The 450X now gets Magic Twist and Traction control, as well as increased range.
Magic Twist has two levels – Low and High – while traction control has three – Rain, Road and Rally – and both can be turned off entirely as well.
For the 2.9kWh 450X variant, Ather claims that TrueRange has gone up from 85km to 105km, and that of the 3.7kWh variant has seen an even larger increment, from 105km to 130km.
Some of the range increase is also attributed to the new MRF Zapper N e-tred tyres, codeveloped by MRF and Ather.
The one additional gripe I have with the updated 450X is that locking up the rear wheel has become all too easy, with Magic Twist working hand-in-glove with the sharp rear disc.
With its updated pricing, the 450X retains its premium position in the market, and if you’re browsing for a fun scooter, this is still one of the most entertaining ones available.
