2012 Piaggio X10 500 Review
2012 Piaggio X10 500
Modern, sinuous and enveloping look, a rich endowment and maxi performance.
The X10 is born, the latest heir of the glorious Piaggio GT line: a true flagship on two wheels, for those looking for maximum comfort in a maxi scooter with all-Italian elegance.
Electric adjustment of the rear suspension, dual ABS and ASR system, parking brake integrated into the stand, everything about the new X10 is designed to ensure comfort, maximum functionality and total safety. And then there is the on-board computer with LCD screen, backlit controls, large windshield, triple glove compartment and a generous boot.
Piaggio emerges as the leader in the Gran Turismo sector with a proposal that represents the highest evolution of the Italian "maxi" concept.
Piaggio X10 provides the urban commuter with an excellent load capacity, thanks to its large helmet compartment - with mat, courtesy light, 12V socket, and able to comfortably accommodate two flip up helmets - and three glove-boxes in the leg shield back plate.
A unique style
An upper lid contains the 11 warning lights that indicate the operation of high-beams, turn indicators, reserve, oil pressure, warning (injection), immobilizer, ABS, ASR, hazard and starter inhibition.
To the left are the acoustic buzzer button, the turn indicators one and the high-beam/low-beam/flashing command.
Comfortable and practical seat cover.
On the new the X10, maximum comfort is also ensured by the riding position - designed to allow the rider to stretch his legs on the spacious side footrests, whose antislip coverage extends to cover the lower part of the side leg shield back plate - and the large windscreen which, thanks to the innovative and welcoming double bend profile and the lower anti-turbulence slot, optimizes the aerodynamics of the vehicle, effectively protecting the rider and passenger from the direct impact of air.
The new Piaggio X10 also offers the maximum in terms of load capacity.
