Next NX2 125I test: Introduction, positioning and rivals of the Next Nx2 125i
Next is a Spanish brand founded in 2017, which began as an Alicante startup and that in 2025 already has a consolidated electric scooter range, with four different models. Following its mission of “create the best motorcycles so that daily displacements are faster, more exciting and accessible”, And aware of the multitude of casuistry among its users, have decided to market their most emblematic electrical model, the NX2, also with thermal engine.
It is another test of the innovative character of Next, which far from closing only to the electric universe with a unilateral discourse, are aware of the different market realities and that, deep down, the motorcycle is part of the solution, not of the problem, beyond the propulsion system.
The synergies generated by manufacturing a thermal scooter such as the Next NX2 125I (9.5 hp, € 2,499) with a proven design and part, together with a simple choice of the motor unit, allows a really attractive marketing price. Together with the 5 -year guarantee and insurance for a free year, we are facing an economic scooter with very good arguments.
Perhaps the audacity of his proposal is precisely that he does not lack rivals. Only among the economic scooter for the flat floor B card (to limit), we find the Ariic Gemma (9 hp, € 2,190), Honda Vision 110 (8.6 hp, € 2,555), Keeway Icon 125 S (9.5 hp, x.xxx €), Kymco Agility S 125 ABS (10.5 cv, € 2,899) Ventura 125 (10 hp, € 2,599), Peugeot Tweet 125 (11.5 hp, € 2,799), Piaggio Liberty 125 (11 hp, € 2,999), QJ Motor SQ16 (15 hp, € 2,899), Suzuki Avenis 125 (8.7 hp, € 2,399), Sym Jet 14 LC (11.4 hp € 2,599), Voge SR16 (11.4 hp, € 2,992) or Yamaha Ray Zr (8.1 hp, € 2,399), many rivals among which to choose if you don’t know what you are looking for. Each emphasizes their strengths. Those of the Next Nx2 125I are the behavior and equipment, which make it a great urban.
Next NX2 125I test: Technical characteristics of the Next Nx2 125i
Although we are facing a flat platform scooter, the design of the Next Nx2 125I is truly aggressive. Its aggressive lines make the NX2 smaller than it is, because the truth is that the wheelbase reaches 1,400 mm, responsible for the stability of the set.
If it seems shorter, it is because the platform is relatively high, which makes the leg posture a bit collected. Although the legs are a bit shrunk, there is plenty of space after the shield (I am 178 cm) and the driving posture is comfortable (there is lumbar support). The possible passenger goes on a top floor, because the seat has two heights.
You can grab two magnificent gights, but your feet will be somewhat advanced in the folding rests. The distance to the ground is quite affordable (780 mm) and does not raise any problem. With 140 kg in the order of march and a great capacity to turn, maneuver with him is a children’s game, either uploaded to him or moving it on a sidewalk.
The engine is a simple 125 cm3 SOHC monocylinder air -cooled that delivers 9.5 hp to 7,500 rpm and 9.2 nm to 6,000 rpm, quite in line with most of its rivals. Their accelerations are not glowing, but they are more than enough to defend themselves in the urban jungle.
In the dichotomy in automatic scooters between acceleration and maximum speed, opt a bit for the second term. Endure cruises of 100 km/h llaneando, being able to overcome 110 km/h of marker in favorable conditions, above the expected.
The approved consumption of 2.7 l/100 km is brilliant, which with 7 liters of capacity in the deposit, throws a theoretical autonomy of more than 250 kilometers. The filling plug is under the handlebar, to the left of the counterscud. The starter selector opens (in reverse) and is very comfortable to replace without even having to get off the NX2 125i.
Brakes and suspensions are simple, but they work at a very good level, the telescopic fork is well tasted and well with the braking equipment assisted by CBS. Whatever the braking combination, the two albums always act (250 mm in front and 240 mm behind).
In all these combinations, the scooter stops effectively, but I especially liked the touch of the left handle (rear brake). Behind mounts two adjustable independent shock absorbers. The tires are 120/70-13 and 130/70-13 respectively.
The equipment is quite profuse, including standard easel. The lighting is full LED and the front flashing are integrated into the body, safe from stopping. It has the Keyless Start System, which includes alarm and acoustic location of the motorcycle.
But the king of equipment is his fantastic TFT screen; Not because you can see all the information in a single glance (except the speed, the figures are seen in small figures), but for its connectivity system, which allows the connection of your mobile in a very easy way (QR code).
With this system, you can choose between the browser of your mobile (by mirroring, something cumbersome) or that of the brand itself, which works perfectly, without maintaining the screen of your mobile burning. It only requires lowering the application of the brand, which is free. In addition, there are two USB (A and C) shots, so that your mobile always has drums.
The integration of the system is really good and puts the Next NX2 125I at the point of view of delivery and delivery fleets. There will be few individuals to whom the connectivity and fluid management of the browser implies a reason for the purchase decision.
As the design comes from the electric next nx2, the shape of the hole under the seat does not allow a comprehensive helmet; That is why Next gives you a SHAD trunk (and its support) of 29 liters, resulting in a really remarkable load capacity. The hole under the seat is not bad, but due to its forms, it prevents housing housing objects.
That’s what the trunk is. Assuming that circumstance, the total (and useful) load capacity is good, because there is also a glovener after the shield, yes, open and on which a bag hook hangs.
Next NX2 125I test: How is the Next Nx2 125i
The first approach to the Next Nx2 125I is really positive. If in the photos it is perceived as an attractive scooter, the impression improves live. The touch test passes with slack. Plastic and elements fit perfectly and the sensation is that of a solid product.
Although it is normal to use the connectivity of which you enjoy, it is possible to attach the phone with a support to the handlebars, as it is tube and is in sight. Wiring and hose are hidden perfectly under the handlebar, being able to enjoy the symmetrical panorama that make up the TFT screen, the smoked dome and brake fluid deposits.
The key can stay in your pocket or enter the starter selector, the same gives, but to start the scooter ongoing you will have to tighten a Keyless key button, from which the alarm can also be activated and deactivated. Although the information is clear on the TFT panel, navigating its menu is not easy, because the panel is semi tactile; With gloves, I didn’t just manage.
Faced with the future, it would be interesting to be able to do it from the pineapples. As a curiosity, the trip is zero every time the contact is disabled, quite irritating when you are trying to obtain partial consumption.
As soon as I start the march, I feel that the platform on which my feet rest is quite high. Although the knees are flexed, they fit behind the shield and allow both legs to be supported in the counter -esteem, at the same time that my lumbar rest in the support provided by the seat. The posture is comfortable, because the handlebar is at the right distance.
At first it seemed to me that the fists were slightly open and descending, but soon I granted the posture as natural. The passenger, however, is too high. In the absence of seeing how the Shad trunk (which comes standard, not in this test unit) of 29 liters, it will surely help you as a backup, because the scamoteable stirruras are somewhat advanced; as much as to prevent the driver from carrying his feet on the flat platform as a whole.
The acceleration of the scooter from stop is, without being surprising, good. Enough to move between traffic with more solvency than most; His agility is immediately. The 13 -inch wheels and their turning angle allow to rise between cars much more than any other motorcycle with 1,400 mm between both axes would get.
Your scarce weight (140 wet), brakes and suspensions complete the trick. Nor is it wide, you immediately realize that it is a very powerful weapon in congested cities. With the flat floor, the hole under the seat and the trunk of 29 adds a cocktail of the most sparkle, by versatile.
Going out to the opening and roads does not enter the initial plan, but defends with dignity. It is capable of holding cruises of 90-100 km/Hy flow between traffic with ease. You can maintain your maximum speed as cruise speed without feeling that you will explode. At the same time and thanks to the commented wheelbase, stability is very good, that together with the quality tact commented and includes suspensions and brakes, give a good feeling of solidity.
So it is, I decided to carry the Next Nx2 125I to my mouse section to which I usually wear motorcycle motorcycles. There I could confirm my sensations regarding the cycle part, but also refine sensations. The CBS braking always intervenes, you squeeze the lift that you squeeze (or both at the same time), activating both brakes. I obtained the best sensations braking when it activated only the rear brake, which may seem strange, but not bad; Simply, different.
The behavior of the Next Nx2 125I is really good. Descending can take high rhythms. Only in the most closed paellas of the ascending sections it feels that the engine has less than 10 hp. And it is not your land either. But the Next NX2 125I is a very well done scooter that, apart from exceling in the city, is able to defend itself anywhere.
