2006 Malaguti Phantom Max 125 Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Malaguti for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2006 Malaguti Phantom Max 125 relies on a 124 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. 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 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through belt final drive. With a specific output of 108.1 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 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 Phantom Max 125 measures 131 kg (289 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.78 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 790 mm (31.1 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,360 mm (53.5 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9.4-liter (2.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
