Ather 450X

As expected, the unchanged body and shape mean there is no change to the dimensions of the new Ather 450X Gen 3. However, the Ather 450 is known for its nimble design and sleek ergonomics since starting. The same remains persistent in the current new model. The overall dimensions of the Ather 450 have been designed by keeping in mind the Indian city traffic conditions and everyday parking struggles. The customers who already own the Ather are happy with its nimble and easy-to-handle size. Additionally, it does not come with any unnecessary wide-body panels as seen on some of its rivals. This results in an easy ride inside the cityscape. 

The main change on the new Ather 450X Gen 3 is undoubtedly its powertrain. Ather was missing on a longer riding range since its launch. Meanwhile, the competition has started to offer better performance with almost double the riding range. Hence, catering to this problem the Gen 3 now comes with a bigger 3.7 kWh battery pack. Additionally, the firmware is new along with a new permanent magnet AC motor that now delivers more power and torque. It now generates a peak power of 6200V and a top speed of up to 80 kmph. Meanwhile, the main jump is in the initial performance or pickup from the standstill. The Ather 450X can do 0-60 kmph in 6.94 seconds which makes up for a quick city riding experience. Meanwhile, it now comes with a claimed riding range of up to 146 km per charge. However, the rear riding range differs according to road conditions and traffic density. Ather claims that it takes about 5 hours and 45 minutes to completely charge a drained battery via a fast charger.

The tyres on the new Ather 450X are the same as seen on the previous model. This means that the same 12-inch setup is followed on the new model as well. The larger 12-inch tyres help in providing very confidence-inspiring handling with the Ather 450X. In addition, to control this performance, a single petal disc brake is provided at the front and a single petal disc brake has been provided at the rear also. The combination of these petal disc brakes makes up for strong braking performance. The Ather 450X can stop easily and drop speeds within seconds; all thanks to the braking system. Additionally, the features of the new Ather 450X are amazing as well. It comes with an IP65-rated 5-inch infotainment system. This system also equips Android OS with a fast Snapdragon 212 processor. Additionally, it has 4 riding modes – Eco, Ride, Sport, & Warp. Ather 450X also offers 4G connectivity along with Google Maps.
