JAKARTA - The legendary name from England, Phelon & Moore, is back on the motorcycle industry. This time, their revival is marked by the presence of an adventurous-style scooter called Panthette X.
If you take a quick look, the model reminds you of the modern ADV scooter, but wrapped in a more exclusive European touch. Panthette X doesn't just play in the realm of appearance.
This scooter is designed with an adventure lifestyle approach, combining a tough character for daily use with a thick premium taste. One of its main highlights is the use of an upside down front suspension, a feature that is still rarely found in the adventure scooter segment.
For historical notes, Phelon & Moore is not a new name. This brand has existed since 1904 and has been widely known through the Panther car line. Launching from Greatbikers, Thursday, January 8, its old identity was revived with a focus on vehicles with strong character, rich design details, and a premium spirit.
The philosophy is clearly reflected in the Panthette X which is positioned not only as a means of transportation, but also as part of a lifestyle. Visually, the Panthette X comes with a single round-shaped headlight carrying a modern retro style, while the adventurous feel is emphasized by semi-offroad tires.
Then tubeless rim, bull bar model engine protector, and wide handlebars complete with hand guard. The combination of all of them gives the impression of being ready to be taken to various road conditions.
Interestingly, the Panthette X is offered in three engine capacity options, 125 cc, 250 cc, and 300 cc. All of them carry a single-cylinder, four-valve, liquid-cooled configuration, and have met the Euro 5+ emission standards.
For the highest version of 300 cc, the claimed power reaches 17.5 hp with a torque of 25 Nm, while the 250 cc variant is in the range of 16.5 hp. In terms of features, this scooter plays in the upper class.
The 7-inch TFT screen, smartphone connectivity, ABS system, heated handle, adjustable visor, to hand guard are standard equipment. All these luxurious features make the Panthette X priced starting at 5,490 pounds or around Rp123.8 million in the UK, while the Honda ADV 160 alone ranges from Rp37 million to Rp41 million in Indonesia.
With such a high price, the Panthette X is clearly targeting certain consumers, those who want a unique design, British-labeled, and feature-rich adventure scooter. However, to fight directly with adventure scooters from Japanese manufacturers, the Panthette X price has the potential to be a barrier in itself.
