2018 Duke 125

The 125 DUKE is not a toy. It is a real motorcycle, the best in its category and better equipped than some with a larger cylinder capacity. Already in 2013 it was the first 125 to incorporate ABS as standard and now it continues to set the benchmark with its front led optics, digital instrumentation and an optional integrated connectivity system. And above all, its refined single cylinder 4T engine with electronic injection and 6-speed gearbox combines best-in-class performance with a very restrained thirst, except for adventure. There is no better place to start.

Description

The 125 DUKE is not a toy. It is a real motorcycle, the best in its category and better equipped than some with a larger cylinder capacity. Already in 2013 it was the first 125 to incorporate ABS as standard and now it continues to set the benchmark with its front led optics, digital instrumentation and an optional integrated connectivity system. And above all, its refined single-cylinder 4T engine with electronic injection and 6-speed gearbox combines best-in-class performance with a contained thirst, except for adventure. There is no better place to start.

The advanced single cylinder double overhead camshaft of the 125 DUKE is yet another example of KTM’s commitment to technical evolution.

The advanced cycle part of the KTM 125 DUKE, with its characteristic and lightweight steel multi-tube chassis, makes this bike the best corner negotiator. Grouped masses close to the center of gravity maximize maneuverability and precision … and perfectly prepare the 125 DUKE for peak slalom, day and day too.

The KTM 125 DUKE offers a large amount of space and freedom of movement, with ergonomics suitable both for a relaxed ride alone or in pairs, and to be used thoroughly when cornering. Unbeatable operation and large contact surfaces guarantee optimum control and the best riding feel, with an upright and relaxed seating position that allows perfect vision at any time.

The first thing you will see is this led front lens. This aggressive frontal. This predatory presence. When you get closer, you see its steel tank and the different pieces in high quality cast iron. And finally you realize that the design and manufacture of this bike border on excellence. Like the KTM 1290 SUPER DUKE R, which this bike is so proud to be its little sister to. Or is it the other way around?

This 125 DUKE incorporates a host of highly sophisticated electronics. The great variety of high technology that it incorporates reflects the high quality standards of the KTM 125 Duke.
