CSC Wolf 125: Manufacturing Date Delayed
The MUCH-anticipated introduction of the CSC Wolf 125 has been delayed – stay tuned for updates in 2025!
CSC Motorcycles has been delivering “Fun You Can Afford” for over a decade. There has never been a motorcycle model that promised more AFFORDABLE FUN than the new CSC Wolf 125.
This past Spring, CSC announced that they had begun the certification process for this new model. This small, 125cc motorcycle (the Zonsen “Cub” or “Yemi”) has been sold in other markets around the world for nearly two years. The introduction of the “CSC Wolf” to North America was planned as a 2025 model. But first, the new motorcycle needed to pass the DOT, EPA, and CARB certification processes – which are long and expensive.
If you follow this channel, you have seen more and more content leading up to the actual introduction of the 2025 CSC Wolf 125. This includes the first and only offroad content where I put the Wolf to the test in the mountains and on remote back roads in Arizona.
After many months, the tedious testing processes were nearly complete. In the meantime, CSC built the website for the new Wolf 125 and was fielding DOZENS of inquiries per day from enthusiastic, prospective buyers – including many who wanted to pre-order multiple motorcycles.
Just as CSC Motorcycles was ready to begin accepting deposits on the first Wolf 125’s to be delivered later this Fall, they were informed of a halt to manufacturing.
Besides technical, mechanical, and environmental standards, the CSC Wolf and the Zonsen Yemi/Cub are also subject to DESIGN standards. Just last week, reps from Zonsen notified CSC Motorcycles that the MUFFLER on the Wolf/Cub/Yemi violates the design patent on the Honda Trail CT125 and Super Cub.
The worldwide sales of this model were STOPPED via a court order in Thailand. (Thailand is where the Honda CT125 and Super Cub are manufactured.)
After a massive investment of time and money, the introduction of the CSC Wolf 125 is delayed until the muffler is redesigned and ready for manufacture. At that point, CSC Motorcycles must submit the new design for recertification of the emissions tests.
How long will the redesign and recertification processes take? No one knows!
Best case – early in 2025. Both the design and certification timelines are beyond the control of CSC Motorcycles. To say this is a disappointment is an understatement. THOUSANDS of motorcycle riders have been watching and waiting for the new Wolf 125. We will all need to wait a little longer!
But – what if you are ready NOW for an economical and affordable motorcycle?
Your BEST alternative is the same as it has been for several years. CSC Motorcycles still sells the TT250 Enduro and the SG250 Café Racer. These two models share the same 229cc, air-cooled motor. CSC has thousands of satisfied customers who own and love these dependable models. BOTH of these 2024 models are IN STOCK NOW. BOTH models are for sale on the CSC Motorcycles website for $1,995 and $2,495, respectively.
