The pricing is at the higher side, but it's not overpriced. Similar to the R15, it also offers something extra for the price it demands, as compared to the common 125s and modern day 150s such as the fz, gixxer or hornet. The KTM duke 125 offers USD front forks, trellis frame, better swingarm, liquid cooling, ABS, bigger brakes and wider tyres; the power figures are similar to the 150s. The R15 on the other hand offers perimeter or deltabox frame, race swingarm, liquid cooling, slip and assist clutch, vva, duel headlamps, excellent gearbox (as the experts say), full fairing; here the power figures are similar to the 200s. So, the pricings are high but genuine.
The R15 is faster, I have ridden it so I know that, but this is an option for people who don't want the riding position of a faired bike but want the naked bike at the same time great mileage and safety and equipment.
Gixxer sf fi Abs @ 1.2 lakhs on road fun peppy stylish affordable full fairing bike ever 😎😍 Honors to NS 200 & Tvs Apache 200 4v & R15 👍 Seriously it hurts for KTM 125cc on road 1.4 lakhs 😑😐 WHY KTM ? atleast 1.2 lakhs on road would have made me happy

Single channel abs means if you press only rear brakes hard then the rear wheel will skid, right? Could you please demonstrate that in your next video.

Man now I would say that I saw a good review .... Not the best video editing but trust me ... Ur getting their ... Btw just wanted to know would it be a good bike for daily riding purpose ... ie- 60 km a day sort of ?? And how is it's comfort levels ??
It's a bike meant for daily rides and comfort is a Duke level, not as plush as some commuter bikes but for me it's okay. The light weight bike makes it harder to handle.
Rahul what is ten step seat adjustable mono sock suspension?is it related to seat heights adjustment or something else or if it is how much mm or inches can be reduce?please
I heard 125 hs higher compression ration than 200 even 390 also... pls can i explain in details...also that abs sensor on rear wheel... what is the use of that as its not dual channel abs... waiting for ur ans... and video also...
Sales guy told me that in front hard breaking it avoid lifting rear wheel... that mean sensor is working but not as abs... may be in future krm ll activate as abs... let see
Sandesh Shrestha i have test ridden the d125 and its power delivery is like the Gixxer 155 not like the r15 v3.r15 could go toe to toe with ns on acceleration but not the d125 and yhe d125 took almost 20 sec to reach 100 kph mark.so how am i wrong and r15 belongs to the supersport segment and the d125 is a naked like the ns,the automotive reviewers are getting paid to compare it with the r15 while it is priced more than the apache and ns200.Open ur eye man.
Hi Dude. Great job with the video. I am very new to Kolkata and planning to buy a duke 125. Which one according to you would be the best ktm service center in kolkata?
Hello sir....how good this 125 would be in hills especially with pillion....iam considering this bike to purchase but not sure about its pickup on hills with this engine displacement.....please reply sir
Hi. Please suggest, I want to purchase my first super bike. I liked Ducati supersport, triumph street triple RS and Suzuki GSX 750. I am only 5’4 in. Or any other bike which would be fun to ride and value for money. Also my age is 40. I want to ride regularly in Delhi. Waiting for your valuable response.
I would ask you to consider the Ducati Monster 821, same electronics as supersports but doesn't heat up that much in city and also comes with a seat lowering option. The RS I feel will be too high for you and the gsx 750 a bit too heavy.
No the Apache or the ns200 does not offer WP branded USD front forks or a WP monoshock. They lack a gear position indicator, service remainder, led indicators both of em are SOHC whereas the KTM engine is DOHC, no trellis frame that increases the handling n corner carving abilities, no aluminium swingarm, no fuel injection or ECU controlled ignition as standard, no ABS as standard and for the ns no fully digital instrument cluster and they don't get the 300mm 4 piston calipers from bybre. All this for an an increase of 20k is justifiable. And overall u get a premium European Brand name which both TVS and bajaj lack. So in sum total they don't offer better value maybe the RTR but not the NS. They just simply offer better performance

Yeah right...
Many thanks.

Only a drag race with the R15 can prove it's worth. But you're right, the equipment on offer is a steal for the money!
The R15 is faster, I have ridden it so I know that, but this is an option for people who don't want the riding position of a faired bike but want the naked bike at the same time great mileage and safety and equipment.
You say just the right things, best reviews bro
Many thanks! Do share it out!

Uuhh what?
Are you using Dainese riding jacket? Compare it with Alpine stars.
I don't have alpinestars equivalent jacket to compare.
This is the best 125 review i ever watched, thank you so much
What about pickup?? Can this climb a hill with 2 persons of 80kg effortlessly??
Comparing 125 and 250 which is better for city filtering and touring or which one can do both in a better way?
Do you think it is good for a beginner?
Yes, absolutely

It's a bike meant for daily rides and comfort is a Duke level, not as plush as some commuter bikes but for me it's okay. The light weight bike makes it harder to handle.
I mean, that the seat height can be reduced pls tell me sir
I love it. I am going to buy it......Nice video.You got some skills Bro
Sooperb video presentation keep it bro
Rahul what is ten step seat adjustable mono sock suspension?is it related to seat heights adjustment or something else or if it is how much mm or inches can be reduce?please
It makes the rear suspension harder or softer at hardest the bike seat height increases and softest it decreses. It also affects handling.
*What is the mileage in city and highway..? And also i have thought to buy Gixxer sf before..*
Is it launched in india??
What's the riding gear u used in this video?
Great Video Man 💪👍
Please show us the 0 to 60

Very good Detailed Review. Lots of information, Thank you bro.

I heard 125 hs higher compression ration than 200 even 390 also... pls can i explain in details...also that abs sensor on rear wheel... what is the use of that as its not dual channel abs... waiting for ur ans... and video also...
The ABS on rear wheel doesn't work, the sensor is there because it's the same wheel as used in the new 200 or 390.
Sales guy told me that in front hard breaking it avoid lifting rear wheel... that mean sensor is working but not as abs... may be in future krm ll activate as abs... let see
@@prashantpatil3216 rear wheel lift off means that is the same unit used in RS200
The comparison should be with the ns 200 than the r15.
bro power of.ns is way more then the r15
Sandesh Shrestha but the pricing of ns is smilar ro the duke 125,and the ns is a naked like the duke
ya but power delivery is too more then duke 125.
duke 125 and r15 is very closly mathced in terms of power.
some how I may be wrong
Sandesh Shrestha i have test ridden the d125 and its power delivery is like the Gixxer 155 not like the r15 v3.r15 could go toe to toe with ns on acceleration but not the d125 and yhe d125 took almost 20 sec to reach 100 kph mark.so how am i wrong and r15 belongs to the supersport segment and the d125 is a naked like the ns,the automotive reviewers are getting paid to compare it with the r15 while it is priced more than the apache and ns200.Open ur eye man.

Pls tell us 0-60, 0-100kmph time on Duke 125, proper talk about heat management, ciry and long distance comfort for both rider and pillion
How much mileage it will give ? It will be better as compare with Honda hornet 160 in terms of maintainance n fuel efficiency ?
All i needed to know before buying this pocket rocket, except the top speed though.
Great efforts man, thanks.
Company claimed 120 kmph, trying to do a top speed run soon.
Hello sir....how good this 125 would be in hills especially with pillion....iam considering this bike to purchase but not sure about its pickup on hills with this engine displacement.....please reply sir
I would recommend the new 200 ABS.
When will rc 125 will launch in india?
What hieght is good for this bike?? My hieght is 5.7.
Sir what is the orginal mileage ktm 125 can u tell me
is it good for touring?
Hi. Please suggest, I want to purchase my first super bike. I liked Ducati supersport, triumph street triple RS and Suzuki GSX 750. I am only 5’4 in.

Waiting for your valuable response.
I would ask you to consider the Ducati Monster 821, same electronics as supersports but doesn't heat up that much in city and also comes with a seat lowering option. The RS I feel will be too high for you and the gsx 750 a bit too heavy.
Ride With Rahul Thanks Rahul. I have checked with Triumph and they are reducing the seat height by 20mm. Also bit concerned about Ducati service.
Great video great content!!
Sir plz suggest i am totally confuse..Duke 125 vs apache rtr race edition (sleeper clutch) 4v 200 fi abs .plz suggest plz
If want power go for apache if want looks with limited power city rides go for duke 125
what about rc125
is there any chances to bring it in india?
I have no idea, but let's see.
Also adventure 125
Will the high compression ratio affect engine life and reliability.
Thus far all the KTMs have survived, the original Duke 200 is 6 years old now.
Do Duke 125 comepete with pulsar ns 200.....Gixxer...... hornet 160 ....r15 ?
Is it a worth buying over other 150-160 cc company bikes ?
Yes if you want power with mileage
0to60kmph and 0to100kmph figures
I will try in a future video.
Ktm duke 200 vs pulsar rs200 ?????
Plz plz
ripley
Seriously just wow
Thanks
Honest review 🔥bro next video pls add top speed and how many sec it will take to reach 100km/h👍
how much is service costs & maintenance ??
All KTM bikes including the 390 are very. very cheap to maintain.
Bro my height 5,3
Can i ride after adjust seat height ?
yes. you can also lower the preload to get a slightly lower seat height (Adjust the rear suspension)
My height 6 ft..is it besf for me?
Can someone tell me the servicing costs of this bike. Someone said 2000 per service which is quite high.
Can we do touring and long rides on 125?
what is the top speed that u achieved ??( not company claimed)
I saw 95 km/h but then I braked as my destination had arrived, but I think it can easily go to 120, I will test that next.
@@RideWithRahulOfficial haha bro seriously?? 125 cc se 120 ki speed ?? 😂
105- 106 max
Dude, please drive a bit more sensibly and have some concerns about others on the road 9:10
Can we do travelling of around 100km in a single go on duke 125
Yes, wouldn't be a problem
What's the top speed?
Enjoyable review man thanks

Is this worth to buy? Please tell me:)
should i buy this bike or not today its price is 1.5lakh or should i go for another
i m buying my first bike and using for clg
Mileage wise this is the bike to get, otherwise the Duke 200 makes more sense to me.

on road 1.6lakh price. which bike should i buy
Bro does this sound like an duke 200? Please reply
No bar end weights ??
Smaller engine not much vibes.
i now own fz fi. should i update to duke 125
Try the Duke 200 or 250 if you dont mind the lesser mileage

Why didn't you review duke 200?
Bro top speed??????

you can but it's way better to get the new 200 with ABS if touring is in your mind. 1.9 lac
@@RideWithRahulOfficial thank you
Is it comfortable for a rider with a hight of 5.5?

My only concern as the Duke 125 as my first bike, is that I might grow out of it really fast.
and what is the price
Top speed?
Wats d kmpl of ktm125 in economy? Please ans me fact. Bcz I am gonna buy it. Please anyone using this model
