Built around FB Mondial's classic motorcycle platform, the 2017 FB Mondial HPS 125 Hipster features a 124.2 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.4 HP (9.8 kW) at 9,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 12.3 Nm (9.1 lb-ft) at 7,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 107.9 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (7,500 rpm) and peak power (9,750 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 HPS 125 Hipster measures 130 kg (287 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.7 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 785 mm (30.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,370 mm (53.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14-liter (3.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
