The Piaggio X7 is available with a choice of 125cc or 250cc engines. Both engines are , 4 stroke, 4 valve, liquid cooled and Euro 3 compliant engines, providing performance whilst respecting the environment.

The 125cc LEADER engine combines power, performance with reduced consumption and fuel emissions (meets Euro 3) as well as expected. The 250cc engine, for its part, belongs to the QUASAR family and is now stated as a point of reference in the scooter category for performance, low consumption and reliability.

The 125cc Leader engine delivers 14.9HP, while the Quasar 250 offers 22 hp and 14.89 lbs/ft of torque. As a result, the X7 is presented as a perfect scooter for the city traffic but also for fun trips outside the city.

The extraordinary compactness of Piaggio X7 assures easier maneuverability through traffic. The wide seat, integrated seamlessly with the lines of the scooter, it is designed to provide a comfortable ride. The reduced height of the X7 makes it very easy to control for any type of rider.

The sturdy frame ensures stability for all distances as well as maximum passenger protection.

The front of X7 is dominated by the aggressive and aerodynamic headlights emphasizing the dynamism of the X7.

The X7 is easily recognizable by its generous 5 radius wheels (16"on the front wheel and 16" in the rear) and its impressive sports tires (110/70 and 140/70).
