Built around Tomos's scooter motorcycle platform, the 2016 Tomos Twister 125 relies on a 124.6 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 8.6 Nm (6.3 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a 10.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Twister 125 measures 106 kg (234 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 780 mm (30.7 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,300 mm (51.2 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 4.8-liter (1.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints, while factory top speed is listed at 45 km/h (28 mph).
