At the heart of the 2012 Cobra CX65 minibike, cross motorcycle, Cobra relies on a 65 cc (4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 44.5 x 41.7 mm (1.8 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the CX65 measures 55.8 kg (123 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 762 mm (30 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,140 mm (44.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
Within MotoLibrary's Cobra archive, this model family spans 9 indexed model years from 2009 to 2025, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
