Positioned in Keeway's scooter motorcycle lineup, the 2018 Keeway RCX 125 pairs a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 8.7 HP (6.4 kW) at 7,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.5 Nm (7 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 69.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (7,000 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the RCX 125 measures 99 kg (218 lbs) wet (curb), 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 795 mm (31.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,258 mm (49.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.9-liter (1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
