QJMOTOR COV 125 X and COV 125 S: The new masters of the A1 category
The QJMOTOR COV 125 range has arrived to redefine what riders can expect from a learner-legal motorcycle, offering a choice between the rugged, go-anywhere COV 125 X and the sharp, urban-focused COV 125 S. Designed to meet the highest Euro 5+ standards, this duo provides premium hardware and aggressive styling that punches well above its weight class.
The beating heart of both models is a modern 125cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-valve SOHC engine. It produces the maximum performance permitted for A1 category machines: 11kW (15hp) at 9,500rpm. With a peak torque of 12.1Nm at 7,000rpm and a precise 6-speed gearbox, the COV 125 delivers lively performance across the rev range, making it just as capable on open roads as it is filtering through city traffic.

While sharing the same high-performance core, the two models are tailored for different riding styles. The COV 125 X is a true Enduro adventurer, featuring a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear spoked wheel setup shod with dual-purpose CST tyres. With a commanding 920mm seat height and a massive 310mm ground clearance, it is engineered to tackle trails and rough terrain with ease.
The COV 125 S brings Supermoto aggression to the streets. It swaps the off-road bias for 17-inch spoked wheels and road-focused CST tyres, lowering the seat height to a more accessible 860mm. This configuration enhances flickability and grip on asphalt, making it the perfect tool for the urban adventurer.
Precision handling is guaranteed by high-specification suspension components. Both bikes are equipped with 43mm upside-down telescopic forks and a rear multi-link mono-shock, providing exceptional damping and stability. Braking is handled by a large 320mm wavy front disc and a 220mm rear disc, both managed by a sophisticated Bosch dual-channel ABS system for maximum security in all conditions.
The rider interface features a clear LCD digital display that provides all essential information at a glance. Both models come equipped with full LED lighting for the headlight, indicators, and taillights, ensuring optimal visibility. Practical touches include strong, thick-walled alloy Fat Bar handlebars with integrated handguards and a lightweight high-mount MX-style silencer.
Both bikes are available in White, Black, or Red, with the QJMOTOR COV 125 X priced at £2,999 while the QJMOTOR COV 125 S is available for £2,799 (both plus on the road charges).
