How the Dax 125 feels on the road

Smooth, predictable power delivery
The 124cc fuel-injected engine is designed for easy starts and consistent throttle response. For San Diego streets, that translates to a calm, controllable pull away from stoplights and a steady pace through traffic.
Semi-automatic shifting = less stress
With a four-speed semi-automatic transmission, you can focus on the ride instead of clutch work. It’s a great match for new riders and anyone who wants a simple, fun mini-moto experience.
Lightweight confidence
At a curb weight of 236 pounds (with required fluids and a full tank of fuel), the Dax 125 is easy to maneuver, park, and handle at low speeds—ideal for tight neighborhoods and quick errands.
