Positioned in Keeway's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Keeway Cub 125 features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 53.5 x 55.5 mm (2.1 x 2.2 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Cub 125 measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,240 mm (48.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.8-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 85 km/h (53 mph).
