Overview

Introducing the 2011 KTM 125 EXC SixDays, a motorcycle that embodies the spirit of off-road adventure and competitive racing. Designed specifically for the enduro-offroad category, the 125 EXC SixDays is a testament to KTM's engineering excellence and commitment to performance. This model is specially crafted for riders looking to conquer challenging terrains and compete in rigorous events, making it a standout choice for both amateur and seasoned enthusiasts alike. With its signature orange, white, and black color scheme, the 125 EXC SixDays not only turns heads but also showcases its racing pedigree. At the heart of the 125 EXC SixDays is a robust single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 124.80 ccm, delivering a potent combination of power and agility. The engine features a high compression ratio of 12.5:1, allowing it to generate impressive torque across the rev range. With a 6-speed gearbox and a hydraulically-operated double disk wet clutch, riders can smoothly navigate through various terrains, whether they are tackling steep inclines or navigating tight corners. The bike's liquid cooling system ensures optimal performance, even during prolonged rides, while the Keihin PWK 36 S AG carburettor provides precise fuel delivery for an exhilarating ride. KTM's engineering prowess extends beyond the engine, with a central double-cradle steel frame that provides exceptional rigidity and stability. The WP USD 48 mm front suspension and the WP PDS rear shock absorber offer an impressive 185 mm of travel, ensuring that the 125 EXC SixDays can absorb the toughest bumps and uneven surfaces with ease. The braking system, featuring a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, delivers reliable stopping power, allowing riders to maintain control even in high-speed scenarios. With a lightweight design of just 97 kg, combined with a ground clearance of 390 mm, the bike is agile and easy to maneuver, making it perfect for navigating through challenging trails. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing in at only 97 kg, the 125 EXC SixDays is nimble and responsive, making it easy to handle on tight trails and technical sections.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine delivers robust power and torque, providing an exhilarating riding experience that makes hill climbs and obstacles feel achievable.
  • High-Quality Suspension: The advanced WP suspension system offers excellent travel and absorption, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain.
