Review
The KTM 125 SMC R 2026 is a standout model in the Supermoto segment, known for its lightweight and superior performance. Its 124.99 cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine produces 15 PS of power and 11.5 Nm of torque. Equipped with Bosch EMS and Ride-by-Wire technology, it offers precise throttle responses. Power is effectively transmitted to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and a 520 X-Ring chain drive system. The chassis features a powder-coated steel trellis frame, complemented by a 43 mm WP APEX open cartridge front suspension and a WP APEX Split Piston rear suspension, both offering 230 mm of travel. The braking system consists of a 320 mm floating disc with a Bybre 2-piston radial caliper at the front and a 240 mm disc with a Bybre single-piston floating caliper at the rear. The 17-inch cast aluminum wheels are fitted with 110/70 R17 front and 150/60 R17 rear tires. With a seat height of 860 mm, ground clearance of 270 mm, and a wheelbase of 1453 mm, it provides a balanced riding experience. A 9-liter fuel tank and a fully fueled weight of 152 kg make it suitable for both urban commuting and track use.
