KTM RC 125 India Launch offers enthusiasts and beginner sport riders something fun to ride yet approachable and friendly at the same time

KTM, which is reportedly gearing to launch RC125 in India next week, is finally here! Its sibling 125 Duke comes at an asking price of Rs 1.30 lakh after a recent price hike of Rs 5,000. In terms of competition, the RC125 will be directly pitted against Yamaha YZF-R15 V3.0 Just so you know YZF-R15 V3.0 retails in Indian market at a price of Rs 1.39 lakh. It sports a fresh new look in 2 exciting colour options that further highlight its Supersport origins. Twin Projector headlights with DRL and ABS by BOSCH make the RC 125 a complete package.

KTM RC 125 is a feature-packed, fully faired bike. It comes equipped with projector headlamp (twin-pod), LED tail lamps and blinkers, and digital instrument cluster. In terms of mechanical underpinning, RC125 will come with trellis frame, similar to the one on 125 Duke. However, the styling and ergonomics are going to be completely different on RC125. Compared to the Duke’s upright stance, RC125 will have a forward-leaning riding posture. KTM has achieved this different posture on RC125 by the use of clip-on handlebar.
