Built around Orion's enduro - offroad motorcycle platform, the 2022 Orion RFZ Thunder 125 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 56.0 x 60.0 mm (2.2 x 2.4 inches) with a 10.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the RFZ Thunder 125 measures 75 kg (165 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,200 mm (47.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 3.2-liter (0.8 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 75 km/h (47 mph).
