Engine and performance

Power comes from a 124cc single producing 9.3 bhp and 10.1 Nm, paired with a Automatic automatic. At 115 kg the power-to-weight figure is 81 bhp per tonne, which ranks 15 of 32 in its class here.

The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.

Dimensions in practice

The Officina 8 weighs 115 kg with fluids, has an 770 mm seat, and rides on a 1290 mm wheelbase.

The fuel tank holds 7.4 litres, good for about 274 km between fills in real-world riding.

Tyres are 110/70-11 front and 120/70-10 rear, tubeless.

Features, and why each matters

Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.

Safety and braking

  • Combi-brake (CBS)

    Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.

  • Front disc brake

    Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.

  • Tubeless tyres

    A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.

  • Side-stand engine cut-off

    Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.

Chassis

  • Alloy wheels

    Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.

Lighting

  • LED headlamp

    Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.

  • LED daytime running lamp

    Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.

Console and connectivity

  • Digital console

    Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

    Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.

  • Under-seat storage

    Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.

Equipment against S 125, 125 and Mobster

Equipment is closely matched with S 125, 125 or Mobster; the differences are in the riding, not the spec sheet.

It is offered in 1 colours: Matte Metallic Blue. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
