KTM 125 Duke 2016

For 16-year-olds and B-111 owners, the KTM 125 Duke is a blessing because it is not a small moped brand, but a real motorbike brand with sporty prestige and a high coolness factor. Motorcyclists who have outgrown school age will miss performance and are more likely to use the smallest Duke for very short everyday trips, if at all. I would then rather prefer a scooter, which also has storage space.

Extremely manoeuvrable

high-quality equipment

power parts for individualisation

little comfort

modest performance

The NMAX 125 is and remains an uncomplicated scooter that works great - and now looks even snazzier. Just sit on it, ride off and feel good. Thanks to its low weight, it remains very nimble in curves, and manoeuvring in the city is child's play. The driving performance is okay, the chassis offers sufficient comfort and the braking system seems surprisingly mature. The cargo compartment under the seat cannot compete with the X-Max 125, but it offers a surprising amount of space compared to the direct competition. In the end, the moderate price is also fully justified.

Cool look

high-quality workmanship

reasonable performance

good brakes with ABS as standard

harmonious handling

low weight

decent storage space under the seat

reasonable price.

somewhat high step-through

low windscreen
