Design of Vespa SXL 125

The Vespa SXL 125’s design is inspired by its hometown Italy. So, it incorporates the retro and simplistic style in a modern way.

The scooter gets a monocoque chassis with 372 precision robotic welds to provide the best structural integrity and resilience.

The Vespa SXL 125 is available in multiple bright and attractive colours; the chrome finish gives shine and glistens to it. Additionally, the steel tube around the front framework works as a supporting structure and enhances the scooter’s aesthetic.

The front forms a nice curve that neatly joins the scooter’s lower end, almost forming a circle. The seat is wide and stitched with a leather strip down the middle to add to its visual. You can also easily accommodate a pillion, and a silver grab rail is at the rear section.

Enough legroom space works for a comfortable ride, and the rectangular headlight and rearview mirror make the front head appear rectangular.

The bugling curve around the wheel intensifies and emphasises the shape of the Vespa SXL 125.
