Pros and Cons in comparison

Aprilia SX 125 2024

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.

KTM 125 Duke 2024

Even in the Euro 5 version, the KTM Duke 125 is the motorbike to beat in the A1 class. Superior equipment, potent engine, good chassis, great display and fun Supermoto mode make not only the heart of 16-year-olds beat faster. The looks polarise, but let the observer clearly recognise the smallest Duke as such. The Duke 125 is not cheap, but it is worth the price.

Optics not to everyone's taste
