Macbor continues its expansion within the 125 cc motorcycle segment with a proposal that marks a before and after in its catalog. The new Shifter 125 EVO 2026 arrives with the clear intention of leading the naked sports market for the A1 and validated B license, combining its own design, cutting-edge technology and an engine that borders on the legal power limit in the category.
Manufactured under the quality standards that the Spanish brand has been consolidating in recent years, this new Shifter inherits the philosophy of models such as the Rockster or the Montana, but with a markedly urban, modern and youthful identity. It will be marketed starting next spring, positioning itself as the new benchmark within Macbor’s 125 range thanks to its balance between performance, equipment and style.
Macbor Shifter 125 EVO 2026 engine
The heart of the Macbor Shifter 125 EVO 2026 is a 4-stroke, 4-valve, double overhead camshaft (DOHC) single-cylinder engine, liquid-cooled and equipped with a balance shaft, which guarantees smooth operation much higher than the segment average. With a displacement of 124.8 cc, it develops 11 kW (14.7 HP) at 9,500 rpm, the maximum power allowed by law on 125 cc motorcycles, and a torque of 11.5 Nm at 7,000 rpm.
These figures translate into a lively and progressive response, ideal both for moving with agility in the city and for enjoying the open road. The electronic fuel injection (EFI) optimizes consumption and power delivery, while the compression ratio of 12.3:1 and the internal dimensions of 54 x 54.58 mm allow a balanced character between strength and stretch.
The gearbox is a 6-speed manual, precise and well-stepped, accompanied by a secondary chain transmission. Thanks to its low weight – just 146 kg empty – the Shifter 125 EVO offers brilliant acceleration and competitive top speed, all with a smoothness and refinement rare in its category.
Chassis, suspensions and brakes of the Macbor Shifter 125 EVO 2026
Macbor has designed for this Shifter 125 EVO 2026 a compact, agile cycle part perfectly adapted to urban and recreational use. The tubular structure frame offers rigidity and stability, complemented by a set of sporty suspensions:
- 37 mm inverted hydraulic fork in the front axle, which provides firmness and precision in curves.
- Hydraulic rear monoshock adjustable in preload, which allows the motorcycle to be adapted to the weight of the rider or the load conditions.
The balance between comfort and sportiness is well achieved, providing a feeling of total control even on uneven asphalt or in more dynamic driving.
Regarding the braking system, the Shifter is equipped with two large discs:
- 260 mm front with double piston caliper.
- 240 mm rear with single-piston floating caliper.
Both work together with a dual-channel ABS system, guaranteeing powerful, progressive and safe braking in any circumstance.
The 17-inch wheels mount tubeless tires measuring 110/70 at the front and 140/60 at the rear, a combination that ensures good tread and stability both on straight lines and on steeper inclines.
Technology and equipment of the Macbor Shifter 125 EVO 2026

The lighting is Full LED in all elements – headlight, turn signals and taillight -, improving visibility and providing a high-level aesthetic touch. But the equipment goes much further:
- Keyless system (keyless start) for greater convenience.
- Integrated front camera, a first in its category, which allows you to record journeys or use it as a security camera.
- Double USB charging socket (USB-A and Type C) to keep your cell phone or devices always ready.
- TPMS tire pressure monitoring system, which alerts of any pressure variation in real time.
- Traction control (TCS) that complements ABS and increases safety during acceleration on slippery surfaces.
With this technological arsenal, the Shifter 125 EVO 2026 is positioned as one of the most advanced and complete nakeds in its class, ideal for those looking for a modern, safe and connected 125.
