How rivals compare

same type, similar capacity, high test volume

On first-time pass rate the V CLIC 50 beats 3 of its 4 closest rivals (PEUGEOT SPEEDFIGHT, PIAGGIO ZIP, PIAGGIO NRG).

Rivals share this bike's type and sit within ±30% of its engine capacity, ≥ 5,000 tests. Card colour = better/worse first-time pass rate than the V CLIC 50.

Pass rate by registration year

how each model-year cohort fares · registration year from first use date

Best year to buy used: 2011 (84.6% pass). Weakest: 2007 (66.0%).
