Built around Zontes's allround motorcycle platform, the 2016 Zontes Mantis 125 utilizes a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 10.7 HP (7.8 kW) at 9,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 85.6 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 Mantis 125 measures 120 kg (265 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.09 HP/kg (11.21 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 725 mm (28.5 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,314 mm (51.7 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 2.8 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 536 km (333 miles) between fill-ups.
