Royal Power Pakistan introduces GPX Libre 125, targeting Honda CG 125’s long-standing dominance in the 125cc motorcycle segment.
Royal Power Pakistan has officially introduced the GPX Libre 125cc in the local market, expanding competition in the highly popular 125cc motorcycle category.
The new entrant is positioned as a modern, feature-rich alternative aimed at attracting young and urban riders with its updated design language and improved styling.
Meanwhile, the Honda CG 125 continues to dominate the segment in Pakistan due to its decades-long reputation for durability, strong resale value, and widespread availability of spare parts. It remains the first choice for a large number of daily commuters and motorcycle enthusiasts across the country.
Traditional Strength vs Modern Styling
The Honda CG 125 is widely recognized for its traditional design, simple mechanics, and powerful performance. Its iconic engine sound and rugged build have helped it maintain a loyal customer base over the years.
However, it has seen very limited design updates, keeping its classic but outdated appearance intact.
In contrast, the GPX Libre 125 introduces a more modern design approach, featuring aggressive styling and upgraded visual appeal. Its sporty body panels and contemporary look aim to attract riders who prefer innovation and aesthetics over traditional simplicity.
Price Comparison
There is a noticeable price gap between the two motorcycles. The Honda CG 125 is priced at approximately Rs238,500, making it a more budget-friendly option for mass buyers.
On the other hand, the GPX Libre 125 is launched at around Rs325,000, placing it in a higher price bracket due to its modern features and design upgrades.
Engine and Performance Overview
The GPX Libre 125 is powered by a 123cc, 4-stroke SOHC engine with air cooling and carburetor-based ignition. It comes with a 17-liter fuel tank, offering extended riding range for long-distance use.
The Honda CG 125 features a 4-stroke OHV air-cooled engine with a 4-speed constant mesh transmission and kick-start system. Known for reliability, it remains highly efficient for daily commuting with low maintenance requirements.
Suspension and Features
The GPX Libre 125 includes telescopic front suspension, dual rear shock absorbers, disc front brake, drum rear brake, and aluminum alloy wheels. It also offers LED lighting and a sport-style exhaust for enhanced aesthetics.
The Honda CG 125 retains its conventional setup with telescopic fork suspension, swing arm rear system, and standard tire configuration. Its simplicity ensures long-term durability and easy maintenance.
Final Outlook
While the Honda CG 125 continues to lead the 125cc market in Pakistan, the GPX Libre 125 brings fresh competition with modern styling and upgraded features. Buyers now have a clearer choice between traditional reliability and contemporary design innovation.
