Regal Raptor DD 350E 9B is the entry level model that weighs 180 kg and carries a 14 litre fuel tank. To be offered in three colours, black, white and red, the DD 350E 9B will wear price tag of Rs. 2.96 lakhs (ex-showroom).
Regal Raptor Daytona 350 is a chopper-like model with 15 litre fuel tank but weighs the same as the former. Priced at Rs. 3.23 lakhs, the Daytona 350 manages 0-60 kmph sprint in 3.5 seconds and goes all the way up to 130 kmph.
Regal Raptor Bobber is also priced at Rs. 3.23 lakhs and has the same performance specs as Daytona 350. But it weighs only 170 kg with the tiny fuel tank that can hold just 8 litres. The minimalist styling of Bobber would certainly attract eyeballs on road, increasing the chances of selling more than the other two models.
