Whether you’re navigating urban landscapes or carving through winding country roads, the Cadwell holds its own with a confidence that’s hard to resist. At the heart of the Cadwell 125 lies a spirited 124cc engine that delivers 9.9 horsepower at a peppy 9,000 RPM, making it perfect for spirited rides and daily commutes alike. With a torque of 9.5 Nm at 6,500 RPM, this air-cooled, fuel-injected powerhouse provides a lively throttle response that enhances the overall riding experience. The 5-speed gearbox, combined with a wet multiplate clutch, ensures smooth gear transitions while the top speed of 96.6 km/h (60 mph) offers a satisfying rush for those looking to push the limits.

The combined braking system with double front discs and a single rear disc provides excellent stopping power, ensuring you feel secure and in control even in challenging conditions. The front telescopic forks and twin shock rear suspension work in harmony to deliver a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road. The electric and kick starter options add versatility, while the comfortable seat height of 740 mm makes it accessible for riders of various statures. A generous fuel capacity of 11.20 litres also means fewer stops on long journeys, allowing you to enjoy more of the open road. **
