Piaggio India has launched the Vespa VXL 125 BS6 in India. The
new scooter is available in a wide range of colour options and has been priced
at INR 1,10,345*. The new Vespa VXL 125 BS6 is quite identical to the Vespa SXL
125 BS6. Both the scooters share several parts and components including the
125cc engine. It is a BS6-compliant mill which features 3 catalytic converters.
The single-cylinder powerplant comes with 3 valves, aluminium cylinder head,
overhead cam and roller rocker arm along with variable spark timing management.
Piaggio India has tuned the engine to churn out 9.9 PS of maximum
power at 7,500 rpm and 9.6 Nm of peak torque at 5,500rpm.
In terms of aesthetics, the Vespa VXL 125
BS6 comes equipped with a round LED headlamp and classic chrome rearview
mirrors. The front apron incorporates a unique V-grille and side turn
indicators. The semi-digital instrument cluster offers a good amount of information
which is easily legible. The robust 5-spoke alloy wheels add to the overall
look of the scooter. The seat not only provides a comfortable riding experience
for both the rider and pillion but also act as an aesthetic element.
Just like the SXL 125 BS6, the suspension
set up of the new VXL 125 BS6 has aircraft-derived single sidearm front
suspension with anti-dive characteristics and dual-effect hydraulic shock
absorber at the rear. A 200mm front ventilated disc and 140mm drum at the rear
along with CBS handle the braking on the scooter. The Vespa VXL 125 BS6 has 7
colour options - Matte Black, Yellow, Vibrant Red, Azzuro Provenza, Vibrant
Pink, White, and Maze Grey.
