Built around Modenas's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2023 Modenas Karisma 125S features a 124.8 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 52.4 x 57.9 mm (2.1 x 2.3 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 770 mm (30.3 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,250 mm (49.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 5.1-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
