Light, Agile, and Full of Character

The Bantam 350 is all about lightness and agility—think of it as the featherweight champion of city commuting. With a punchy 334cc engine that delivers a smile-inducing 28.7bhp and a respectable 21.8ft-lb of torque, it’s like a little dynamo on two wheels. Its delightful handling makes it the perfect companion for zipping through tight urban spaces or cruising down those twisty country lanes.

Comfort Meets Retro Charm

With an upright riding position, a comfy seat, and classic retro aesthetics, riding the Bantam is a comfortable affair. Sure, the suspension setting is basic but functional, sporting non-adjustable forks and twin rear shocks to keep things steady without sacrificing fun. Its overall design and build quality are surprisingly commendable for a budget bike—and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a gorgeous-looking ride?
