At the heart of the XTR-S 125 lies a 125.00 ccm (7.63 cubic inches) single-cylinder, four-stroke engine.

As a sport category motorcycle, the XTR-S 125 features riding characteristics typical of its class. Riders will find a more forward-leaning posture, with a focus on a connected feel to the road. While not as aggressively track-focused as some premium sportbikes, the ergonomics lean towards a sporty experience, with rearset pegs encouraging a tucked-in riding position. Its lightweight nature contributes to agile handling, making it adept at navigating urban environments and enjoyable on winding B-roads. Comfort levels are generally good for a sport-oriented 125, though longer journeys might highlight its more focused design.
