These bearing needles correspond to the modern version with rounded ends, as used in many Vespa PX gearboxes (from approx. 1982 to the present day). Ideal as a replacement if the auxiliary shaft is designed for the newer needle type or is converted to the modern auxiliary shaft as part of a revision.

Early gearbox types often use auxiliary shafts that originally required pointed bearing needles. These pointed needles are often no longer available in practice today. The modern needle type can be used as a replacement - however, the auxiliary shaft must match the round needle type(undercut/geometry for rounded ends).
The easiest way to position the needles during installation is to "glue" them in lightly with ball bearing grease. This prevents the needles from slipping or falling out during assembly.
Note: The decisive factor is the type of gearbox/valve shaft (round needle type with undercut). A modern auxiliary shaft may be required for early transmissions. Please compare dimensions in advance.
Motovespa Iris is generally classified technically (gearbox/electrics) at PX Lusso/EFL/Arcobaleno level.

The bearing needle set 2.0 x 11.8 mm is the modern version with rounded ends for many Vespa gearboxes (typically PX from approx. 1982). The following applies to early gearboxes: If pointed needles were originally intended, a suitable modern auxiliary shaft is usually required to use this type of needle - compare dimensions in advance.
