Performing engine
The engine of the XE 125 Enduro is a single-cylinder 2-stroke liquid-cooled Yamaha 125cc that compared to the cross-version has a head with dedicated geometry which allows a lower compression ratio (cross-version: 8.6 ~ 10.7: 1 – enduro version: 7.4 ~ 8.8: 1). The CDI control unit features an ignition with a specific setting for enduro usage. The engine is equipped with an oversized generator which also powers a 12V battery. The exhaust system has been developed in collaboration with Arrow, it features a new expansion system designed specifically for enduro usage, optimized in particular at the low end. This great low-end punch ensures that the traction is always excellent, with no dips or peaks in power which are more difficult to manage.
