Product Overview

• Equipped with a newly designed 4-stroke 124cc compact engine that pursues combustion efficiency and high output. The adoption of 3 bearings and high intake/exhaust efficiency ensure smooth and good response even at high revs.

Main Features

Performance/Functionality

Engine

• 1. The crankshaft uses three-point support with ball bearings in order to support high engine revolutions. It reduces friction and has excellent durability.
• 2. A lightweight cam chain is placed between the cylinders. Since the point is also provided on the crankshaft, tappet adjustment can be easily performed simply by removing the head cover.
• 3. 16ps/11,500rpm/10Kg-m/10,500rpm 2-chamber air cleaner with low intake noise and intake resistance, large diameter 22φ new cab and hemispherical combustion chamber, intake and exhaust with large capacity muffler A combination of systems achieves high power.
• 4. By adopting a 180° crankshaft, vibration is reduced without a balancer. The weight of the engine is also light, and a wide rotation range with high rotation and high output is obtained.
• 5. The crankcase is a left-right split type.
  This has made it possible to reduce the overall weight and size of the vehicle as well as the size of the engine.

Frame

• 6. The newly designed diamond frame is light and has less frontal resistance, and the slender body makes it easy to handle.
• 7. From the tank to the seat and side covers, he has a design that matches his agile running personality. While the seat cushion has a sufficient stroke (85m/m), the seat height is also lowered to provide excellent ride comfort and ease of entry and exit.
• 8. The lightweight resin fender has a fresh design with a sense of speed. There is also a toolbox in the rear.
• 9. The bottom case of the front fork has a longer overlap to reduce twisting and improve operability.
• 10. Like the CB125JX, the fuel tank cap is covered with a lid. There are no protrusions on the top of the tank, which further enhances its fresh appearance. A large capacity tank (11L) and good fuel efficiency give it a long cruising range.
• 11. The handle and grip are newly designed with both hardness and pattern. The soft feel reduces fatigue even when driving long distances.
• 12. Road clearance is high, and the slender body provides plenty of bank angle (46° on both sides).
• 13. The tire size is 2.75-18 at the front and 3.00-18 at the rear. High running performance can be obtained by installing wide and roomy tires.

Handling and Safety Considerations

• 1. A centralized indicator panel is installed between the speedometer and tachometer. Along with various warning lights, the main switch is also set, and combined with the double-sided key, operation is easy.
• 2. Left and right rearview mirrors are standard equipment.
• 3. Wear indicators are provided on the front and rear brake pads/linings for easy inspection.
