Global Roots: From Partnerships with MV Agusta to Adventure Market Domination
The Qianjiang Group, owner of QJMOTOR, is no newcomer to the industry. Since the 1980s, the company has been building engines and chassis for renowned brands like Benelli and Keeway, demonstrating mastery in sharing platforms for global efficiency. The true turning point came in 2020 with the strategic alliance with Italian MV Agusta. This collaboration aimed to expand the Italian brand’s presence in China and exchange technical know-how, resulting in models like the Lucky Explorer 5.5, which combined classic Italian design with a mechanical base developed by QJMOTOR.
Although MV Agusta has pivoted to larger projects under new control, such as the 931cc Enduro Veloce, the legacy remains: rally-inspired proportions and adventure ergonomics have been embedded into QJMOTOR’s DNA. Today, this is reflected in the SRT 125 DX, an A1-certified motorcycle that captures the essence of machines like the HONDA AFRICA TWIN 2026, but on a smaller scale and at an affordable price. This global interconnection proves how the Asian scale democratizes premium technologies, allowing young riders to access style without compromising visual appeal.
To understand the impact, consider the ecosystem: QJMOTOR produces millions of units annually, optimizing costs without sacrificing quality. This expertise in platform sharing is what makes the SRT 125 DX feasible, offering rally stage presence at a value that European entry-level rivals cannot match.
Mini Rally Design: Eye-Catching Aesthetics That Win Hearts
At first glance, the QJMOTOR SRT 125 DX deceives: its tall silhouette, with generous fairings, vertical windshield, and 21-inch spoked wheels at the front, evokes giants like the Africa Twin or KTM Adventure. It’s not a cheap imitation but an intelligent application of proven adventure segment formulas. The dual LED headlight enhances its aggressive look, while handguards and a rear rack come standard, shouting “ready for adventure.”
Ergonomically, the seat height of 86.1 cm may intimidate shorter riders, but it precisely delivers a real rally presence. With a ground clearance of 22.6 cm, it handles light trails without hesitation, making it ideal for those wanting to leave urban asphalt and test their limits. Young riders, attracted to bikes that inspire aspiration, will find here a machine that doesn’t look “entry-level.”
- Elevated silhouette: Proportions that mimic 1000cc adventures.
- Spoked wheels: Authentic off-road style, compatible with mixed tires.
- Riding position: Upright and comfortable for hours standing or seated.
This bold visual stance positions it against rivals like the ULTRAVIOLETTE X-47 CROSSOVER 2026, which also challenge the European status quo with accessible innovation, but the SRT focuses purely on classic adventure DNA.
Maximum Power in A1, Advanced Tech, and Uncompromising Safety
At the heart of the QJMOTOR SRT 125 DX is a liquid-cooled, 125cc single-cylinder engine, with 4 valves, producing 15 hp at 9,500 rpm and 12.5 Nm at 7,500 rpm – the legal limit for A1 licenses in Europe. The 6-speed gearbox and final chain drive ensure urban and highway agility, with a dry weight of just 129 kg for easy maneuvers.
The steel tubular frame, upside-down front fork, and adjustable rear mono-shock with preload offer rigidity and off-road capability. Check out key specs in the table:
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Engine | 125cc, liquid-cooled, 4V, 15 hp / 12.5 Nm |
| Transmission | 6-speed, chain drive |
| Frame | Steel tubular cradle |
| Front Suspension | Upside-down fork |
| Rear Suspension | Mono with preload adjustment |
| Weight | 129 kg |
| Seat Height | 86.1 cm |
| Ground Clearance | 22.6 cm |
Safety is a top priority: ABS on both wheels (300mm front disc with dual caliper, 220mm rear), full LED lighting, and a 5-inch color TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity. Double USB ports, a tall windshield, and a rear rack complete the package, surpassing many 125cc naked or sport bikes. Compared to beasts like the KTM 1390 SUPER ADVENTURE S EVO, it delivers 10% of the power but 100% attitude at a fraction of the price.
For customizers, the modular design allows upgrades like side cases or snorkel, expanding its appeal. In daily use, linear torque makes overtaking easier, and the low weight makes it agile in busy cities. Preliminary tests indicate consumption around 30-35 km/l, depending on usage.
Still connected to the MV Agusta legacy, as seen in special editions of the MV AGUSTA RUSH TITANIO, the SRT 125 DX proves that aspiration has no minimum displacement. It caters to newcomers who want more than just commuting: they seek real adventure, premium visuals, and modern tech. Coming soon to Europe, expect queues at dealerships – QJMOTOR has just raised the bar for 125cc adventure bikes forever.
This bike is not just an entry point into the adventure world; it’s a bridge for riders who will grow dreaming of upgrades to big trails. Monitor initial prices around 4,500-5,500 euros, depending on the market, and get ready to see these tall silhouettes dominate secondary roads.
