Speedfight 3

Speedfight 3 range: The NEW reference sports scooter

Fourteen years after it first appeared and 10 years after its last major restyle, the third generation of the Peugeot Speedfight scooter will arrive in the UK during summer 2009. Sports scooters account for nearly one in five sales to European riders in this sector and over half a million Speedfights have been manufactured and sold to date, so the designers at Peugeot have paid attention to retaining the sporting lines and distinctive appearance of the first Speedfight, while up-rating the functionality of the all-new Speedfight 3.

Central to the new design is the revised chassis, with the fuel tank relocated to a central position under the floor pan, which significantly lowers the centre of gravity. Combined with 32mm hydraulic forks (replacing the single arm on previous models) and larger 13” wheels, this gives class-leading handling. Braking gets the latest technology too – for the first time Peugeot have fitted a dual piston radial calliper, which works with the 215mm Shuricane front disc brake for powerful and controllable stopping power. The relocated fuel tank is expanded to hold 8.5 litres (2 gallons), so the Speedfight 3 has a potential range of up to 150 miles. Under the seat is a substantial storage bay and there is even a dual function 12V socket so that mobile phones can be charged on the move.

Peugeot has unveiled a special edition version of the third generation Speedfight 3 in the company’s striking black RS colour scheme. Featuring a free-revving liquid-cooled two-stroke engine, plus radial Shuricane front disc brake, the Speedfight 3 RS is a top-of-the-range scooter with the performance to match its looks.

Handling is assured thanks to the re-designed chassis, 32mm hydraulic front forks, gas-filled rear shock-absorber and 13-inch front wheel. In addition the its wavy 215mm front brake disc the Speedfight 3 RS has a 196mm rear disc for powerful and controllable braking.

Practicality has also been taken care of with a potential range of up to 150 miles from the enlarged 8.5-litre fuel tank, substantial under seat storage area and dual function 12V socket for charging mobiles, MP3s, etc.

Black 10-spoke alloy wheels, complete with polished rims, complement the black livery, which is contrasted by red graphics, matching brake calipers and rear shock absorber. However, the icing on the cake for many riders will be the optional sound system. Amongst the large range of genuine Peugeot Accessories is a Mega Watt MP3 connection kit - including sub woofer, amp, control unit, speakers and full fitting kit – which fits into the under seat bay to provide music on the move.
