The modern choice for a younger demographic, trading the classic shine for a stealthier, aggressive matte look at the same price point.

Sturdy steel construction remains the best in its class
Distinctive matte styling with rectangular headlamp and mirrors that stand out in traffic.
Refined 124.45 cc engine with adequate city performance and smooth CVT operation.
Good claimed mileage and moderate 7.4 L tank giving useful range for urban use.
Premium Vespa brand appeal and strong resale interest in lifestyle scooters.
Cons
Matte paint is difficult to repair; scratches usually require a full panel repaint
Cannot use standard wax or polishes, requiring specific matte-care products
Pillion comfort is limited by the narrow rear seat design
Very expensive for a 125 cc scooter compared to mainstream Japanese and Indian rivals.
Feature set is basic for the price; lacks modern digital cluster and connectivity.
