The Italian-inspired brand VLF, available in India through MotoHaus, is making waves in the 125 cc scooter segment with its latest offering – the Mobster 135. Priced at around ₹1,29,999 (ex-showroom introductory for first 2,500 units), this isn’t your everyday commuter scooter. With sharp styling, advanced tech, and strong performance, the Mobster 135 is designed for riders who want a scooter with attitude. Let’s take a closer look.
Premium Features That Set the Mobster 135 Apart
The Mobster 135 isn’t just about looks—it’s packed with features usually found in bigger, more expensive scooters:
- 5-inch TFT display: Shows speed, fuel, ride stats, and even lets you connect your phone for turn-by-turn navigation, call/SMS alerts, and more.
- Keyless ignition: Start your scooter without fumbling for keys.
- LED lighting: Projector headlamps, DRLs, and tail lamps for crisp visibility.
- USB charging port: Keep your devices powered on the go.
- Under-seat storage: Big enough for a half-face helmet.
- Safety tech: Dual-channel ABS with traction control.
Other highlights include 12-inch alloy wheels, tubeless tyres, telescopic front forks, gas-charged twin rear shocks, and strong disc brakes (230 mm front, 220 mm rear). This scooter isn’t just a ride—it’s a statement.
VLF Mobster 135 Mileage & Everyday Usability
The Mobster 135 comes with a liquid-cooled 125 cc engine, offering a claimed 46 km/l mileage. While city traffic and stop-and-go rides can lower this a bit, it’s still competitive for a premium scooter. Combined with its fuel tank size, it’s practical for both city commuting and occasional suburban rides.
Design That Turns Heads
If style matters to you, the Mobster 135 will not disappoint:
- Aggressive front look with twin projector headlamps + LED DRLs.
- Sculpted body panels and a stepped seat for a premium feel.
- 12-inch wheels give it a muscular stance.
- Tall seat height (~797 mm) and kerb weight (~122 kg) make it feel substantial on the road.
- Bold color options: Ghostlight, Crimson Override, Ash Circuit, Neon Venom.
This scooter is for riders who want to stand out—not blend in with the crowd.
VLF Mobster 135 Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Mobster 135 packs a punch:
- Engine: 125 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, 4-valve.
- Power: ~12.1 PS @ 8,250 rpm
- Torque: 11.7 Nm @ 6,500 rpm
- Transmission: CVT automatic
- Top speed: Around 100 km/h
The liquid cooling is a big plus, especially since most scooters in this segment are air-cooled. This means better heat management, smoother rides, and slightly more power when you need it.
