Introducing the 2023 AJS Cadwell 125, a stunning sport motorcycle that embodies both style and function, making it an enticing option for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike. With its sleek lines and eye-catching color options—including Silver Fox, Jet Black, Blazing Orange, Metallic Blue, and Metallic Dark Red—the Cadwell 125 is not just a mode of transport; it’s a statement piece on the road. This lightweight bike, weighing in at just 113 kg (249.1 pounds), is designed for both urban commuting and spirited weekend rides, providing an agile riding experience that’s hard to match in its class. Beneath its stylish exterior lies a robust 124.0 ccm engine that delivers a respectable 9.9 HP at 9000 RPM, paired with a torque output of 9.5 Nm at 6500 RPM. This punchy little powerhouse allows the Cadwell 125 to achieve a top speed of 96.6 km/h (60 mph), making it more than capable for city traffic and country roads alike. The fuel injection system ensures smooth acceleration and impressive fuel efficiency, achieving 1.84 litres per 100 km (127.84 mpg). Furthermore, the 5-speed gearbox and wet multiplate clutch provide seamless shifting, allowing riders to fully exploit the bike’s performance while navigating through varied terrains. The Cadwell 125 doesn’t skimp on technology and features either. Its combined braking system with double disc front brakes and single disc rear brakes, along with a telescopic front suspension and twin shock rear suspension, ensures confident handling and stability in all riding conditions. The electric and kick starter options provide peace of mind, while the adjustable seat height of 740 mm (29.1 inches) makes it accessible for riders of different statures. With an ample fuel capacity of 11.20 litres (2.96 US gallons), the Cadwell 125 is primed for longer jaunts without the constant worry of refueling. **
