Kymco X-Town

The Kymco X-Town is a scooter produced by Taiwanese Kwang Yang Motor Company under the Kymco brand.

History and description
Presented at EICMA 2015, 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.

Variants and updates
In summer 2017, the range was updated and two new red colors were introduced: the matt Loveno red and the glossy Malaga red. 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. In 2021 it underwent an important update, with the adaptation of the engines to the Euro 5 standard.
