Yamaha is working on a new Cygnus X 125.
Recently, the company was testing the upcoming scooter on the streets of
Taiwan. As per the latest reports, the upcoming Yamaha Cygnus X 125 would be
powered by a new water-cooled engine. The current model of the Cygnus X 125 has
a 124 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 9.8 PS of
maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 9.9 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm.
The new Cygnus X 125's engine could be the
Yamaha NMax's 124 cc single-cylinder, water-cooled engine which churns out 12 PS of maximum power at 7,500 rpm and 12 Nm of peak torque at 7,250
rpm. If Yamaha does use this engine in the Cygnus X, then the scooter would
benefit from the higher power and torque figures.
When it comes to aesthetics, the new
Cygnus X wouldn’t be drastically different from the current model. It would
feature the same sporty, sharp, and aggressive design. We are expecting to see
similar LED headlamps and DRLs. However, the rear end would get a revised LED
taillight cluster and fender.
Based on the spy shots, the muffler of the
new Cygnus X 125 also appears to be new. Yamaha would also borrow the rearview
mirrors and wheels from the NMax. Talking about the wheels, the front disc
brake of the upcoming Cygnus X would be located on the right side instead of on
the left side as on the current model. We wouldn’t be surprised to see an
updated full-digital instrument cluster as well, perhaps, taken from the NMax
only.
