British bike firm AJS have released this new café racer dubbed the Cadwell 125, which is built in China along with the rest of the AJS range. Targeted at newer and younger riders, it’s suitable for 17 year olds and A1 license holders who are looking for a budget bike that’s on trend.


Powered by a single-cylinder four-stroke that should see the Cadwell reach 65 mph, there’s more than enough for the learner or city commuter on tap. It comes with a few aftermarket options available too including chrome fenders, a flat brat-style seat and a flyscreen.

With an unladen mass of just 113 kg and a seat height of 740mm, it’s well suited to shorter riders and isn’t going to intimidate.


It comes with black or silver colour options and the spec is fairly basic but at a wallet friendly £ 1898, you wouldn’t expect more and at this price it’s very attractive for those who are just getting into biking. It’s already proving to be a popular machine, with half of AJS’s stock already accounted for.
