Overview

Introducing the 2022 KTM 125 SX, a standout contender in the realm of enduro-offroad motorcycles, designed for both aspiring racers and seasoned riders seeking a lightweight and agile machine. Priced at an attractive MSRP of $7,499, this model encapsulates KTM's commitment to performance and innovation, making it an ideal choice for those who crave adventure on rugged terrains. With its striking white, orange, and blue color scheme, the 125 SX is not only built for function but also for flair, ensuring you turn heads wherever your journey takes you. At the heart of the KTM 125 SX lies a robust 124.8 ccm engine that pumps out a spirited 15.0 horsepower via a sophisticated fuel injection system. The liquid-cooled powerplant is paired with a precise 6-speed gearbox, delivering smooth and responsive performance—perfect for navigating tight trails and open fields alike. With a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.5 mm, the engine offers an exhilarating power-to-weight ratio of 0.1714 HP/kg, ensuring that each twist of the throttle translates into an adrenaline-pumping ride. The nimble handling is further enhanced by a central double-cradle-type steel frame and a plush WP XACT suspension system that features 310 mm of front travel and 300 mm of rear travel, allowing riders to tackle obstacles with confidence and ease. The KTM 125 SX is packed with features that elevate the riding experience, including a multi-plate Brembo hydraulic clutch that offers precise engagement and control, even in the most challenging conditions. The braking system, equipped with a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, ensures reliable stopping power, while the generous ground clearance of 375 mm allows for aggressive maneuvering over rough terrain. With a seat height of 950 mm, the bike caters to riders who prefer a commanding view of the trail ahead. Plus, the kick-start mechanism adds a touch of nostalgia while keeping the bike lightweight and straightforward. **
