity of premium motorcycles, fueled in part by growing remittances and improved consumer purchasing power, has prompted the company to investigate the possibility of expanding its offerings beyond its well-known commuter models.
The launch of 250cc and 500cc motorcycles would be one of Atlas Honda’s largest product line expansions in decades and would enable the company to compete in the premium segment, which is currently dominated by imported and locally assembled premium motorcycles.
Premium Motorcycles Segment on the Rise:
The motorcycle industry in Pakistan has long been dominated by 70cc and 125cc bikes, but the last few years have witnessed an increase in demand for bikes with engine capacities greater than 150cc as hobbyists and buyers with higher income levels search for more power.
According to Atlas Honda, this trend is expected to continue and offers an opportunity for the company to offer a locally produced or assembled version of the 250cc and 500cc bikes at an affordable price, thereby making the concept of premium bikes more achievable.
The company, however, has not announced a launch timeline or provided information on the Honda global models it might introduce in Pakistan.
