Luxurious new exhaust system for the current Monkey 125 (JB03 & JB05)! Four types of up- and down-type exhausts [OVER Racing]

Monkey 125, differences between current and old models

The Monkey 125 that appeared in 2018 is the old model (JB02) with a 4-speed transmission, bore diameter Φ52.4mm x stroke length 57.9mm. The Monkey 125 that appeared in 2021 is categorized as the current model (JB03 and JB05) with a 5-speed transmission, bore diameter Φ50.0mm x stroke length 63.1mm.

The following OVER mufflers are all compatible with the current models (JB03 and JB05). Owners of the older model (JB02) should choose the muffler for JB02, not the one for JB03 & JB05.

The Monkey 125 is actually a touring bike. With a completely redesigned engine, it has evolved for stress-free riding!

When the Monkey 125 was released in April 2018, many people were skeptical and asked, “Is this really a Monkey?” It is the world’s smallest road-legal bike, and if you fold down the handlebars you can even load it into a car. The Monkey’s greatest feature and appeal was its small body. However, gradually, the Monkey 125’s presence is beginning to spread. Its merits as a new leisure bike are becoming understood. And now, in its third year, the Monkey 125 has undergone its first model change. The engine has been made longer-stroke, changing the output characteristics, and a manual 5-speed transmission has been adopted. How has this first-ever 5-speed transmission changed the Monkey’s riding performance? REPORT: Kurisu Kuniyasu PHOTO: Yamada Shunsuke
