Overview

Introducing the 2023 KTM SX 125, a formidable entry in the super motard category that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of adrenaline-fueled adventure and performance. Known for its distinctive orange and black livery, the SX 125 is not just a bike; it's a statement for young riders and enthusiasts looking to carve their path on both the track and the street. With its lightweight design and agile handling characteristics, this motorcycle is designed for those who crave the thrill of two wheels and the freedom of the open road. At the heart of the SX 125 is a robust yet nimble 124.8 ccm engine that delivers a peppy 15.0 HP at a thrilling 10,000 RPM, ensuring that acceleration is both responsive and exhilarating. With a torque output of 11.2 Nm at 8,000 RPM, the bike offers a satisfying punch off the line, making it perfect for urban commuting or spirited rides on twisty roads. The 6-speed gearbox provides seamless shifting, while the advanced ECU electronics and liquid cooling ensure optimal performance, even in demanding conditions. The bike's fuel efficiency is impressive, boasting a consumption rate of just 2.60 litres per 100 km, which means you can ride longer and more often without frequent stops at the pump. The SX 125 is loaded with features that enhance both safety and riding pleasure. Its twin-tube steel frame is designed for durability, while the upside-down front fork with Ø 41 mm stanchions offers exceptional front-end stability and control. The single disc brakes—300 mm at the front and 220 mm at the rear—provide reliable stopping power, ensuring that you can confidently handle any situation that comes your way. With a seat height of 880 mm, the bike suits a variety of riders, and the electric starter adds a modern touch for hassle-free ignition. Available in striking colors such as Red Flash, Yellow Stark, and Silver Alien, the SX 125 allows riders to express their individuality on the road. **
