History and description
[edit]Presented at EICMA 2015,[1] production of the X-Town scooter began in 2016.
The X-Town is a medium-compact range scooter with low wheels available in 125 cm³ and 300 cm³ displacements, both single-cylinder and four-stroke: the 125 delivers 12.9 HP while the 300 has a newly developed 276 cm³ effective engine, 2-valve, liquid-cooled delivering 24.5 HP at 7250 rpm. The engines are both Euro 4 approved. The tubular steel cradle frame has a 37 mm front fork and a single-sided rear suspension with two shock absorbers with adjustable preload. The front wheel is 14" with 120/80 rubber while the rear wheel is 13" with 150/70 tyres. The braking system consists of a 260 mm front disc with two-piston caliper and a 240 mm rear disc with two-piston caliper. ABS is available as standard only for the 300 cm³ version, while it is not available for the 125 which, however, mounts the combined CBS braking system.[2]
Variants and updates
[edit]In summer 2017, the range was updated and two new red colors were introduced: the matt Loveno red and the glossy Malaga red.[3] In 2019, the X-Town CT (called in Italy X-Town City) was added to the range, a version that has a flat platform without a tunnel that guarantees greater comfort, and both 13" wheels. The engine range is the same as the classic X-Town.[4] In 2021 it underwent an important update, with the adaptation of the engines to the Euro 5 standard.[5]
