Positioned in Malaguti's super motard motorcycle lineup, the 2009 Malaguti X3M 125 Motard utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.2 HP (7.4 kW) at 8,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 10.1 Nm (7.4 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 81.6 HP per liter and a 2,750 rpm working window between peak torque (5,500 rpm) and peak power (8,250 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 X3M 125 Motard measures 113 kg (249 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.08 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,335 mm (52.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 9-liter (2.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
