Pros and Cons in comparison
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.
SWM SM 125 R 2018

Fans of 125cc supermotos who place a lot of value on great looks are in the right place with the SWM SM 125 R. The former Husqvarnas shine with pretty details like their red frame and definitely stand out from the crowd at the car park. You have to make concessions when it comes to responsiveness, which makes for high load change reactions in the apex of the bend. On the other hand, the SWM has the best brakes in the A1 supermoto segment, even if the CBS braking system prevents drifts on corner entry.
