Performance and Chassis: What Is Hidden Under the Fairing?
The beating heart of the newcomer remains the proven liquid-cooled, electronic injection, four-stroke single-cylinder engine. Power stands at the maximum legal threshold allowed for the A1 category: 15 hp (11 kW) delivered at 9,500 rpm. The 6-speed gearbox features close ratios to keep the engine constantly in its optimal range and exploit every single horsepower at the top of the tachometer.
The top speed settles around an actual 115 - 120 km/h, a figure in line with the category that allows riders to tackle extra-urban routes without fear. The real chassis innovations lie in the wheel department and a clever optimization of mass. The SRK 125 RR wears wider tires compared to the previous model: a 110/70-17 at the front and a generous 140/60-17 at the rear, increasing the width by a solid 10 mm to ensure a larger footprint and rock-solid stability in fast, sweeping corners. The scale reveals an exciting figure: the curb weight drops to 144 kg with the 13.5-liter fuel tank completely full.
