This bike combines cutting-edge technology with tried-and-true engineering, making it a fantastic option for anyone eager to explore the world of motocross. At the heart of the MC 125 lies a robust 124.8 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that churns out an impressive 40 horsepower. This powerplant is designed for maximum responsiveness, ensuring that every twist of the throttle delivers exhilarating acceleration. The Mikuni TMX carburettor allows for precise fuel delivery, optimizing performance across a range of conditions, while the Kokusan EMS ignition system ensures reliable starts and consistent power output.

The chassis and suspension of the GAS GAS MC 125 are engineered for high-performance riding. With a central double-cradle-type frame made from 25CrMo4 steel, it offers exceptional strength and stability. The WP XACT-USD front suspension, with a generous 310 mm of travel, and the WP XACT Monoshock in the rear, boasting 300 mm of travel, provide the kind of plush ride that allows riders to tackle rough terrain with confidence. The braking system, featuring single discs and 1-piston calipers both front and rear, ensures reliable stopping power, giving riders the control they need for aggressive maneuvers and tight corners. The bike's sleek red and white design not only looks striking but also reflects its racing pedigree. **
