KTM RC 125 Detailed Review

Design 9

Inspired by the RC8, the RC125 carries the similar design but has been toned down in terms of aggressiveness. A single-pod headlight cluster set-up with integrated LED indicators, curvy fuel tank and slimmer pillion seat gives the RC125 a unique design approach. The bike has been improved from the older version and is better in terms of aerodynamics as well. 

KTM RC125 is available in two colour options – 
Dark Galvano
Ceramic White

The design of the KTM RC125 will attract young buyers!

The RC125 gets LCD instrument cluster that is also seen on the KTM 250 Adventure, LED daytime running lights, stepped seat, low oil indicator, low fuel indicator, pillion seat, pillion grabrail, electric start, shift light, LED taillight, pass light and more.

  KTM: Youth's Dream Bike
  KTM is truly a dream bike for the youth of India. I’ve always wanted to own one, and I believe one day my dream will come true. Just thinking about it gives me motivation. For me, life feels incomplete without a KTM. The style, power, and attitude it brings are unmatched. Waiting for the day it becomes mine.

  When evaluating comfort is vibration and noise levels. It performs well in this regard.
