Highlights of Vespa ZX 125

Design of Vespa ZX 125

The Vespa ZX 125 has an eye-catching retro-modern design with a curvy tone—a blend of traditional and contemporary looks. The scooter is very much practical with its overall console. The pastel colour finish makes the scooter more mature and compact. The ‘Piaggio logo below the headlamp makes it look more classy and adds to the charm of the company.

The chrome-finished side mirror, full steel body, silver grab rail and circular headlight deliver a nostalgic appeal. The Vespa ZX 125 is lightweight and delivers a slim and compact profile.

The contrasting colour scheme with its primary colour balances its overall getup. The floorboard space gives ample legroom space, but the big bump in the centre of the leg space hinders keeping the belongings. Furthermore, the scooter’s design is ready with female and male both riders.

Also, the ZX 125 includes a narrow but comfortable handlebar that provides a perfect riding stance and reduces fatigue. The angular black tires convey the perfect contrast to the scooter.

Colour and Variant of Vespa ZX 125

The Vespa ZX 125 is available in seven different colours:

Yellow
Pearl White
Matte Black
Grey
Glossy Red
Azure Blue

The Vespa ZX 125 offers only one variant:

Engine of Vespa ZX 125

The Vespa ZX 125 gets a 124.45 cc, single cylinder, 4-stroke, air-cooled, SOHC, 3-valve fuel injection BS-VI engine along with a 52 mm bore and 58.6 mm stroke.

The engine can generate a peak power of 9.78 bhp at 7500 rpm and a top torque of 9.60 Nm at 5500 rpm; the scooter proves a decent powerplant for daily uses.

Features of Vespa ZX 125

The 115 kg Vespa ZX 125 offers both a kick and an electric starter. Furthermore, the scooter with a 770 mm seat suits every rider as it provides a comfortable halting position.

With a 7.4-litre fuel tank, the Vespa ZX 125 performs well even in the long run. Alongside this, the basic but premium digital console with a clock supports the advancement of the scooter.

The under-seat storage is significantly less, which cannot accommodate a helmet. The Engine Control warning lights turn on while the ignition gets off as the engine starts.

The clear lens headlamp with a halogen bulb is adequate. Though the lightings are appropriate, they are not LEDs.

Other features of the Vespa ZX 125 are clear lens indicators, Kickstarter with a glossy finish, night light reflectors (below the pillion footrest), and front storage space.

Transmission, Suspension, and Brakes of Vespa ZX 125

Vespa ZX 125 is backed by continuously variable transmission (CVT), an automatic transmission that can change through a continuous range of gear ratios. CVTs are popular for their more fuel-efficient characteristics than regular automatics.

The Vespa ZX 125 offers a smooth ride through an aircraft-derived hydraulic single-side arm front suspension with anti-dive characteristics. At the rear, it gets a four-position adjustable dual-effect hydraulic shock absorber.

When it comes to a halt, the scooter is controllable via the CBS braking system, providing the rider with safety and confidence. At the front, the braking is handled by a 200 mm disc brake with hydraulic control and a caliper. However, it’s anchored at the rear through 140 mm drum brakes.
