With a pedigree rooted in Husqvarna’s storied history of off-road competition, this bike offers riders an exhilarating blend of performance and style, making it an ideal choice for new riders and seasoned enthusiasts alike.

The SM 125 is not just about performance; it’s also equipped with a range of features designed to enhance the riding experience. The tubular welded steel frame and welded steel swing arm provide a sturdy backbone, while the conventional front fork and rear single shock with adjustable preload deliver a plush ride, helping to absorb bumps in the road. Stopping power comes from single disc brakes at both the front and rear, ensuring confident braking performance. With an adjustable seat height of 880 mm (34.6 inches) and impressive ground clearance of 220 mm (8.7 inches), the SM 125 accommodates a variety of rider sizes and preferences, making it a versatile choice for urban adventurers. **
