The adventure scooter sector, christened by Honda with the X-ADV and subsequently in more urban-focused garb, again by Honda with the popular ADV 350 and ADV 150, has been expanded with new rivals. The Brera X, a new rugged scooter with an off-road-inspired design, has recently been introduced in the European market by KL Motors, a fledgling Italian motorcycle brand.
The Brera X, which will be available in showrooms across Europe soon, is poised to dominate the entry-level and mid-sized ADV scooter sector. It costs 5,390 Euros (about $5,767 USD) in 300cc form. The X's chassis has been changed in comparison to the Brera, the normal road-going maxi-scooter on which it is based. For starters, the suspension has been toughened up, with a sturdy inverted fork with 35mm stanchions and two shock absorbers at the back. According to Brera, the new suspension configuration has been adjusted to provide improved stability and handling. Overall, the Brera X isn't exactly a featherweight in terms of scooters, weighing in at 169 kilograms.
