Positioned in Zontes's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Zontes ZT125-8A Panther features a 125 cc (7.6 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 11.7 HP (8.5 kW) at 8,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 93.6 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 ZT125-8A Panther measures 115 kg (254 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.1 HP/kg (9.83 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 755 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,280 mm (50.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
