KTM followed the success of the 125 Duke with its faired sibling, the RC 125 in India. The motorcycle gets the same aggressive styling as the other RC models including the projector headlamps accompanied by LED DRLs, turn indicators and tail lamp. It also gets the same step-seat design along with the fully-digital instrument console.
The KTM RC 125 is available in two colour options – Orange with White and Dark Galvano. The motorcycle uses a 124cc, single-cylinder, BS6-compliant engine. This motor produces 14.3bhp and 12Nm and comes mated to a six-speed gearbox. The RC 125 continues to ride on inverted forks up front and a monoshock at the rear. Meanwhile, braking is taken care of by a 300mm front disc with a Bybre radial caliper and a 230mm rear disc along with a single-piston Bybre caliper. The system is assisted by single-channel ABS.
In terms of competition, the KTM RC 125 goes head-on against the Yamaha R15 V3 as they both are closely priced.
The average of the RC 125 [2020] is 40 kmpl, as per the owners of the bike.

RC 125 review

The components used on the rc125 are the same ones used on its bigger siblings. The suspension and the braking setup remains the same as the bigger RC200. This includes a wp 43mm usd fork at the front and a mono-shock unit at the rear. Braking duties are taken care of by 300mm front and 230mm rear discs along with a single channel anti-lock braking system. It also gets segment-first premium radial tyres which are not offered on any 125cc bike in the country.

About ktm rc 125

Yagnik Barad
The rc 125 definitely isn't the most exciting Ktm you'll experience in terms of sheer power delivery or acceleration, but the humble performance and smooth, linear power delivery are exactly what make it a great beginner sports bike. If you're expecting Ktm level of performance, then you need to look elsewhere. You may consider it for long rides only if you like calm riding. The engine feels smooth both in the city and on the highway, and this makes for a fatigue-free ride. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity.

Good bike for beginners.

Overall good bike, nice looking, mileage is also good around 50 km/l but cost is a bit high compared to its competitors but for the branding and its experience is manageable. Overall a good bike for students and city rides and for beginners and the cost of the parts are bit high and there is no compromise in quality.
