Modern curvilinear appearance and enveloping, rich gifts and maximize performance.
The X10 is born, the last heir of the glorious line of Piaggio GT: a real flagship on two wheels, for those seeking ultimate comfort in a maxi scooter with all-Italian elegance.
Equipped with dual rear suspension ABS and ASR, brake integrated in the standard, all about the new X10 is designed for comfort to ensure maximum functionality and safety in general. And then there's the on-board computer with LCD display, backlit controls, large windshield, triple and a glove generous cargo area.
Piaggio is becoming the leader in the field of Gran Turismo with a proposal that the further evolution of the Italian "maxi" concept represents.
The new X10 is the latest heir to Piaggio GT tradition, which for two decades has influenced the trends in this market segment prestige. This success can be measured by more than 400,000 vehicles sold in different versions of the industry sites such as true hexagonal, X8, X9 and XEvo.
Piaggio X10 is a true flagship on two wheels with an elegant design characterized by a great innovator of complex surfaces and volumes, a new generation of vehicle designed to provide the most advanced mobility needs: benchmark with comfort and management, to tackle long distances in comfort, but also for smooth movement of the city in safety.
A proposal that evolves and raises the concept of "living traveling": elegant, exclusive and fully equipped with a gift of the rich and numerous details designed to please the eyes but with maximum functionality.
Piaggio X10 provides commuters with an excellent capacity, thanks to the great helmet compartment carpet, thanks to light, 12V socket, and can comfortably accommodate two flip-up helmets - and three boxes of gloves in the leg shield back plate.
Offered in three different modern engines, environmental performance and high, - 125, 350 and 500 - Piaggio X10 is able to meet the needs of daily mobility needs of different users, offering a wide range of customization options .
A unique style
A comfortable and elegant look for a design that is modern and classic at the same time, looking to the future, but also the preservation and development of the distinctive Italian style and authentic Piaggio family. The new X10 is out for a look that manages to be original, without sacrificing the harmony and where the greatest attention to detail pleases the eye, while providing maximum functionality.
Is captured by the subsequent system constituting the poly-elliptical high front-lighting of the two parabolas complex plane of the beam and direction, and that the crossing of the front containing the entire width, makes the "view" of the new Piaggio X10 only.
Within a framework is light - and sublime - the familiar hexagonal logo which for years has characterized the front view of Piaggio models: a tribute to tradition, but in a modern way. An effect achieved behind a matte surface 6 LED high efficiency, whose light, like differential generates a continuous beam, which also brought to light.
Another detail that the X10 is connected with the latest models of Piaggio, the metal insert that covers the entire vehicle level, creating a good contrast with the components in body color, a style element that fits the dominant "wave "motive that drives the side of the fender to the tail.
Smooth surfaces are mixed with signals stronger and more decisive, resulting in an alternation of concave and convex, smooth, flowing lines, strength and dynamism.
The rear is characterized by limited height difference between the driver and passenger seats, and then ends in a shortened tail, where the two large handles and support that adapts perfectly to the margin. A choice that the advantage of combining the functionality of an easy climb on board for passengers of all sizes with the beauty of the back, reinforced by the presence of the great 150/70 tires and horizontal development, the car of inspiration headlight assembly has two dual LED thin lines protected by a transparent glass - and supplemented by casting Piaggio satin prints.
Once aboard the X10 Piaggio, the view is dominated by the rich and middle panel: a synthesis of style and technology that is similar in form and content in the dashboard of a luxury sedan.
Between the two large circular dials for speedometer and tachometer - illuminated in blue - is placed in the 4-inch LCD screen of the onboard computer, which is also blue.
The display of a variety of information can be displayed, including those related to the average consumption and current, average and maximum speed, range, fuel level and coolant temperature, and even travel time, clock, temperature with ice alarm, the indicator card dual engine control unit, the level of electrical discharge, with two partial trip and the battery voltage.
An upper lid 11 contains the warning lights, operation of high beams, turn signals, backup, warning oil pressure (injection), immobilizer, ABS, ASR, danger and starting to indicate that the inhibition.
An absolute novelty in the world of scooter, backlit controls on the steering wheel, a solution that ensures fast and effective recognition of the night of the controls on the bottom line for safety.
On the right we find the start button, the button assignments to select (350), the key engine stop command and the Mode button to navigate through the information in the onboard computer.
On the left are the acoustic alarm button, which in turn control and high-beam/low-beam/flashing.
Twice and down to adjust the damper (500), and the ASR and the risk of buttons instead placed on the plate back leg shield, with the commands for opening the chair, and the fuel cap, which on the center tunnel provides a convenient access without alighting.
The wide, comfortable seat of the X10, which is only 760 mm above the ground, the result of careful ergonomic research focused on giving the rider a seat that is totally comfortable and stable.
The longitudinal adjustment of the lumbar pad can be used in the space available for the passenger to vary and optimal support to the lumbar area of the cyclist.
Housing comfortable and practical.
In the new X10, maximum comfort is also ensured the position of the seat - designed to allow the pilot to have to stretch your legs in the broad side steps, which slide coverage extends to the bottom plate of the leg part Rear shield - and the large windshield, thanks to the innovative profile curvature and warm bed and lower anti-turbulence, finally, optimizes the aerodynamics of the vehicle, the effective protection of the driver and passenger from the direct impact of air.
The protection is complete with two glasses of attachments on the side profile of the screen: He studied in the wind tunnel, which effectively deflect air everywhere.
In the plate back leg shield is a central compartment of the largest of its kind where the 12V outlet and two drawers for convenient practical objects, ideal for storing keys, wallet or coupon service the highway at hand.
The drawer on the left also has a USB port that can be used to power the mobile phone or navigation
The removal of the chair, held open by a piston system practice, we have a more than generous housing: a real boat, equipped with anti-shock mat and light free, able to comfortably accommodate two helmets folding.
2012 Piaggio Model 500 featured X10
Engine
Elegant and cozy, comfortable and functional, but also safe, fun and high performance.
For lovers of high-performance dedicated to the motor 500.
The Piaggio 492 cc is actually capable of a maximum power of 40 hp and maximum torque of over 42 Nm, values that can be placed on top of his class.
The dual plug is also possible to optimize the combustion in the cylinder with reduced noise and gases.
The result is a flexible, high-performance engine completely, even at low revs and medium enterprises, but the "closed loop" the fuel injection system equipped with a lambda probe in the exhaust and 3-way catalytic converter reduces emissions to a minimum.
Chassis and brake system
Piaggio's new X10-making first-chassis solutions that provide comfort and long-term stability, without a compromise in terms of agility, maneuverability and driveability. The double cradle frame of high strength steel, the front is a traditional fork works with a distance of 115 mm, for better comfort in all types of roads.
However, at 500 is a single rear shock absorber selected electrically adjustable pre-tension on the right side of the vehicle, so that the wheel load receives via a lever. The tax structure that depends on the load and the type of riding you want to optimize, you can set free out of the vehicle by simply turning up and down the command, located on the plate behind the leg shield and visible on the instrument a digital display.
The 5-spoke wheels are 15 "in the front (tires 120/70) and 13" rear (tire 150/70).
Piaggio X10 is equipped with an advanced dual front disc brake with 280 mm and 240 mm disc on the rear brake system standard and, optionally, the ABS / ASR double (smooth acceleration control).
The combined brake, the right lever operates only in one of the front brake calipers, while the left can, while the other front and rear clamp. A calibration of the distribution valve is dependent brake pressure back, more braking possible, preventing front wheel lock early hard surfaces to provide optimal treatment.
In the embodiment with ABS, ASR, and each wheel is provided with a speed detection system - a tone wheel sensor - which measures the instantaneous speed and deceleration with respect to the vehicle.
The sensors communicate with a 3-channel system ABS is activated when a control valve of the two wheels relative to the vehicle slows down considerably, so that blocking of the wheels and stable and effective braking of the vehicle, also on a surface with a low coefficient of friction.
ASR use of electronics and sensors, comparing the ABS speed of rotation of the two wheels. When the sensors detect an excessive speed of the rear wheel, involving the control unit (first in advance, and then, if desired, the injection) to prevent slippage and lose control of the vehicle to avoid.
ASR can be deactivated by a button on the plate back leg shield, the possibility of decoupling, even in special circumstances to ensure - leaving on a slope, gravel, etc - but will return automatically to any inflammation of the panel .
Another safety feature of the new Piaggio X10 is the presence of the parking brake is integrated into the side: for each extracting crank brake is activated automatically, X10 maintaining stable and secure, even when stopped on the ground not flat.
