Pros and Cons in comparison

Zero FXE 2023

The Zero FXE surprised in the test on the supermoto track and showed that the FXE definitely has sporty potential. Its precisely controllable torque, easy handling and good suitability for everyday use were convincing. Despite weaknesses such as the limited maximum lean angle due to the side stand and the limited range, the Zero FXE left a positive overall impression.

Very good engine dosing

Carefree and accessible riding experience

Bike feels light and nimble

No noise and no exhaust fumes => enables use even where petrol engines are not welcome

Direct handling

Side stand limits lean angle clearance

add-on parts and controls do not appear to be of high enough quality

poor price/performance ratio

charging process takes too long in practice

KTM 125 Duke 2022

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.

lively engine

super-agile handling

Supermoto mode as standard

mature chassis

top brakes

sharp TFT display

connectivity (optional)

Optics not to everyone's taste

price high for a 125cc bike
