Piaggio Zip RS - The Zip SP is back!
Categories: Featured, Performance Parts, Scooter Manufacturers
Written By: admin
You heard it here first; the best scooter for tuning ever built, the Piaggio Zip SP, is being re introduced to the UK market, but called the Zip RS this time. From what we know they’ll be available in white and Piaggio are just deciding on the new Zip RS decal designs at the moment
Why’s the Zip RS re-introduction to the UK a big deal?
The Zip RS (and Zip SP) is the lightest, best handing, most tunable scooter Piaggio have ever built, as far as I’m aware no other bike has won any UK or European scooter championships at all, and the race fields are 95% Zip RS / SP’s anyway, which says something for how good they are
Singled sided front suspension allows you to run Malossi RS24 suspension dampers front and back to provide the perfect handling, the 10″ wheels on the Zip RS are some of the only scooter wheels which the tyre manufacturers make super sticky race compound rubber for, the stuff you can get your knee down with!
The Zip RS is powered by the legendary liquid cooled Piaggio Hiper-2 Pro motor, which when derestricted alone normally does a very healthy 55mph, and can reach 85mph+ when fully tuned with Malossi MHR Team parts under racing conditions!
No prices have been confirmed yet but apparently they will be around the £1450 mark, making them cheaper than the Piaggio NRG and Gilera Runners, as well as being lighter and having better handling.
