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 Super Duke GT definitely focuses on the "sport" in the sport tourer, but it can nevertheless also be used passably in touring mode. From the chassis to the seat, it is clearly on the harder side, but it makes up for this with great ergonomics, plenty of space in the saddle and lush factory equipment. Sporty riders in particular will enjoy the powerful engine and the precise, smooth handling. It may not be suitable for comfort-conscious cruisers, but those who can do without a bit of cosiness and in return enjoy the radical character will have no problem going on long journeys with it. The important points, such as sufficient range, wind protection and payload, are also fulfilled.
