The newly unveiled Italjet Dragster 459 Twin 2026 firmly positions the brand's iconic model closer to motorcycle performance, offering an aggressive option for A2 license holders. This radical machine is powered by a 449cc liquid-cooled parallel twin engine, delivering a potent 46.9 horsepower. The defining feature is the innovative SmartShift (Intelligent Automatic Transmission) system, a mechanically-based automatic gearbox with electronic clutch and shifting actuators. This allows riders to choose between a smooth, full automatic mode or take control with handlebar-mounted paddle shifters, blending the convenience of a scooter with the engagement of a manual motorcycle. Built on the same high-performance platform as its larger 700 Twin sibling, it features a distinctive exposed steel trellis frame, adjustable Marzocchi suspension components, Brembo brakes, and the MotoGP-inspired ISAS (Italjet Stiffness Adjustment System) for fine-tuning rear suspension rigidity.
