At the heart of the 2022 Aprilia SX 125 super motard 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 15 HP (10.9 kW) at 10,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.2 Nm (8.3 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 120.2 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.
On the scales, the SX 125 measures 134 kg (295 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (8.93 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 880 mm (34.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,425 mm (56.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 269 km (167 miles) between fill-ups.
