KTM 125 The Favorit of Beginners - 5 years after its arrival on the market 125, KTM goes to version 2.0 of his little Duke. The program of this evolution of the best roadster on the market today: LED, TFT, Bluetooth, and a single cylinder of 15 hp that passes the Euro 4 standard.
With its 15-horse engine at the top of the 125 class, its seductive look and its colors as well as its dynamic qualities, the Duke 125 makes the happiness of the B licenses. Top-of-the-range model decidedly fun it adapts in 2017 to the new Euro 4 anti-pollution standard, through a reworking of its injection feed and its exhaust system. It still delivers the same maximum power, but today 500 laps lower than before. Handlebar in hands this engine is a treat, a referral for the category.
This new Duke 125 also presents a new look, more Super Duke 1290 than ever! We appreciate its new LED daylight headlamp, type of lights also used in the position light. More angular than before, the unpublished lines of this bow are part of the extension of the new tank of 13.4 liters (+2.4 liters), which should ensure the Duke 125 2017 an autonomy close to 400 km. Front fenders, radiator scoops, shoe pads, foot plates, pilot and passenger seat, the exhaust outlet and rear fairing also evolve.
Finally, the instrumentation is now entrusted to a color TFT block, certainly a bulky hair but more legible. The steel lattice frame, combined with a new buckle, and the aluminum swingarm ensure first-class dynamic qualities.
We note the disappearance of the passenger handles, in favor of spaces developed under the hull. In terms of suspensions, the KTM Duke 125 2017 retains its inverted fork 43 mm tubes, but it would have been revisited. As for braking, based on a large 300 mm front disc capped by its radial piston 4-piston caliper, it remains intact. Side weight, the small katoche is overweight, its dry weight is indeed from 127 kg to 137 kg.
