He NEXT NX Cross 125i 2026 It is the model with which the Spanish brand NEXT Motors reinforces its leap from electrification to the combustion engine. After being born in 2017 as a manufacturer specialized in urban electric scooters, the firm has expanded its range with thermal versions such as the NX2 125i and, now, this 2026 NX Cross 125i, a scooter that does not yet have its electric twin… but will have one very soon.
It is positioned within the 125 urban crossover segment, a category that is gaining relevance thanks to its versatility, adventurous aesthetics and ease of use for B license drivers.
With a very reasonable price, top-level equipment and surprising perceived quality for its cost, the 2026 NX Cross 125i arrives as one of the most complete and best equipped scooters in its range.
Engine of the NEXT NX Cross 125i 2026
The heart of the 2026 NX Cross 125i is a 125 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, capable of delivering 14.5 HP (10.5 kW) and a maximum torque of 12.5 Nm at 8,500 rpm. These are notable figures for this displacement, placing it at the top of the A1/B segment.
The engine is associated with a CVT transmission, which offers a smooth, direct delivery and very well communicated with the rear wheel. One of the most notable aspects is that the engine pushes reliably even with large pilots. In the real test, with a 100 kg rider, the scooter showed strength from a standstill, without hesitation in starts and with more energetic recoveries than usual for a 125.
The feel of the gas is surprising for being stable, progressive and predictable, without jumps or gaps between the different phases of acceleration. On the highway, it managed to reach speeds between 110 and 115 km/h, depending on the section, even with a slight upward slope, which confirms its suitability for interurban trips and ring road trips.
Chassis, suspensions and brakes of the NEXT NX Cross 125i 2026
The 2026 NX Cross 125i is a compact and highly maneuverable scooter, with a geometry designed for agility in urban environments. The short structure and the lightness of the whole make it an extremely mousey vehicle.
It has a telescopic front fork and two shock absorbers with external bottle on the rear axle. The setting tends to be soft, which favors comfort in the city, absorbing bumps and bumps smoothly. In more demanding uses and with a lot of weight on top, practically the entire travel is used, something to be expected in a scooter in this segment. Even so, it does not lose stability or precision in turning.
The wheels are 14 inches at the front (120/80-14) and 13 at the rear (130/70-13), a configuration that reinforces the balance between comfort, agility and safety.
In the braking section, the 2026 NX Cross 125i gives a surprise: it equips a BOSCH dual-channel ABS, a rare element in economical scooters. The initial feel of the front brake may be strange, but once accustomed, the system offers power, stability and confidence in emergency situations or heavy braking.
