At the heart of the 2012 Aprilia SportCity Cube 125 scooter motorcycle, Aprilia utilizes a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.9 HP (10.9 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.7 Nm (8.6 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 119.4 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,000 rpm), 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 815 mm (32.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
