KTM 125 Duke

The KTM 125 DUKE might only displace 125 cc, but make no mistake — this is pure DUKE attitude distilled into a lightweight, razor-sharp package. Built with the same aggressive NAKED-bike DNA as its larger siblings, the 2026 KTM 125 DUKE delivers bold styling, advanced technology, and street-focused performance that punches well above its weight.

Now available at Lings Powersports, the KTM 125 DUKE stands out as one of the most capable and desirable lightweight street bikes on the market. Designed for new riders and urban enthusiasts alike, it combines agile handling, premium components, and unmistakable KTM presence for maximum fun on every ride.

At its heart is a modern 125 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine with a 4-valve head and electronic fuel injection. Producing the class-leading maximum of 15 PS, it delivers lively acceleration and crisp throttle response. A slick six-speed gearbox paired with a slipper clutch ensures smooth shifting and confidence when downshifting, whether commuting or carving through twisty roads.

The lightweight steel trellis frame forms the backbone of the 125 DUKE’s sharp handling character. WP APEX suspension — featuring a 43 mm inverted front fork and a rear monoshock — provides excellent feedback, control, and comfort. With its low overall weight and responsive chassis, the bike feels effortless to maneuver, making city riding and spirited backroad sessions equally rewarding.

Braking performance is strong and confidence-inspiring, thanks to a large front disc with a radial-mounted four-piston caliper, supported by a rear disc and Bosch ABS for added safety in everyday riding conditions. The precise chassis geometry and upright riding position ensure excellent visibility, stability, and rider confidence.

Aggressive, angular styling defines the 2026 KTM 125 DUKE, highlighted by its full LED headlight with integrated DRL, sharp tank shrouds, and bold KTM graphics. A modern 5-inch TFT display delivers clear, intuitive access to key ride information, reinforcing the bike’s premium big-bike feel.

With an approachable seat height, comfortable ergonomics, and advanced ride-by-wire throttle, the KTM 125 DUKE is easy to ride yet endlessly entertaining. It’s the perfect entry point into the KTM street lineup — offering serious performance, standout design, and everyday usability in one thrilling lightweight package.
