Built around Malaguti's super motard motorcycle platform, the 2021 Malaguti XSM125 pairs a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 10,750 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.4 HP per liter, 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 XSM125 measures 124 kg (273 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.38 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 865 mm (34.1 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control.
