CFMoto is a relatively unknown brand to the Vietnamese market, but that’s about to change. Established in 1989, CFMoto is a Chinese manufacturer of engines, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, four-wheelers, and yachts.
Entering the Vietnamese market, CFMoto has introduced the Papio 125 XO2, a small-displacement manual clutch motorcycle. This model boasts a unique and sporty design that is sure to turn heads.
The Papio 125 XO2 features a LED projector headlight with two symmetrically placed bulbs. One side of the headlight forms an “X” while the other forms an “O”. Accompanying the headlights is a daytime running light in the shape of an inverted V, along with turn signals integrated into the sides.

The Papio 125 XO2 is a compact manual clutch motorcycle with dimensions of 1970 x 760 x 1,075 mm and a lightweight build of just 120 kg. With a ground clearance of 150 mm, this bike can easily navigate potholes and rough terrain without scraping the underside. Its tight turning radius makes maneuvering in tight spaces a breeze.
At the heart of this bike is a fuel-injected engine that delivers a maximum power of 9.5kW at 7,500 rpm and a peak torque of 8.2 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The air-cooled engine is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. According to CFMoto, the Papio 125 XO2 can accelerate from 0-50 km/h in approximately 5 seconds and has a fuel consumption rate of 2.5 liters per 100 km in city driving.
