Aprilia SX 125 Supermoto 2018

Aprilia SX 125 Supermoto 2018

Aprilia's SX 125 is a very sporty supermoto that does justice to Aprilia's long 125cc history. Its 15 hp single-cylinder inspires with its balanced character with high suitability for everyday use, but at the same time provides a lot of fun under the helmet. The biggest advantage it has over the competition is its ABS system, which only acts on the front wheel and was installed instead of a CBS system. This makes it possible to conjure up beautiful drifts on the asphalt, as befits a true supermoto.

For supersport fans in the A1 class, the Aprilia RS 125 is definitely a hot candidate. Thanks to its high-quality chassis and well thought-out suspension set-up, it appears stable in every situation and rewards with higher cornering speed than the competition. Its looks are reminiscent of its big sister RSV4, because if you overlook the rear tyre, there is a serious risk of confusion! Compared to its V4 sister, however, the RS125 scores with a very comfortable riding position that keeps wrist pain to a minimum in everyday use.
