Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2013 CCM SM125, a remarkable entry into the super motard category that caters to both budding riders and seasoned enthusiasts seeking an agile, lightweight machine. Crafted by Clews Competition Motorcycles, a brand with a storied history dating back to the collapse of BSA's Competition Department in 1971, the SM125 stands out with its distinctive design and performance-oriented features. This motorcycle strikes a perfect balance between fun and functionality, making it a compelling choice for urban commuting and spirited weekend rides alike. At the heart of the SM125 lies a spirited single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124cc that generates a peppy 10 horsepower at 8,500 RPM. This powerplant is designed for those who crave responsiveness and maneuverability, offering an exhilarating ride that is both accessible and engaging. The air-cooled engine, combined with a compression ratio of 9.0:1, delivers a smooth throttle response, while the conventional fork and adjustable rear shock suspension enhance the riding experience, allowing for nimble handling and stability on various terrains. With a lightweight design tipping the scales at just 130 kg (286.6 lbs), the SM125 boasts an impressive power-to-weight ratio that ensures you’ll feel in command of the road. The SM125 is not just about raw performance; it also brings essential features that enhance both comfort and convenience. With an electric starter, a robust tubular welded steel frame, and single disc brakes at both front and rear, it combines durability with practical technology that will inspire confidence in riders of all skill levels. The bike's 8.80-litre fuel tank offers a respectable range for a day of thrilling rides, while the 220 mm ground clearance allows for confident navigation over urban obstacles. The sleek black color option gives it a modern aesthetic, making it as visually appealing as it is functional. **
