The second-generation Typhoon 50 swapped the old two-stroke for an air-cooled four-stroke, four-valve engine and moved to larger 14-inch alloy wheels. Styling is sharper, with integrated front indicators and blacked-out details, aimed at small rugged sporty scooters like the Yamaha Zuma. A reviewer found the dash cheaper-looking and called the claimed economy optimistic.
