Overview

Introducing the 2018 Keeway RCS 125, a nimble and stylish scooter designed for urban commuting and light recreational riding. Positioned as a reliable entry-level option, the RCS 125 is perfect for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike who seek a compact yet capable machine. With its vibrant color options of red, black, green, and grey, this scooter not only offers practicality but also a dash of personality that helps you stand out in the bustling city streets. Sold primarily in Asia, this scooter is an embodiment of Keeway's commitment to providing quality motorcycles at an accessible price point. At the heart of the RCS 125 lies a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.8 ccm. This powerplant produces an impressive 8.72 horsepower at 7000 RPM and generates a torque of 9.5 Nm @ 5500 RPM, ensuring spirited acceleration for city navigation. The air-cooled engine, coupled with a 4-speed gearbox and chain final drive, provides a smooth and responsive riding experience that is ideal for zipping through traffic. The combination of lightweight construction at just 99 kg (218.3 lbs) and a power-to-weight ratio of 0.0881 HP/kg makes the RCS 125 exceptionally agile, allowing riders to maneuver easily in tight spaces and handle turns with confidence. The 2018 RCS 125 is equipped with features that enhance both comfort and convenience. Its straddle-type frame is complemented by a telescopic front suspension and dual rear shocks, providing a balanced ride quality that absorbs road imperfections effectively. The braking system, featuring a single disc at the front and a drum brake at the rear, offers reliable stopping power for everyday use. Riders will appreciate the dual starting options—electric and kick start—that ensure your scooter is always ready to go. With a modest fuel capacity of 3.90 liters (1.03 gallons), the RCS 125 is designed for efficiency, making it an economical choice for daily commutes. **
