The Papio Racer differs from the CFMoto Papio XO, with the installation of full fairing bodywork with windshield and winglets, whereas the Papio XO came with a half fairing. Touted as a “fun bike”, the Papio Racer is classed in the “mini bike” category, making it suitable for younger riders and those smaller in stature.
Powered by a single-cylinder, air-cooled engine fed by EFI and displacing 126 cc, the Papio Racer produces 9.4 hp at 8,500 rpm with a maximum torque of 8.3 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Power goes to the rear wheel via a six-speed gearbox and chain final drive.

Upside-down forks hold up the front of the Papio Racer, while the rear end is fitted with a preload-adjustable monoshock.
Inside the cockpit, a combination digital/analogue display shows all the necessary riding information. Riding conveniences include traction control and a USB charging port for the rider’s electronics, while LED lighting is used throughout.

unique “XO” shaped headlights (dual-lights) and comes with fully faired bodywork, giving it a premium feel that lacks in traditional, slim-profile kapcai.
The 6-speed gearbox allows for more engaging riding and better acceleration through the gears. It allows for more relaxed cruising at higher speeds (80–90 km/h) compared to 4-speed competitors.
Safety is a standout feature. the Papio comes with dual-channel ABS (front and rear), imnverted USD (upside-down) front forks, offering more rigid and offer better handling and stability compared to conventional forks on most standard 125cc bikes.
This is the ultimate 125cc bike otherwise just go for Cfmoto 250 dual. It’s even better.
