Pune-based DSK Motowheels in partnership with Italian bike brand Benelli has launched five superbikes in the country, priced between ₹ 2.83 lakh to ₹ 11.81 lakh (ex Showroom Delhi).

It is hoping to sell 3,000 superbikes in the first year and planning to bring more models in the market by year-end, said DSK Motowheels Chairman Shirish Kulkarni.
