VMC – Italian engineering for real scooter lovers
When it comes to cylinders and engine components for classic Vespas, it's hard to ignore VMC. The manufacturer from northern Italy has gone from an insider tip to a well-known name in the scene in just a few years. And rightly so. VMC is not just about engineering, it's also about passion – and you can feel it in every product.
More than just aluminium casting
VMC has made a name for itself primarily with powerful cylinder kits. Whether for Smallframe, PX or Largeframe – the Italians offer solid solutions for many Vespa models. From daily-use touring cylinders to high-revving race setups, there's something for everyone. The Stelvio and Crono series are particularly popular thanks to their build quality and clever concepts. Performance and reliability go hand in hand here.
Development with a feel for the scene
What makes VMC so interesting is how close they are to the community. Many ideas don't come from a drawing board, but directly from real life – from wrenchers, riders and tuners. Nothing feels rushed or thrown together. VMC parts always seem like the result of many miles of testing and real conversations. You can tell they don't just want to sell, they genuinely live and breathe scooters.
Quality you can feel
The craftsmanship of the cylinders, the fit of the parts and the tuning for real-world riding show that VMC doesn't just copy – they truly develop. Casting quality, porting and heat management are on a level that is rare at this price point. And despite all that, VMC remains affordable and a real alternative to some of the big names.
