Engineered by Peugeot for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2016 Peugeot Django 125 utilizes a 124.6 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 8,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 81.9 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Django 125 measures 135 kg (298 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.08 HP/kg (13.24 kg per horsepower). 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 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8.5-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
