The Aprilia Pegaso 125: a motorcycle that defies its 125cc designation with its bold, expert-like handling and performance.
Built for riders who crave more from their machine, the Pegaso boasts exceptional balance, turn-in, and stability, making it a joy to carve through twisty roads. Its upside-down front suspension provides excellent control, albeit with a slight initial stickiness due to its newness. Meanwhile, the rear suspension offers a comfortable ride without sacrificing stability.
The engine’s powervalve system brings a predictable yet potent surge of power between 6000 rpm and the rev limiter, leaving less-experienced riders in its wake. For those who appreciate a challenge, the Pegaso 125 is an exhilarating companion that rewards skillful handling with precise control.
