With a price tag of US$ 5,999, this bike is designed for riders who crave excitement and performance on the track. Husqvarna has long been synonymous with off-road mastery, and the CR125 is no exception, boasting a reputation for its lightweight agility and robust build, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned racers and enthusiastic newcomers eager to tackle the dirt. At the heart of the CR125 lies a potent single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 144 cc, delivering thrilling acceleration and a punchy powerband that allows for quick maneuvers on the track. The compression ratio of 8.8:1 complements the Mikuni TMX38 carburetor, ensuring a responsive throttle and impeccable fuel delivery.

The CR125 is not just about raw power; it is loaded with features that elevate its performance. The chromoly single tube frame cradle is crafted from rounded-rectangle elliptical tubing, providing a sturdy yet agile chassis. The front suspension features Marzocchi 48mm upside-down forks, allowing for compression and rebound adjustments for a customizable ride. At the rear, the Sachs single shock with a remote reservoir offers adjustable spring preload, compression, and rebound damping, ensuring that the bike can be fine-tuned to suit any rider's preference. With a comfortable seat height of 985 mm (38.8 inches) and a generous ground clearance of 325 mm (12.8 inches), the CR125 instills confidence, letting riders push their limits without hesitation. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: Weighing only 92 kg (202.8 lbs), the CR125 is highly maneuverable, making it perfect for tight tracks and technical sections.
  • Powerful Engine: The 144 cc two-stroke engine provides exhilarating acceleration and performance, ideal for competitive racing.
