These are Zontes' A1-licence cruisers. The 125C2 is the evolution of the 125C, and the visible difference is the rear end: a full rear fender that gives it a more neo-retro look and carries the number plate holder at its tail, plus a generally fuller equipment list. Both use the 125 cc liquid-cooled four-valve single at 14.7 hp and 13 Nm at 7,000 rpm with a slipper clutch. The chassis pairs a fork with 127 mm of travel to twin preload-adjustable rear shocks, and the specification runs to dual-channel ABS, tyre pressure monitoring, a TFT dash, full LED lighting, twin USB sockets, adjustable levers, a dual-height seat, a 16-litre tank and proximity keyless central locking for seat and fuel cap.
One category that does not apply here
On almost every other bike in the Zontes range, a tail tidy is a top seller. Not on the 125C2. The rear fender integrates the plate holder as part of the design, and removing it changes the whole character of the bike's back end - which is the point of the C2 over the C. Buyers here go the opposite direction: rear fender protectors and trim rather than plate relocation.
What cruiser owners on an A1 licence buy
Backrests and sissy bars, saddlebags and soft luggage, and comfort seats lead. The dual-height seat already gives some adjustment, so check that before buying a lower seat. Screens matter too - a cruiser riding position with a wide, exposed chest is hard work in wind, and the 16-litre tank means owners genuinely do ride distances. After that, the personalisation set: grips, bar ends, mirrors, engine guards, highway pegs and decal kits.
Fitment
Covers the ZT125-C and ZT125-C2 plus the "C125" spelling. The C and C2 share the platform and most mechanical parts, but rear fender, seat and plate-area components differ between them - the fender is precisely what distinguishes the two. Engine and control parts often interchange with the wider Zontes 125 range.
