CCM SM125
Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2012 CCM SM125, a spirited entry in the super motard category that effortlessly blends agility with practical performance. This motorcycle is designed for riders who crave the thrill of urban commuting and the excitement of spirited weekend rides. With its lightweight frame and nimble handling, the SM125 is a fantastic option for both novice riders looking to hone their skills and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a fun, versatile machine. CCM has crafted a motorcycle that is not just about looks; it’s a well-engineered tool for adventure, perfect for navigating both city streets and winding backroads. At the heart of the SM125 lies a 124cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a peppy 10 horsepower at a lively 8500 RPM. This compact powerhouse, with its 9.0:1 compression ratio, offers a thrilling ride that’s both responsive and engaging. The air-cooled engine is fed by a carburettor, ensuring a simple yet effective fuel delivery system that keeps the weight down and the fun factor high. Riders will appreciate the 130 kg (286.6 lbs) weight that contributes to an impressive power-to-weight ratio, allowing for quick acceleration and agile maneuverability. The conventional front fork and single rear shock with adjustable preload provide a comfortable ride that’s ready to tackle any urban obstacle or twisty trail you might encounter. The 2012 SM125 doesn’t skimp on features, either. An electric starter ensures you’re ready to ride at the push of a button, while the tubular welded steel frame provides the durability needed for spirited outings. With an 8.80-liter fuel capacity, you can enjoy longer rides without the constant worry of refueling. The bike’s ergonomics are tailored for comfort, with a seat height of 880 mm (34.6 inches), making it accessible for a wide range of riders. Plus, the sleek black color option adds a touch of style that complements the bike’s performance-oriented design. **
Pros
