Blimey Chris that bike sure has got some grunt. Quickest 125 I have seen. I think you enjoyed that ride a bit to much lol. As always great video the audio is spot on now.
Glad I bought mine last September, lots of parts still on CMPO so let’s hope they continue to support. Just had a lextek stainless silencer installed, sounds amazing.
Great video, I have one of these and the only thing I'll correct you on is that the rear tail lights although their appearance is LED like, they are not. They use three 2723 2.3W 12V OSRAM W2 bulbs. I know because I've had the take the entire tail end of twice to replace them. Hope this helps someone.
What a great review ,thank you 👍 👍 ! Watching this in 2024 and UM are selling this bike again . Considering getting a new one so do you have any updates on the parts situation currently please ? Are they still greatly overpriced and what about servicing ;easy for most workshops ??? Thanks a lot !
@@Ridingreviews Thanks for taking the time to reply! Thats a shame. I was looking to buy but will probably go for a Sym nht 125 now. I know it's slow but sure it will be pretty reliable. Thanks again.
The only other bikes I know of with that engine which are still being distributed in the UK is the Mondial. They have the same Aprillia engine. Problem it they only make sexy bikes which don't even have the ability to take a pillion on some of them and the ones that do like the HPS have a seat that seems to slant down towards the rear wheel as if it intends to help your passenger slide to their death under the rear wheel. Hopefully someone will take on distribution. I wanted one of these myself.
Picked up one of the last 3 of the Adventure TT version of this over a year ago. Basically these 2 bikes are Derbi Terra with EFI instead. This Engine with full 15bhp was the main reason for the purchase. Fuel mapped is such that close to rev limiter gear changes keeps it in the power band above 5k rpm, however if next gear starts below 5k rpm it bogs down. I wish these could be remapped ... this Euro 4 compliance mapping is the only downer I've found on it but for city riders this should not be a problem. I live rural so it's a bit annoying. Revs really well and freely after break-in and the difference is quite obvious. Did the hard break-in instead of the pottering around at 30-50 and constant rpm, with two oil and filter changes at 200 and then at 500 miles. Reaches 70mph without any struggle as such but tops of then. Sad to see the end of this bike in UK.
Thank you for contributing to my channel i wish they weren't going to stop them they are a greate bit of kit im sure someone are going to bring something out with that engine in it
I have one, but Malaguti Dune X. With USB in the dashboard. Great Bike, but the factory chain is garbage. I've put a DID chain in it, and changed front sprocket to 14 teeth, instead of 13. Almost 10.000 km in the click. According to GPS, it can go about 106 km/h on flat road, without wind.
Thanks for pointing this out .. as Dune Black 125 is identical bike that I have so at least parts will be available from europe. Need pannier racks that UM had run out long time ago!
Hi, found the classic scrambler of this made. it's a second hand for £1250 but not sure yet if I should pull the trigger specially with UM pulling out and parts could be an issue.. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated.. New subscriber
Aslong as he has serviced them when they were suppost to i would do it other bikes in the uk have that engine and if you carnt get parts from the uk order from america
@@Ridingreviews Thank you very much for the quick response, really appreciate it. The power of this particular engine is what I like most but as a short rider 5.6" I feel that my options are limited. Any recommended bikes with that engine please?
Just like you said, it seems that the big sprocket is definitely hampering the performance of this bike, I haven't seen other UM bikes but comparing other 125cc bike, the 0-70(max for the sprocket) is very fast, I wonder how much the acceleration would go down if a smaller sprocket is installed.
Yo, i also have that bike but here in Philippines it's a UM Adventure 150cc ... The only problem is it doesn't have the spare parts for replacing if ever there's faulty... Do you know any supplier that has parts for this bike particularly... Thanks man! Ride safe always!
Is possible order one for me ? I'm from London. It is exactly the same bike like Malaguti dune 125 ? If so, what about Engine, is the same ? Cuz looks exactly the same parts should be the same as well ? I really want this bike ! Do you have website ? I can see on UM page price for this bike is 2399£. It's the real price ?
Hi there, I was thinking of buying this bike in portugal (where i live) but am afraid that it is too tall. Havent tried it yet. How tall are you, knowing that you can flatfoot it (in cm please)
@@Ridingreviews thank you for replying. I was thinking of that too, only problem is that i wanted the side cases as well and you can't put that on the scrambler
Blimey Chris that bike sure has got some grunt. Quickest 125 I have seen. I think you enjoyed that ride a bit to much lol. As always great video the audio is spot on now.
I do like that bike but i like the um scrabeler better same engine just a little bit more stabilaty thank you for your support

does it go any better with that exhaust
Seemed a tad bit quicker on my return from the garage, I don’t get up to any speed on my daily commute so it’s all about the sound 😬
This is exactly Malaguti dune 125 ? So Parts should be the same ?

thanks for the correction I try to get all info correct but it doesn't always work
@@Ridingreviews yeah no worries, as I said great video and I was quite happy to see one of my bike 😀

@@Ridingreviews Thanks for your reply. Do you offer or do you know anyone who can remap these bikes?
@@amalik291 sorry i dont know anyone if we need a map we have to grt it from china

um is an American company this makes the parts really expensive
Didn't realise UM leaving UK. I've had the Scrambler S and the Vegas and enjoyed both. Disappointing , because the bikes look and ride great.
I agree they are greate india had the same issue we are having
Hi, great video 👍 do you have any recommendations for if I did want to downsize the rear sprocket what size to downsize it to? Thanks
Try and reduce by 3 teeth that should help alot
Is this the same bike as malaguti dune 125?
I just had a look i think it is
Thanks for pointing this out .. as Dune Black 125 is identical bike that I have so at least parts will be available from europe. Need pannier racks that UM had run out long time ago!
@@Ridingreviews I am interested in the maximum speed of both models. Malaguti 106km/h in road test and Um about 120km/h
@@Krzychu.Szyszunia i dont know the malaguti the um will do 120kms
This bike is the old spanish bike, Derbi terra.

@@Ziadalabbady the scrambler is has a fairly low seat I think for the shorter person that is probably going to be your best bet
@@Ridingreviews Again, thank you very much mate.
@@Ziadalabbady no problem

I think with a standard 55 tooth sprocket would get to 80 with say lxr exceloration
