Design and Engineering for Indian Roads
Engineered specifically to withstand rough conditions, the Konarc features a robust steel unibody chassis accompanied by metal panels on the rear sides. It rides on a 14-inch front alloy wheel and a 12-inch rear alloy wheel, paired with a long-travel suspension system built to absorb potholes and uneven road surfaces. Performance-wise, the scooter utilizes a sequential gear-drive transmission intended to ensure smooth and near-silent power delivery. Comfort provisions include an expanded seat, a padded pillion grab rail, and an optional "LoungeBack" adjustable backrest accessory.
Smart Tech and Safety Features
The Konarc debuts Ather’s in-house developed Advanced Electronic Braking System (AeBS), which dynamically balances braking force using software and sensors to minimize wheel lock-ups and reduce stopping distances. Other technological additions include "MagicKey", a keyless proximity ignition system that automatically locks the vehicle when the rider walks away. The scooter also supports dual-charger configurations, allowing users to combine the onboard system with an optional 450W portable charger for faster home replenishment.
