2008 Hyosung Karion 125 Citytrail Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

At the heart of the 2008 Hyosung Karion 125 Citytrail allround motorcycle, Hyosung features a 124.5 cc (7.6 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) while maximum torque reaches 9.6 Nm (7.1 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.9 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.

On the scales, the Karion 125 Citytrail measures 125 kg (276 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.07 HP/kg (14.37 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,500 mm (59.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 101 km/h (63 mph).
