1962 saw the introduction of what was known as the 'Slimstyle' range, with a far more streamlined, sportier look introduced throughout the range of Lambrettas. The same models were available, being the LI125, the LI150, and the TV175, but as the 1960s wore on, a TV200 was introduced, mainly for export to the UK. The TV175 also boasted an internal disc brake in the hub, as opposed to a standard drum brake. This was the first production disc brake fitted to a motorcycle as standard in the world, and would feature on all future Lambrettas with an engine capacity of 175cc or more. Models fitted with a disc brake also had dampers fitted to the forks.
