Finally, Vespa LX and Vespa S receive electronics injection system. This is a great news. Even though, it’s only on the 125 and 150 cc versions of the Vespa XL and S models. This means fuel economy, clear running engine, better power delivery, and enhanced performance. Vespa reconfirms the technological supremacy on the new twin valve, air-cooled motors. They are now more powerful, with increased torque at lower engine speeds.

At the rear, the Vespa S boasts a suspension layout with a dual action hydraulic mono shock. The 11” front wheel ensures excellent stability and gives the rider a feeling of confidence and safety.
