The KTM 125 Duke is a thrilling package that embodies the spirit of a first bike, yet offers a level of sophistication that will appeal to seasoned riders. Its 4-stroke single cylinder engine is a marvel, delivering smooth power delivery and a top-notch 15bhp, making it an absolute hoot to ride.
The engine’s punchy character is perfectly balanced by a refined six-speed gearbox, which provides seamless shifting and a reassuring lack of vibrations, even at high revs. This is an engine that will keep you grinning from ear to ear.
Built in partnership with Bajaj, the 125 Duke has been fine-tuned to deliver exceptional handling and a playful ride, thanks in part to its WP upside-down forks and adjustable rear shock. With its stiffer suspension, shorter wheelbase, and improved ground clearance, this bike is a true delight to carve through twisties and navigate urban streets.
The result is an unforgettable riding experience that will leave you craving more.
