Overview
Introducing the 2008 Hyosung RX 125, a compact and spirited enduro-offroad motorcycle designed for both newcomers and seasoned riders seeking an agile machine that can tackle diverse terrains. Positioned competitively in the entry-level segment, the RX 125 is perfect for urban commuting as well as weekend adventures in the wild. With its lightweight construction and robust design, this motorcycle invites riders to explore the boundaries of their riding skills, making it a fantastic choice for those looking to dive into the world of off-road riding without the intimidation of larger bikes. At the heart of the RX 125 lies a peppy 124.8 cc single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, which delivers a torque of 12.20 Nm at a spirited 8,000 RPM. With a top speed of 115 km/h (71.5 mph), this bike is not just a slouch in the city; it offers enough power to take you off the beaten path and onto rugged trails. The liquid-cooled engine is complemented by a Dell carburetor, ensuring a smooth and responsive throttle, while the 12.5:1 compression ratio provides an exhilarating punch as you twist the grip. The RX 125’s lightweight nature, at just 116 kg (255.7 lbs), allows for nimble handling and impressive cornering capabilities, making it an engaging ride whether you're cruising on asphalt or navigating through dirt. Hyosung has equipped the RX 125 with features that enhance both performance and rider comfort. The robust steel frame with a double beam design ensures stability and durability, while the advanced suspension setup—featuring 260 mm of front travel and 270 mm of rear travel—absorbs bumps and rough terrain with ease. The motorcycle's braking system incorporates a single disc setup with floating clamps, providing responsive stopping power that instills confidence in various riding conditions. The essential multifunctional dashboard keeps riders informed, while the kickstarter adds a touch of classic charm to this modern machine. **
