Home / New Bike Prices / Benelli / Panarea 125
Benelli’s Panarea 125 EFI is a neo-retro scooter positioned as a stylish alternative in the 125cc segment, aimed at car buyers who want an easy, premium-feeling commuter for Kathmandu and other urban centres. With its Italian brand cachet, distinctive design and modern features, it targets buyers who value image and comfort as much as basic practicality, now at a more accessible price point after recent reductions in Nepal.
Editorial overview compiled from official specs and Nepali/Indian auto sources · as of 18 Jul 2026.
The Panarea 125 EFI leans heavily on a neo-retro theme, mixing classic rounded lines and chrome touches with sharper modern lighting and bodywork. Its compact proportions, 12-inch wheels and low, leather-finished seat give it a squat, European-scooter stance that looks more upmarket than most mainstream 125cc rivals on Nepali roads. Full LED lighting and a cleanly styled front apron help it stand out in city traffic. Bright colour options like blue and yellow suit younger urban buyers who treat their scooter as a lifestyle accessory as much as transport. For car owners used to design-conscious cabins, the Panarea’s visual flair and tight build feel like a natural extension of that aesthetic onto two wheels.
Under the bodywork sits a 124–125cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, 4-stroke, 2-valve FI engine paired with a CVT automatic gearbox, tuned for easy city use rather than outright speed. Outputs sit in the typical 125cc scooter band, with power around the mid-single-digit kilowatt mark and torque just over 9 Nm, enough to get off the line smartly and keep up with urban flows on the Ring Road without feeling stressed. Reviewers and local tests point to smooth power delivery, a claimed city mileage around the mid-teens in km per litre per hundred rupees of fuel (roughly up to about 50 km/l) and a top speed near 90 km/h. That is more than sufficient for Nepali city and short-highway use. For car owners, the combination of twist-and-go CVT, light weight and modest performance makes the Panarea feel friendly and unintimidating, yet quicker to thread through traffic and park than any small hatchback.
