Engine and performance

Power comes from a 125cc single producing 11.93 bhp and 11.7 Nm, paired with a Automatic automatic. At 122 kg the power-to-weight figure is 98 bhp per tonne, which ranks 5 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 Mobster weighs 122 kg with fluids, has an 797 mm seat, 155 mm of ground clearance, and rides on a 1341 mm wheelbase. Clearance is on the low side; take tall speed breakers at an angle with a pillion.

The fuel tank holds 8 litres, good for about 324 km between fills in real-world riding.

Tyres are 120/70-R12 front and 130/70-R12 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

  • Single-channel ABS

    ABS on the front wheel only. Far better than none; the rear can still lock.

  • Front disc brake

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

  • Rear disc brake

    Adds feel and fade resistance at the back; matters more on heavier or faster bikes.

  • Tubeless tyres

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

  • Traction control

    Cuts power if the rear spins on wet paint or gravel. Rare under ₹2 lakh.

  • Hazard lamps

    All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.

Convenience

  • USB charging port

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

  • Keyless start

    Start and lock with the fob in your pocket. Convenient, but replacement fobs are expensive.

  • Under-seat storage

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

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.

  • Projector headlamp

    Sharper cut-off and a longer throw than a reflector unit.

  • LED daytime running lamp

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

  • LED tail lamp

    Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.

Console and connectivity

  • Colour TFT console

    Readable in direct sun and can show turn-by-turn navigation.

  • Digital console

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

  • Bluetooth connectivity

    Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

    Directions on the console via the phone app. Saves mounting a phone on the bars.

Equipment against S 125, Officina 8 and 125

Against S 125, Officina 8 or 125, it gets single-channel abs, rear disc brake, traction control and hazard lamps that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: combi-brake (cbs) and side-stand engine cut-off, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
