Mr.Shelby Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 https://www.soymotero.net/prueba-mitt-125-gt-max-2022 The MITT firm is fully established in Spain by Jets Marivent. After the presentation of its already large range in Portugal, we have the opportunity to test the MITT 125 GT-MAX, which also aims to seduce B drivers with the weapons of practicality In the MITT catalog there are up to 16 scooters and motorcycles that comply with the Euro 5 standard, in the 50, 125 and 300cc displacement. This indicates the seriousness with which the brand is established in our country, seeking to satisfy the needs of those who seek the best price without sacrificing quality and design. The scooter we tested today, the MITT 125 GT-MAX , goes on sale next January 15 for € 3,195 with equipment designed to convince those who consider buying a scooter from the seat of their car. 125cc scooter sales are skyrocketing, partly due to the obvious functionality that those of us who ride motorcycles already know, partly because the motorcycle is the cheapest alternative to public transport and that, in times of pandemic, is an advantage. At MITT they are aware of the moment and have opted for a GT, that is, Gran Turismo. Now only the name drinks from the automotive world. For concept and price it is difficult to find rivals, but there are. The Daelim XQ 1 125 (€ 3,295) is one of them, although within the same brand we can find an even cheaper GT like the MITT 125 GTS (€ 2,595), but it is one notch below. The best-selling Honda PCX 125 (€ 3,150) is the rival to beat, along with the Yamaha Nmax 125 (€ 3,349), but perhaps they fall into the category of GT “light”. The well-equipped SYM Joymax Z + 125 (€ 4,199) is a bit above the price. The design of the scooter is in line with that of its rivals and does not resort to copying elements from other brands (perhaps in the name). Surrounding the headlamps are LEDs that draw an unmistakable cross from the rear-view mirror of the vehicle preceding it: first and foremost, visibility. FEATURES AND EQUIPMENT OF THE MITT 125 GT-MAX 2022 The engine is a 125cc single-cylinder, water-cooled, EFI injection-fed (from Delphi Systems). The power figure is not exactly to scare, 11 hp at 8,000 rpm, but it moves the set smoothly and without vibrations. The torque is 10.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The 11: 1 compression ratio reveals that the engine is not running excessively tight. The chassis uses the steel tube, but the weight on the scale is not high, 145 kilos dry, in line with its potential rivals. The wheelbase is quite large, specifically 1,540mm, which is 15mm more than a Honda NC750X, a motorcycle considered rather long. This determines its behavior in a good way, since stability is total on the straights, while the combination of the front wheel of 14 'at the front and 13' at the rear allows changes of direction without apparent effort. Another thing is the rattling between cars, because although the angle of rotation is good, the scooter is still long and, like a good GT, also wide. The seat height is only 805mm, but the platform is wide and forces you to arch your legs. With my 1.78 it is not a problem, maybe for heights less than 170 cm. What is very well resolved is the easel, for which you hardly have to make any effort. If your laziness is maximum, there is also kickstand. Braking uses two discs assisted by an integral CBS braking system for wheels fitted with CST tires as standard. The equipment is very complete in order to attract car users. The first surprise when looking at the scooter is that under the handlebar there is a screen. At first I thought it was absurd because you can't see it going, until I realized that it was the radio! Yes, it has an FM radio with 4 buttons on each side of the screen, which you can also connect via Bluetooth with your mobile to listen to your own music or Podcast. Obviously it cannot be operated while on the go, so it is under the handlebars. At stops between traffic lights you can change stations or change the volume. Two speakers on each side of the shield are pointed towards you and if you turn up the volume enough, you can listen to music at 50 km / h, but as soon as you stop, it is not very discreet. On the left is a glove compartment with a somewhat peculiar twist-latch closure inside which is a USB socket for charging your devices. Above the handlebar there is an LCD screen with just the right information (odometer, fuel, voltage and clock) that is between two analog clocks for speed and revolutions per minute respectively. The lighting is Full LED, the levers are adjustable and the fuel is loaded between the legs, behind a hatch with a key lock. The seat lifts after opening it with the ignition key. The operation is not intuitive and until you get the hang of it (which it has), a bit irritating. The seat is kept elevated by means of a hydraulic piston to show a hole that admits a full-face helmet (in a certain position) and a little more forward of it. It is not the best hole in the world, but not the worst either. For higher load needs there are always the trunks of the auxiliary industry. The first approximation when going to start is surprising, because the closure of the clausor is in a very horizontal position. To prevent water from entering the lock, it has a small yellow button, which operates a lid and prevents its passage. In order to open this cover, it is necessary to use the back of the key, with a characteristic shape that releases the mechanism and shows the lock. A bit cumbersome if you are in a hurry. As soon as you start up, the total absence of vibrations is surprising. Lowering the motorcycle from the stand is very simple, but even if I repeat myself, no more than raising it. The feeling to the touch of the scooter and its controls is good and the same thing happens when running. The adoption of the Euro 5 standard has greatly softened the start of the scooter and this scooter is a bit lazy in the start, no doubt due to the combination of 11 HP to move the more than 200 kilos of the scooter and its driver. Once 40 km / h have been reached, things go more smoothly. The unit tested was very new and the engine was not quite loose, but I could glimpse 100 km / h on the scoreboard. Between curves and roundabouts, it responds much better than you would expect from a scooter this long, which, added to the good workmanship of the CST wheels, allows for a lot of tumbling. The ground clearance makes it almost impossible to rub against the exhaust or the bodywork. The brakes work very well. Curiously, it sinks more in front when operating the left lever than with the right, the result of the CBS system. In any case, I felt very comfortable braking with both levers at the same time Ride comfort is the main feature of this scooter. The posture is very natural, but the feet do not have many options to stay: only one position, but yes, good. The driver's seat has much appreciated lumbar support and the hands are at the right distance. The screen does not protect much and although it is very long, it is also very flat and does not offer any type of regulation. The head is out of reach. The passenger has a lot of room in the seat and to hold on, but not so much to support the feet. It is the same as with the pilot: the feet only have a place to lean, but it is also small and uncomfortable. I did not get to carry a passenger, but he would have complained (I tested his seat and posture), but given the power of the engine, carrying a passenger should be occasional. Radio may sound snobbish, but I ended up listening to it every day that I used the scooter. It is not easy to operate the buttons with gloves, because wearing them tends to push the buttons with more force than necessary. It is advisable to choose the station and volume before starting the journey. If this is going to be on express roads (or bypass, like the M 30), you have to anticipate at what speed you will ride so as not to try to adjust the volume with gloves on and on the go. Once accustomed to the operation, using the radio becomes customary and the looks at traffic lights, which are usually to find the origin of the sound source, no longer matter. It's so much fun putting on a poker face like it's not you. The MITT 125 GT-MAX arrives in Spain wanting to fight. Arguments have to achieve it. If you are looking for a practical and well-equipped scooter for little money, this is a serious option to consider. The ergonomics are very well thought out and it has details from the automotive world that are nods to fishing in that fishing ground. Smoothness, stability and music. A declaration of intentions. The sports dimension is not his priority, nor is it his ambition; for that there are other options on the market. Premium Comfort at a low price (€ 3,195) is a very good combination to make yourself known in the market. If MITT also gives you basic insurance for the first year, isn't it starting to seduce you?
