The long-awaited KYMCO DT X360 scooter has arrived in New Zealand, based on the excellent Downtown 350i template which includes the punchy 321cc, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected, four-valve single-cylinder engine.

The DT X360’s major point of reference is based on its ‘adventure’ credentials, which includes 14- and 13-inch aluminium-alloy wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres to take on light off-road terrain as part of the machine’s more wide-ranging remit. Other standout features include traction control, a 12.5-litre fuel tank, 800mm seat height – 25mm higher than the Downtown – wide handlebars, keyless ignition, all-LED lighting and a full-colour LED digital screen and two USB ports. Underseat storage is roomy as well: enough to accommodate at least two helmets.
