2014 KTM RC 125 Features and Benefits:

Racing DNA:

Pillion Ride Seat

In order to make no compromises in terms of supersport looks the KTM engineers integrated the pillion seat into the bodywork lines so that it resembles a real racing bike tail, yet still ensures excellent comfort for the passenger.

Brakes

KTM developed in cooperation with Brembo a powerful and easy to control brake-system which allows the rider to be always in control of the RC. A four piston radially bolted caliper in combination with a single brake disk (300mm diameter) in the front and a single piston floating caliper with a single brake disk (230mm diameter) for the rear wheel guarantee excellent braking response in all situations.

Engine

The state-of-the-art, liquid cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke 125ccm engine with twin overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic fuel injection, provides outstanding power and thanks to the balancer shaft, delivers the highest levels of smoothness. The engine is equipped with an electric starter powered by a 12V/6Ah battery and it effortlessly achieves its peak power of 11 kW (15 hp).

Triple Clamps

The brand new forged aluminum triple clamps are eye-catchers and together with the clip on handlebars guarantee a pure supersport racing feeling.

Outstanding Style:

Bodywork

The brand new bodywork, footrests and pedals don't just provide a unique supersport look but also help the RC to master extreme cornering by allowing a greater leaning angle.

Integrated Blinkers

As a special feature the RC incorporates blinkers into the mirror structure, which not only looks sporty but also contributes to the perfect aerodynamics.

Headlight

Brand new twin headlight, opening a new direction for KTM style and perfectly matching with the racing supersport look of RC.

Thin Tail

Fitting perfectly into the pure racing look the number plate holder rounds KTM’s high performance bike off.

Ergonomics:

Fuel Tank

A brand new steel fuel tank with 9,5l capacity (including 1,5l reserve) has been developed for the RC, perfectly matching the supersport style and vehicle design, together with rider ergonomics. Thanks to the economic engine the RC achieves even in the sportiest manner of riding a considerable range.

Wind Shield

The advanced design wind shield in combination with the aerodynamic optimized motorcycle front ensure an incredible wind protection for rider’s chest and arms.

Seat

The two-part seat offers first class supersport ergonomics with perfect support for rider and pillion. With a seat height of 820mm enables the rider to have a secure stand while also being high enough for sporty use and real big-bike feeling.

Handle Bar

Brand new clip on handlebars and switches contribute to a sporty and aggressive riding position combined with advanced control.

Safety:

Silencer

The compact underbelly, three-chamber silencer is positioned close to the bike's overall centre of gravity. This aids the centralisation of mass and prevents from accidental contact with both the rider's and passenger's legs.

A1 License

With a maximum power of 11kW (15hp) the RC125 is right at the limit of the A1 driver´s license, making the new KTM RC125 the sportiest option for A1 riders.

Standard ABS

With ABS equipped as standard, every RC 125 demonstrates KTM's commitment to safety even in the small capacity class. As always the RC 125 is Ready to Race with the option to disengage the ABS system.

Wheels

Equally lightweight as they are stable, the 17in orange painted cast light alloy wheels sized 110 mm wide at the front and an impressive 150 mm at the rear. The tyres impress with tremendous grip in both wet and dry conditions, as well as providing supreme durability.

Solid Technology:

Instrument

The 100% digital LCD display has everything you could expect from a state of the art KTM motorcycle, including engaged gear, fuel gauge and service reminder information. Just like supersport racing machines an RPM alert indicates when is the best moment for shifting up.

Frame

Visually similar to the lightweight and approved Duke steel trellis frame, the orange painted frame has been modified to better fit the supersport ergonomics and dynamics. The increase of the steering head angle to 66,5 degree resulted in a shorter trail, shorter wheelbase and increased ground clearance. All these modifications release the complete racing potential of the RC and guarantee quick, agile and playful handling.

Swing Arm

The light alloy swingarm with directly linked WP shock absorber excels with extreme torsional stiffness and outstanding tracking stability

Telescopic Fork

The KTM RC 125 high-quality upside-down fork from WP Suspension has the same 43 mm outer tube diameter as the RC8 R – in other words, real racing equipment that guarantees highest levels of stability and precision.
