Peugeot has unveiled a special edition version of the third generation Speedfight 3 in the company’s striking black RS colour scheme. Featuring a free-revving liquid-cooled two-stroke engine, plus radial Shuricane front disc brake, the Speedfight 3 RS is a top-of-the-range scooter with the performance to match its looks.
Handling is assured thanks to the redesigned chassis, 32mm fork stanchions, gas-filled rear shock and 13-inch front wheel. In addition to the wavy 215mm front brake disc the Speedfight 3 RS has a 196mm rear disc for powerful and controllable braking.
Practicality has also been taken care of with a potential range of up to 150 miles from the enlarged 8.5-litre fuel tank, substantial under seat storage area and dual function 12V socket for charging mobiles and MP3s.
Black 10-spoke alloy wheels, complete with polished rims, complement the livery, which is contrasted by red graphics, matching brake calipers and rear shock absorber.
However, the icing on the cake for many riders will be the optional sound system. Amongst the large range of genuine Peugeot accessories is a Mega Watt MP3 – including sub woofer, amp, control unit, speakers and full fitting kit – which fits into the under-seat bay to provide music on the move. That little lot retails for £287.50. The Peugeot Speedfight 3 RS LC is available from authorised dealers priced £2099.
