Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2015 Keeway Ajax 150, a spirited sport motorcycle that harmoniously blends style, agility, and accessibility. As a product of Keeway, the American and European brand name of Qianjiang from China, the Ajax 150 is designed for both novice riders seeking their first taste of motorcycling and seasoned enthusiasts looking for a nimble companion that thrives in urban environments. With its sleek lines and sporty aesthetic, this bike captures attention while serving up a performance that belies its compact stature. At the heart of the Ajax 150 is a robust 149.40 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that produces a commendable 11 horsepower at 8500 RPM, paired with a torque output of 10 Nm at 7500 RPM. This well-balanced powertrain allows the Ajax to reach a top speed of 97 km/h (60.3 mph), making it perfect for zipping through city streets or tackling backroads with confidence. The bike's 5-speed gearbox and wet, multiple-plate clutch provide smooth power delivery, while the air-cooled design ensures reliability during spirited rides. With a compression ratio of 9.2:1 and a lightweight frame weighing just 99 kg (218.3 lbs), the Ajax 150 offers an exhilarating riding experience characterized by sharp handling and responsive throttle. Beyond its performance, the Ajax 150 is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and usability. The bike boasts a telescopic front fork and a swingarm rear suspension, yielding 130 mm and 60 mm of travel respectively, which helps absorb bumps and imperfections in the road. Safety is prioritized with a single disc brake in the front and a reliable drum brake in the rear, providing adequate stopping power for its size. With a fuel capacity of 11.3 liters (2.99 gallons), riders can enjoy longer journeys without frequent stops at the pump. The electric and kick-start options add versatility, ensuring that getting on the road is quick and easy. Available in striking colors like white and blue, the Ajax 150 makes a statement wherever it goes. **
