Vespa to launch VX with addition of disc brakes
Bike Advice, 14 Jun '13

Vespa is planning to launch a slightly refreshed version of their current LX125 scooter. Vespa VX showcased to a few prominent auto media houses in India. The biggest addition is the inclusion of disc brakes upfront.

Vespa VX Changes & Features :

New Speedometer

Longer Pillion Grab Rail

MRF Zapper Tyres

Two New Colour Options - Bright Pink & Turquoise Green

200mm front disc brakes

Optional Beige colour seats

Apart from the other cosmetic changes, introduction of the disc brakes on Vespa was a much needed move. Disc brakes along with better Zapper tyres are definitely expected to lend the scooter much better poise and stability on the road. The company has also stopped the Black and maroon colour options from the list citing 'not-much-interest' as the reason.

Media reports that Vespa VX might completely replace the LX125 if there is a major transition in sales (to VX). For now, Vespa LX remains as it is and continues to be on sale. This new Vespa VX comes equipped with the same 125cc 10PS engine with variomatic transmission.

Prices have been withheld for now and 20th of June is the reported date when Vespa will officially launch this VX along with the announcement of its price. It is, obviously, expected to get a slight premium over the regular LX.
