With options like the eye-catching Nero Lucido and fiery Rosso Dragon, this model reflects a youthful spirit and an appetite for adventure. At the heart of the Runner ST 125 lies a robust 124cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers a peppy 14.5 horsepower at a spirited 9,750 RPM, ensuring exhilarating acceleration that makes city riding a thrill. The engine’s peak torque of 11.7 Nm at 8,000 RPM provides a responsive feel, especially during those quick starts and stops common in urban settings.

The Runner ST 125 is equipped with features that enhance both safety and comfort. Its cradled steel tube frame and pressed steel construction provide a sturdy foundation, while the telescopic hydraulic front forks and twin hydraulic shock absorbers at the rear ensure a smooth ride over city streets and uneven terrain. The braking system is equally noteworthy, featuring a stainless steel floating disc at the front with a dual-piston caliper, paired with a rear disc setup that promises reliable stopping power. With a comfortable seat height of 815 mm, the Runner ST 125 accommodates a wide range of riders, making it suitable for everyone from seasoned motorcyclists to newcomers to the scooter world. **
