KTM 125 Duke 2018

KTM 125 Duke 2018

Even in its second generation, the KTM 125 Duke is still the highest-quality overall package in the 125cc naked bike class. Its looks stand out and its equipment is similar to that of larger and significantly more expensive KTM models. As is typical for KTM, the handling comes from the supermoto league, which makes the 125 Duke a real fun machine in tight corners. However, the Orange from Mattighofen should not relax too long on their laurels, because the competition is strong and is already beginning to overtake the ever-popular KTM 125 Duke in some aspects.

The new Honda Forza 125 is a clever further development of its predecessor, which did its job very well anyway. The electrically adjustable windshield can now be extended even higher, the traction control HSTC (Honda Selectable Torque Control) is on board as standard and the Euro5 engine is more powerful yet economical. In addition, the automatic start-stop system will save a few litres of fuel in the long run. The engineers have also thought of "little things", a modern USB port replaces the 12-volt plug. The fact that the appearance has been changed only very cautiously speaks for the elegant and at the same time modern design that the predecessor already had.
