Engineered by Malaguti for the naked motorcycle segment, the 2022 Malaguti Drakon 125 features a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.4 HP (9.8 kW) at 9,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.5 Nm (7.7 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 107.4 HP per liter and a 4,000 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 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 Drakon 125 measures 144 kg (317 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (10.75 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 805 mm (31.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 10.5-liter (2.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 99 km/h (62 mph).
