The RC125 is a 125cc motorcycle and competes with a 150cc and a 200cc motorcycle. Both have faired designs and R15 V3 is known for its great performance with its small 150cc engine.
KTM RC125 gets a 124.6cc liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine, that produces 14.5 BHP and 12 Nm of peak torque. The engine specs are the same as of the Duke 125, but the tuning is likely revised. The motor comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
