How the Dax 125 Feels on the Road
Smooth, predictable power
The 124cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine uses a Programmed Fuel-Injection system (PGM-FI) with a 24mm throttle body. In real-world riding, that translates to clean starts, consistent throttle response, and easy cruising through San Diego streets without feeling jumpy.
Easy shifting with a semi-automatic
The four-speed semi-automatic transmission is designed to keep riding simple. It’s a great fit if you want the engagement of shifting gears while keeping the overall experience approachable for new riders and convenient for quick errands.
Confident braking with ABS up front
A single 220mm hydraulic front disc with ABS helps add confidence when traction changes. The rear uses a single 190mm disc. For everyday riding, that combination supports controlled stops and a reassuring lever feel.
Lightweight, easy to manage
With a curb weight of 236 pounds (including required fluids and a full tank of fuel), the Dax 125 stays friendly in parking lots and tight spaces. The 30.6-inch seat height also helps many riders feel planted at stops.
