Orcal Astor III: Euro5+ approved, 125cc engine, full LED lighting, inverted fork…
The Orcal Astor III is about to hit the market, and we are eagerly waiting for it! This small motorcycle has managed to win the hearts of motorcyclists looking for a simple, effective, and, above all, accessible motorbike. If you are a fan of the retro style but want a touch of modernity, this Astor III is perfect for you.
With its inverted fork, full LED lighting, and stylish turn signals, it has it all. The padded seat adds a vintage touch, and let’s not kid ourselves, the blue version presented at the Lyon show impressed everyone. Unfortunately, it won’t be imported… what a shame!
An engine designed for the city
Under its classic appearance, the Orcal Astor III houses a single-cylinder 4-stroke 124 cc engine cooled by air. Yes, with its 10 horsepower, it is not a monster of power, but nobody asks for that! Its playground is the city. With a low consumption of 3.2 L/100 km, it is clearly made to ride without spending much.
Furthermore, it features a balancer to reduce vibrations. And for the nostalgic, it has a kick, although to be honest, we will use the electric starter in day-to-day use.
An easy-to-handle motorcycle
With its 134 kg dry and a seat at 810 mm high, it is super accessible. Whether you are a novice or an experienced motorcyclist looking for a pleasant motorbike for the city, the Astor III knows how to win you over. It is light, maneuverable, and perfect for navigating through cars in traffic.
When it comes to comfort, it offers a lot: adjustable rear suspensions, aluminum handlebars, passenger grips… everything is designed to make the riding experience enjoyable.
A modern instrumentation
Don’t be fooled by its vintage look, the Orcal Astor III has a very up-to-date dashboard.
It includes:
- LCD screen
- Tachometer
- Digital speedometer
- Fuel gauge
- Trip meter and clock
- Gear indicator
- Side stand light
- Engine failure light
And for those addicted to their phone, it even has a USB port to charge your smartphone while riding. Convenient, right?
Adequate braking and assured safety
As for the braking, it is equipped with a CBS system that includes:
- A 300 mm front disc with a double-piston caliper
- A 210 mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper
It’s not a cutting-edge ABS, but for a 125cc, it’s more than enough to stop safely.
A price below €3,000
So, how much does this little gem cost? Officially, the price has not yet been announced, but we already know it will be under €3,000. An attractive price for a motorcycle that combines style and simplicity.
