DSR Motowheels partnered with Hyosung Corporation an Industrial Conglomerate from Korea operates in multitudinous fields including Chemical industry, Information technology, Industrial mahcinery, trade and construction has planned to boost it’s velocity of new launches and powering up with quick network extension for it’s reach and dealership in the country ie. India.

Hyosung Corporation is most commonly known for it’s high end apartments, automatic teller machines and yes the premium bikes. Earlier, with the launch of GT250R sportsbike in India, the alliance wants to move into the high volume commuter motorcycle segment of the Indian market. Some of the Company officials stated,” Our company is aiming to get the big piece of pie in commuter market segment. For this, the company has decided to work on a 150cc bike that will be developed according to Indian commuter needs. It will not be a high-end bike like R15 from Yamaha, rather it will be a simple commuter bike”. From the Sources, we came to know that DSK MotoWheels and Hyosung has currently developed a 150cc commuter motorcycle, since 150CC has now became a premium sportsbike segment in the Indian market.

At a event in Mumbai,”Shirish Kulkarni”, head of DSK Motowheels confirmed that Hyosung will be launching a 150cc commuter motorcycle in 2014, designs of which are currently being worked upon. He also said that with this bike, the DSK Motowheels-Hyosung alliance will be stepping into the volume segment. Ahead of its launch, a new plant will be set up near Satara in Maharashtra and is expected to go live by August-September next year by which time the GT250R will have achieved a localization of 20 per cent. With this, prices for the GT250R will go down by about Rs 30,000-40,000. Kulkarni said that the GT250R’s tyres, battery and paint are very expensive components and once they start procuring the same locally, prices are expected to reduce further.

Adding to it, as part of it’s expansion plans he also stated,” that currently there are five new showrooms being opened across India by the end of this year, followed by four more in January. All these showrooms will have service centres attached to them. The first motorcycle to be launched in 2013 will be the GV 650 Aquila Pro cruiser in January followed by a new 250cc cruiser in March. He also mentioned bringing in the revised GT650R though no timelines were given about the same”.

Few years later, Hyosung GF 125 and GF 170 were boosts with such amount of power engines which seems much higher than any comparable competition coming from the Japanese motorcycle giants. So, it will be good to expect such similar boosts up bike’s in India when the Indo-Korean motorcycle alliance launches its brand new 150cc commuter motorcycle.
