APRILIA Pegaso 125 (1993-1994) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Aprilia Pegaso was a dual-purpose motorcycle with light off-road capabilities manufactured by Aprilia from 1989 to 2011 as a replacement model for the Aprilia Tuareg. It was the first alternative to the classic desert-road enduro motorcycles with characteristics more suited for road use.

In 1993, the Italian motorcycle manufacturer launched the Aprilia Pegaso 125, a small displacement motorcycle that carried the same technical, visual, and performance specifications as the previous model without modifications.

The motorcycle came with standard fittings, such as a half-fairing with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a luggage rack, a high-mounted exhaust system, a side stand, and wire-spoke wheels.

In the suspension department, the Pegaso 125 packed a 41 mm inverted telescopic fork on the front and an adjustable shock absorber on the rear, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

Braking-wise, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 300 mm brake disc on the front and a 220 mm disc on the rear. The front disc was engaged by a dual-piston caliper, and the rear one by a single-piston caliper.

As for power, the 1993 Aprilia Pegaso 125 had its heartbeat set by a 124cc four-stroke liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with a 34 mm Dell'Orto carburetor feeding the piston. As for the power figures, the engine delivered 31 hp at 10,000 rpm and 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
