Piaggio Vespa S Launched At Rs. 75K - Will The New Ride Win Indian Hearts?

Piaggio, the Italian automobile brand, has launched a brand new two-wheeler in India with 'Vespa S'. We believe that the S in name stands for its sporty styling. Oh well, the all-new Vespa S is the third entrant in the Vespa Series for Indian market with the first two being Vespa LX and VX. The newly designed bike sports Piaggio's typical minimalist design and we think that the square headlight and mirrors give it more of a retro look than a sport one. Powered by a 125 cc Engine, the Vespa S features 3 Valve, Aluminium Cylinder Head.The engine delivers a power of 10.06 PS @ 7500 RPM and a Max Torque of 10.6 Nm @ 6000 RPM.

Just like Vespa VX model, this one also features 200 mm ventilated front disc brake and 140 mm rear drum brake diameter as well as tubeless tyres. The two-wheeler sports Link Spring mechanism between engine and frame. There's the stabilizing torque, low speed balance, accurate steering and high speed stability built-in too. In addition to that, there are 3-Spoke, black alloy combination wheels on Vespa S.
