Kymco Skytown 150, Like S 150 enter PH market

MANILA: Kymco Philippines has widened its stable with the introduction of the new Skytown 150 and the Like S 150.

Per the Taiwanese motorcycle marque’s local arm, the two newest scooter models are designed to tap modern urban riders, yuppies and business owners aged early 20s to 40s.

So what can be enjoyed with the two new offerings? Let's all find out.

New Kymco Skytown 150

Serving as the newest nameplate in its pack, the company said that the new Kymco Skytown 150 blends “style, performance, and sustainability, making daily commuting more enjoyable and eco-friendlier.”

Dimension

The new Kymco Skytown 150 measures 1,940 millimeters (mm) long; 750 mm wide; and 1,340 mm tall — with a 1,320-mm wheelbase and 770-mm saddle height.

Its tank can carry up to seven liters of fuel and its 28-liter underseat storage space can fit a full-size helmet while still has room for other belongings.

Aesthetics

Kymco’s newest automatic transmission motorcycle in the country comes with an aggressive look as it wears sharp lines for its fairings.

The contour of the motorcycle complements the shape of its head- and tail lamps that are all on LED — giving it a distinct character even during nighttime.

Meanwhile, its two-way saddle matches the wide passenger footrests that ensure comfort and safety of passengers.

Performance

The new Kymco Skytown 150 is equipped with a 150 cubic centimeter (cc) single overhead cam, four-stroke single-cylinder air-cooled engine that can deliver 11.2 horsepower (hp) and 11.9 Newton-meters of torque.

It also has Kymco’s Green Power system that cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 17 percent and fuel consumption by up to 21 percent.

Assuring halts and deceleration are its disc brakes with anti-brake lock system (ABS) for both front and rear while its suspension system made up of telescopic fork at the front and double shock with swing arm for the rear guarantees stability and maneuverability.

Guaranteeing additional rigidity and controllability to the rider are the motorcycle’s perimeter frame and underslung engine hanger.

In addition, the motorcycle rides on 14-inch alloys for the front wheel and 13-inch at the back.

Amenities/technologies

The new Kymco Skytown 150 offers ample amenities and technologies to customer such as the following:

• Tall and sporty windscreen
• LCD gauge cluster
• Traction control system
• Type A and C charging ports

Colors, pricing

Offered in Pearly Black, Golden Brown, and Pearly White, the new Kymco Skytown 150 is priced at P118,500.
