Built around Husqvarna's cross - motocross motorcycle platform, the 2012 Husqvarna CR125 utilizes a 144 cc (8.8 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 58.0 x 58.0 mm (2.3 x 2.3 inches) with a 8.8:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the CR125 measures 92 kg (203 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 985 mm (38.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,460 mm (57.5 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7-liter (1.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
