The engine gives an output of 11 bhp at 7500 rpm which is quite good for a 125cc bike. Yamaha uses Yamaha Throttle Position Sensor (YTPS) technology that releases a powerful standing acceleration. The five speed transmission of gears offer a cruising experience with the excellent performance even in high speeds.
The new Gladiator SS has been given a great facelift coupled with designer colors and a pair of alloy wheels to hold a great fascination for everyone.

Front fairing has got a slight change with the addition of an air intake scoop. A new front fender has been added with a dual paint job which is complemented by the belly pan, black matt end can and of course, a new sticker job. Yamaha has incorporated a few more features such as aluminium handlebar ends, new T-clamp, aluminium retractable footpegs and a self lubricating o-chain. But the fuel cap should have been modelled with an aircraft type flush for the outright look.
