EICMA profiles the Capetown 7X: the adventure bike honoring the 1935 London-to-Cape Town crossing
EICMA's official site published an in-depth profile of the Capetown 7X, the mid-size adventure bike with a 693cc parallel-twin engine designed by the Phelon & Moore Style Centre in Turin, paying tribute to the historic 1935 London-to-Cape Town crossing and giving rise to the limited-edition Pininfarina model.
Italian outlet Motorbox detailed official pricing for the Panthette X: from €3,800 for the 125cc version and from €4,700 for the 300cc, a crossover scooter aimed at urban mobility and light touring, with a 7-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth, heated grips, an adjustable windscreen and full-LED lighting.
Moto.it confirmed Phelon & Moore among the exhibitors in Hall 12 of Motor Bike Expo 2026 in Verona — one of Italy's most important motorcycle shows — alongside historic and modern-classic brands such as Benelli, BSA and Mondial.
New Atlas covered the launch of the Panthette X, an adventure-style scooter available in 125cc, 250cc and 300cc versions built to compete with Yamaha and Honda. The outlet highlighted its low weight (326 lb / 148 kg), upside-down front forks, and premium equipment such as a 7-inch TFT display, ABS and heated grips.
