2008 Jianshe Cub JS125-G Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Jianshe's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2008 Jianshe Cub JS125-G features a 123.7 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) while maximum torque reaches 9 Nm (6.6 lb-ft) at 6,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 70.3 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 Cub JS125-G measures 99 kg (218 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.38 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,190 mm (46.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.3-liter (1.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
