Street, Italjet Roadster: the vintage scooter that hides a technical beast, ready to humiliate motorcycles in 2026!

After shaking things up with the Italjet Dragster, the Italian brand is back at it again, but this time in an unexpected direction. Italjet unveils the Roadster, boasting a delightfully retro, almost aristocratic look, while simultaneously injecting a wealth of technical solutions worthy of an engineering laboratory. A scooter that embraces its roots… while mechanically outshining the competition.

Beneath its carefully drawn vintage lines, the Roadster It conceals a philosophy that runs counter to the current industry. Here, plastic is reduced to the bare minimum. The bodywork favors steel and aluminum, not only for robustness, but also to assert an exclusive, almost handcrafted character.

The front and rear suspensions are based on aluminum structures, enhancing rigidity and precision. Every part seems to have been designed to last, and to be seen.

Italjet He also indulged in a few stylistic pleasures. The side air intakesInspired by aircraft turbines, they clearly evoke the aeronautical world. At the rear, the visual signature is even more pronounced: an exposed aluminum structure connects the fully adjustable rear shock absorber to the wheel.

The double exhaust, developed with AkrapovichIt doesn't just sound good. It displays grids evoking intake trumpets Racing motorcycles from 60 years ago. A deliberate, almost provocative, historical nod.

Beneath this retro exterior beats a thoroughly modern heart: a 394cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. The figures speak for themselves: 41,5 hp at 7,500 rpm, 41,2 Nm at 6,000 rpm, for a dry weight of just 151 kg.

Needless to say, the accelerations promise to be brutal, a far cry from the tame image often associated with scooters.

DLAS: The real Italjet revolution is ahead

The true centerpiece of the RoadsterThe key feature that radically distinguishes it from anything else on the road today is located at the front: the DLAS (Dynamic Linkage Articulated Steering), a suspension system patented by Italjet.

Derived and perfected from the single-sided swingarm of the DragsterThe DLAS uses a two-element scissor mechanism. The lower element integrates the wheel axle and the fixed brake caliper bracket. The steering is decoupled from the damping, a major technical choice.

The result? More precise steering, a significant reduction in wheelie under braking, and a level of stability unknown to traditional forks.

Even better, the system is adjustable: the rider can choose between a rigid and sporty configuration or a more comfortable response, depending on the use.

The picture is completed with aluminum spoked wheels, dual front disc brakes with radial calipers, and a tubular trellis frame to which the aluminum joints connected to the shock absorbers are attached. Nothing is decorative. Everything is functional. And visible.

Le Roadster It doesn't try to please everyone. It clearly targets those who are fed up with bland, standardized, sterile scooters.

The commercial launch is announced for September 2026with an indicative price of €7,500. A price that places it off the beaten track, but perfectly consistent with its philosophy.

Le Roadster It's not just a vintage scooter. It's a statement of intent. Proof that you can look to the past… without ever giving up on… the performance.
