Engineered by Aprilia for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2020 Aprilia RS 125 relies on a 124.2 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 10,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 119.2 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,353 mm (53.3 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.5-liter (3.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
