CT125 ・Main features of the Hunter Cub

・The rear frame is extended based on the frame of the Super Cub C125. Reinforcement around the head pipe and additional pivot plates optimize the rigidity balance assuming a wide range of driving conditions, from urban areas to trekking.・Up handle is adopted for the top bridge and telescopic front fork that have the same shape as a general motorcycle. It is an upright riding position with a good view.・A minimum ground clearance of 165mm is ensured by adopting an up muffler and an under guard to improve the handling of the vehicle on rough roads with uneven road surfaces.・Disc brakes are used front and rear, and 1-channel ABS^*1, which operates only on the front, is installed. It further enhances the sense of security when braking.・The front and rear wheels use stainless steel spokes on steel rims with a matte gray finish that tightens the suspension.

*1 ABS is a system that assists the rider's brake operation. As with vehicles not equipped with ABS, sufficient deceleration is required before corners, etc., and it is not possible to handle unreasonable driving. When the ABS is activated, the kick pack (swing back) informs the system activation.

・Adopts a dedicated intake and exhaust system with an air cleaner that uses a high mount intake duct and an up muffler. The output characteristics emphasize power in the low to medium speed range, such as frequent starts and stops in urban areas, climbing hills when loading luggage, and leisurely cruising during touring and trekking.
