The historic American brand UM Motorcycles, headquartered in Miami, Florida, unveiled its latest innovation for the European market at EICMA 2024: the Wynwood 125cc motorcycle. With a growing presence on the continent since 2017, UM has been adapting its models to meet the preferences and needs of European riders. To facilitate this, the brand established a design center in Turin and a commercial office in Milan, ensuring a swift and effective response to local market demands.
UM Motorcycles is known for producing small and medium-displacement motorcycles and scooters, ranging from 125cc to 400cc, and continues to innovate with new technologies, enhanced engines, and a reinforced warranty program. At EICMA, alongside other models, the brand introduced the Wynwood 125cc, a motorcycle designed for the urban segment, standing out for its attractive design and ease of handling, especially suited for those seeking a practical and safe option for daily city commutes.
Wynwood 125cc: Beauty in Simplicity
The Wynwood 125cc is a large-wheel urban motorcycle named after the famous artistic neighborhood in Miami, renowned for its vibrant street art scene. This model was designed to offer a simple and comfortable riding experience, ideal for beginners yet appealing to more experienced riders who seek easy maneuverability in city traffic.
With a 125cc, air-cooled, four-stroke single-cylinder engine delivering 7.2 kW at 8000 rpm, the Wynwood strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and performance. This engine provides confidence, even during demanding overtakes, while the 16-inch wheels, both front and rear, ensure excellent stability in urban traffic. The spacious flat deck enhances comfort, allowing easy access and a solid stance when parking in tight spaces.
The Wynwood is equipped with a CBS (Combined Braking System) that enhances safety by allowing only the front disc to be activated by pressing the right lever, while the left lever distributes braking force between the front and rear discs, preventing unwanted lock-ups. Weighing just 120 kg, the motorcycle is extremely easy to maneuver, even with the engine off, making it particularly attractive for female riders.
The model also includes full LED lighting for optimal visibility, a clear LCD display readable in all conditions, and under-seat storage with enough space for a jet helmet. For those needing more carrying capacity and protection, a 30-liter top box and a high windshield with integrated hand guards will be available as optional accessories.
The Wynwood 125cc will be available in three colors: Matte Blue, Matte Light Gray, and Matte Cool Gray.
