The best scrambler 125 in 2024

Introduction to motorcycles 125

THE 125cc are a very important part of rolling motorcycles on our roads. Indeed, they represent half of motorcycle sales.

However, it should be taken into account that most of the vehicles for owners of A1 permit (or called permit 125) are scooters.

As a reminder, according to law, 125cc must not exceed 15 horses.

In motorcycles 125, an important part is taken by motorcycles neoreros Or Vintage.

Most of 125 cc of this type use an already proven combination: 

• Steel tubular framework
• Air cooling monocylinder, simple head camshaft
• 17 -inch radius rims

The recent 125cc are very close to the 125 Japanese who dominated the market about twenty years ago. However, there have been changes. 

The differences are due to Euro 4 and 5 standards :

• Front and rear disc brakes
• Coupled brakes 70/30
• Electronic injection
• ABS (for some models). 

The simplicity of construction means that these motorcycles are highly appreciated because they are simple And durable.

And in the category of Neoreros motorcycles, we find the type motorcycles scramble. 

As a reminder, the scramble is a motorcycle rid of all superfluous elements and upgrade to make it more conducive to off -road performance.
