Positioned in Kymco's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2016 Kymco Qannon 125 pairs a 124.1 cc (7.6 cu in) oil & air-cooled engine architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13 HP (9.5 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 9.8 Nm (7.2 lb-ft) at 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 104.8 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (8,500 rpm) and peak power (9,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Qannon 125 measures 137 kg (302 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.54 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1 mm (0 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 13.5-liter (3.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 105 km/h (65 mph).
