Overdrive magazine’s expert team has finished the long term test for the Kinetic Blaze. The team tested the Blaze extensively over a period of 17 months (Feb 2007- June 2008) and 8384 kms.
Some highlights from the wrap-up (overall) report:
The reviewer says:
· “ Kinetic Blaze is one of my personal favorites from the OD Garage”
· “I found this Italiano to be charismatic & beckoning me to take charge & whack the throttle open”
· “the huge, comfortable step seat never made me twitch in discomfort. And never did I feel tired even after riding her all day around town”
· “At times I would love to teach a lesson to wannabe racers at traffic lights and cant stop smiling as I ‘blaze” past
· “she hits the ton religiously, making a speedo indicated top end of 110 kmph. Phew!”
· “The well laid out instrument console too is a boon with the fuel gauge and telltale lights besides the tacho and digital clock making for a quick time check while rushing to office”
· “The fat rubber at both ends has been more than reassuring throughout, helping take corners with confidence. Same with the disk brake up front which helps greately in emergencies.”
· “The decent underseat storage made a good place for my girlfriend to keep stuff whenever we went shopping”
· “The cushy rear seat makes the pillion feel at home”
· “Now that the Blaze is going, I am really going to miss all the fun I had. Those late night rides back home, the early morning rush zipping through traffic and lots more. Really.”

Kinetic Blaze wins the Satpura Mountain Vara Rally!
Amazing news has just come in from Nagpur:
"KINETIC BLAZE, its not just the name that is powerful but justifies it. I, ROHIT NAIK and my navigator HARSHAD KULKARNI recently participated in THE SATPURA MOUNTAIN VARA RALLY, The Ultimate off-road challenge with the blaze and we are astonished to see the result. You wont believe that we have been placed in the first position in the 2- wheeler category competing many of the renowned names in the Indian motorcycle market. We were flagged off from Nagpur in our Leg1 and were supposed to cover a distance of 350km to Pachmarhi, Madhya Pradesh. The track was 90% off road wid ghats covered in boulders and cobble. The vehicle crossed the off roads without any problem of slipping and skidding and gave a mileage of about 32kmpl in such a rough terrain.
In the Leg 2 of the race, we went through one of the toughest off road tracks of Central India going through dense forests, some breath taking parts of the famous Patalkot. We did river crossings, 45 degree steep inclined hill climbs etc. The vehicles performance was so good that it didnt breakdown even once and managed to cover all parts with ease. The 165cc engine delivered the performance to the fullest. the dual headlamps were so appropriate n useful that we didnt have any problem during night track. The seating of the vehicle is so comfortable that we didnt have any problem throught the rally regarding back ache and all. the vehicle has the widest tyres in its class and those helped a lot in manuovering over rubble. the storage compartment under the seat is so appropriately given that we even cvarried a spare tyre tube and a foot pump in it.
I say there is no other scooter in India as of now which can give you so much satisfaction and appreciation of your money than KINETIC BLAZE."
