At the heart of the 2023 Malaguti XSM125 super motard motorcycle, Malaguti features a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 14.8 HP (10.8 kW) at 10,750 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11 Nm (8.1 lb-ft) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 118.6 HP per liter and a 2,750 rpm working window between peak torque (8,000 rpm) and peak power (10,750 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 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 980 mm (38.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.5 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 288 km (179 miles) between fill-ups, while factory top speed is listed at 99 km/h (62 mph).
