Vespa VXL 125 Full Specifications

The Vespa VXL 125 is built around a 124.45cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 3-valve SOHC engine with Piaggio's fuel injection system. It produces 9.77 PS at 7,400 rpm and 10.11 Nm of torque at 5,600 rpm - figures that are competitive with the TVS Ntorq 125 (9.37 PS) and comfortably ahead of the Honda Activa 125 (8.3 PS). The transmission is a CVT automatic, meaning no clutch, no gears - pure twist-and-go.

The monocoque steel body is what makes the VXL 125 structurally different from every plastic-bodied rival. It is heavier but far more rigid - owners consistently note that the scooter feels planted and solid at 80+ km/h on highways, where lighter rivals can feel skittish.

On paper, the Vespa VXL 125 specs are competitive but not class-leading. The TVS Ntorq 125 Race XConnect variant adds Bluetooth connectivity and a larger 5.8-litre tank, and the Honda Activa 125 returns better ARAI mileage (47 kmpl). Where the VXL 125 wins is everything the spec sheet cannot capture: the structural feel of that steel chassis, the exhaust note, and the design heritage. The 2-year / 24,000 km warranty is standard for the segment. Service intervals are typically every 3,000 km or 3 months, whichever comes first.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the engine displacement of the Vespa VXL 125?
The Vespa VXL 125 is powered by a 124.45cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 3-valve SOHC engine with Piaggio fuel injection. It produces 9.77 PS at 7,400 rpm and 10.11 Nm of torque at 5,600 rpm, paired with a CVT automatic transmission.
QWhat is the fuel efficiency of the Vespa VXL 125?
The ARAI-certified mileage of the Vespa VXL 125 is 45 kmpl. Real-world efficiency reported by owners is 38-42 kmpl in city conditions and 42-47 kmpl on open highways. The 7.4-litre fuel tank gives a usable range of approximately 300-330 km per fill.
QWhat are the kerb weight and dimensions of the Vespa VXL 125?
The Vespa VXL 125 weighs 115 kg kerb and measures 1,770 mm in length, 690 mm wide, and 1,140 mm tall, with a 1,290 mm wheelbase and 155 mm ground clearance. The seat height is 770 mm, which is accessible for most adult riders.
QDoes the Vespa VXL 125 have ABS?
No, the Vespa VXL 125 does not offer ABS on any variant. The CBS (Combined Braking System) variant links both brakes for more balanced deceleration, but there is no anti-lock mechanism. The front brake is a 200mm ventilated disc; the rear is a 140mm drum.
QWhat suspension setup does the Vespa VXL 125 use?
The Vespa VXL 125 uses a single-side arm suspension at the front - a Vespa design signature that allows the distinctive one-sided wheel mounting - and a hydraulic monoshock at the rear. The setup delivers a composed ride on smooth tarmac but is firmer than mass-market rivals on broken roads.
