KTM RC125 launched in India - Specs and Price

The much awaited KTM RC125 ABS is finally launched in India at a price of Rs. 1.47 Lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and the bookings have begun for the motorcycle across all 470 KTM showrooms in India. Deliveries will begin before the month ends.

Taking inspiration from the MotoGP machine KTM RC16, the new KTM RC125 ABS is available in two color options. Powering the new fully faired motorcycle is a single-cylinder, 4-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled, fuel injection, 124.7 cc engine that makes 14.5 PS and 12Nm of peak torque. The motor is mated to a 6-speed constant mesh transmission.The RC 125 gets the company's steel trellis frame, upside down forks by WP and a triple clamp handlebar as well and twin projector headlights with DRL.. Braking performance comes from a 300 mm disc up at the front and a 230 mm disc at the rear. Like the KTM 125 Duke, the RC 125 too gets a Bosch single-channel ABS and rear-lift mitigation (RLM) as standard.

The overall length of the new KTM RC125 ABS is 1,977 mm. The seat height and ground clearance measure 835 mm and 157 mm, respectively. The bike has a wheelbase of 1,341 mm. It has a 9.5-litre tank, while the dry weight is 154.2 kgs. The design is similar to the KTM RC390 and the motorcycle gets a sexy, edgy look which will sit well with the target audience. The KTM RC125 is about ₹17,000 more expensive than the KTM 125 Duke, but is substantially cheaper than the RC200.

Sumeet Narang, Vice President (Probiking) at Bajaj Auto Ltd. said "KTM Motorcycles are built to a purpose of winning performance and handling. It is no different with the RC125 which will provide a true KTM experience to the motorcycle enthusiast seeking to enter our Supersport world. It carries Moto GP genes from its sibling, the much celebrated RC16."
