With its sleek design and a choice of vibrant color options—white, grey, and red—it captures attention while ensuring functionality, making it a compelling choice for city dwellers looking for an efficient and agile ride. Under the hood, the Nova 125 is powered by a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.60 ccm, delivering a respectable 8.45 HP at 7500 RPM and 8.30 Nm of torque at 6500 RPM.

The Keeway Nova 125 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and convenience for daily use. The telescopic coil spring oil-damped front and rear suspension provides a cushioned ride over uneven surfaces, with 83 mm of front travel and 55 mm at the rear. The braking system is equally impressive, with a single disc brake at the front and an expanding drum brake at the rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. Additional conveniences like electric and kick starters make the Nova 125 user-friendly, while a generous fuel capacity of 7.50 litres (1.98 gallons) ensures that riders can enjoy longer journeys without frequent stops for refueling. **
