The KTM RC125 could be a great beginner sportbike for younger riders making their way into the world of sport riding. While the handling packaging is excellent and friendly, the lack of performance will lead a lot of riders to outgrow the RC 125 really. And the fact that you can get the more powerful and equally great handling Yamaha R15 V4 for almost the same price deflates this baby KTM’s proposition.

Price: KTM RC 125 is available in two colours and can be purchased for Rs 1,89,542 (ex-showroom Delhi).
Design: The iconic twin-projector headlight is replaced by a broad halogen headlight in the last updated RC 125. The bike also comes with fairing-mounted DRLs and LED indicators. The side fairing, in conjunction with a curved radiator, directs hot air away from the rider's legs, making rides more comfortable during slow moving traffic.
Features: The new RC 125 gets a LCD instrument console, borrowed from 250 Adventure. It displays bits like speed, engine RPM, trip-meter/odometer readings, real-time mileage, distance-to-empty and average speed, along with the general trove of information. The display is quite informative, however, it misses out on Bluetooth connectivity. The bike also skimps on the LED headlight unit, which its larger siblings come with. Hence, the RC 125 comes with a halogen headlight, while the tail lamp and blinkers continue to be LED units.
Engine: KTM RC 125 is powered by a single-cylinder, 124.7 cc, fuel-injected, liquid-cooled engine, which churns out 14.5PS and 12Nm. The motor comes paired with a 6-speed transmission and the bike gets a 13.7 litre fuel tank. The bike is put together on a tubular split-trellis frame, which is suspended on a 43mm front USD fork and 10-step-preload-adjustable monoshock at the rear (both being WP Apex units). Braking is handled via a 320mm disc with radial calliper up front and 230mm rear disc with a floating calliper setup, with single-channel ABS coming as standard. The bike rolls on 17 inch alloy wheels, which come wrapped in 110-section (front) and 150-section (rear) tubeless MRF tyres. The bike weighs 160kg (kerb) and has 835mm seat height, along with 158mm ground clearance.
Rivals: The 2022 KTM RC 125 goes up against the likes of the Yamaha R15 V4. In terms of hardware, the two supersport machines are on par with each other. The R15 V4 is a better performer, given its larger 155cc mill with more power on tap. At a price similar to RC 125, you could also consider buying the Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, Jawa and the Royal Enfield Classic 350.
Variants: The RC 125 is offered as a single standard variant, with two paint schemes (Silver & Black).
