Keeway RCS 125

For a cub-class bike, the Keeway RCS 125 looks funky and youthful, despite its compact size and slimmer stance. The bike comes with slim-looking body panels and an attractive front fascia, which are adorned with bold-looking graphics, thus making the bike look standout from the crowd of other cub-class bikes.

The Keeway RCS 125 gets a V-shaped clear lens headlamp unit at the front, which comes integrated with clear lens turn indicators on its sides, and a small pentagonal pilot lamp above its middle part at the top. This headlamp doesn’t get any functional-looking cowl around it and gets a compact cover for the instrument console-mounted above it. While the body-coloured front fender has minute graphics on its sides, the front forks here come wrapped with rubber gaiters in their central part.

The side profile of the Keeway RCS 125 also looks attractive, all thanks to the bold-looking graphics on them. The Y-shaped panels surrounding the spine running in the middle from the handlebar to the rear frame make the Keeway RCS 125 looks stylish. Even the engine here comes covered with a cowl, just like a naked roadster, which flows up towards the Y-shaped panels covering the spine, thus giving the Keeway RCS 125 a very sporty look. The black theme is given to the engine and five-spoke alloy wheels further make the bike look modern.

Towards the rear, the Keeway RCS 125 has got slim-looking body panels, which flow upwards in an inclined manner and also come with bold-looking graphics. These panels end with a petite-looking clear-lens tail lamp cluster, which also integrates the turn indicators on its sides. The bike has a compact rear fender and a long and upward-rising exhaust pipe, which are also finished in a theme of black. Above the tail lamp cluster, the Keeway RCS 125 gets split pillion grab rails, which make the rear looks sporty.

While the segment instrument console of the Keeway RCS 125 looks simple, it packs in all the necessary information one needs on the go. The left housing of the unit has a speedometer, odometer, and fuel gauge, while the housing in the right has a tachometer laid out horizontally.

The Keeway RCS 125 sits on a straddle type frame, which allows it to look slim and compact. The suspension unit comprising of hydraulic telescopic forks with 87mm travel and dual-sided hydraulic coil springs with 65mm travel make the Keeway RCS 125 an easy and comfortable bike to ride at lower speeds. Riding on 70/90-17 front tyre and 80/90-17 rear tyre, the Keeway RCS 125 is equipped with a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear.

Powering the Keeway RCS 125 is a four-stroke, single-cylinder, air-cooled, 2-valve, 124.8cc engine, which is coupled to a basic 4-speed gearbox. With a maximum power output of 8.8 PS and a peak torque output of 9.5 Nm, the Keeway RCS 125 feels eager to ride with a decent amount of performance on tap for low-speed urban commutes.

The low price positioning and basic appeal of the Keeway RCS 125 mean that you will not find any modern-day safety feature in the bike, which is the case.

The Keeway RCS 125 is a fun-looking compact and affordable bike for those who want a simple means of transport and basic commutes between two points of a city. It is a decently powerful bike, which is easy to ride and handle at lower city speeds, which is a boon for first-time riders.
