New 2021 Italjet Dragster

The unique Center Hub Steering separates the steering, braking, and suspension function, providing unique stability. It filters any kind of roughness, without transmitting vibrations to the handlebar. The original Dragster featured this unique setup and the only other 2-wheeled vehicle fitted with this system is the Bimota Tesi 3D.

True to Leopoldo Tartarini’s origin with Ducati, the Dragster features a molybdenum-chrome frame reinforced with die cast aluminum plates. A trellis frame provides a strong, lightweight structure that simplifies placement of engine and components, and gives good access for maintenance. But most importantly, it connects the steering head to the swingarm pivot as directly as possible and provides a unique rigidity due to its interwoven structure.

A liquid-cooled Euro 5-designed engine with an output of almost 20hp combined with an overall dry weight of 112kg delivers the best power-to-weight ratio in any production scooter available. The Italian-designed four-valve engine builds one unit with the swingarm that is suspended with a Paioli monoshock absorber for optimal drivability. The wide 150mm rear tyre provides ultimate grip on the road and ensures an optimal transmission of the high power output from the engine to the road.

LED lights are now universal in most new vehicles. However, the Dragster goes a step further with its animated front and rear LED light systems: You’d have to see it in real life when the vehicle is turned on. Just the lighting alone emits attitude that there is a serious racer and contender springing into life ready to ride.
