Overview

Introducing the 2013 Husqvarna WR125, a thrilling entry in the enduro-offroad motorcycle market that seamlessly blends performance with agility. Renowned for its lightweight design and nimble handling, the WR125 is perfect for both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to tackle trails and obstacles. With its striking red, white, and black color scheme, this motorcycle doesn’t just look the part; it's built to dominate the rugged terrains, from rocky paths to muddy tracks, making it a formidable competitor in its category. At the heart of the WR125 is a spirited 124.82 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine that delivers an exhilarating ride. With a bore and stroke of 54.0 x 54.5 mm, the engine is finely tuned for quick throttle response and impressive power delivery. The liquid-cooled design ensures optimal performance even in the most demanding conditions, while the Mikuni TMX38 carburettor enhances fuel efficiency and responsiveness. This combination allows the WR125 to accelerate swiftly and tackle steep inclines with ease, making it a joy to ride on varied off-road terrains. Its lightweight frame, tipping the scales at just 101 kg (222.7 lbs), ensures exceptional maneuverability, allowing riders to weave through tight trails and navigate challenging landscapes with confidence. The WR125 is equipped with advanced features designed for performance and comfort. Its chromoly single tube frame provides a sturdy yet lightweight structure, complemented by a 48mm Kayaba USD front suspension that offers 300 mm of travel for absorbing bumps and shocks. The rear suspension features a Sachs multi-adjustable shock with soft damp linkage, providing 295 mm of travel to maintain control over uneven surfaces. With a digital dash that keeps you informed of vital metrics and street homologation for added versatility, this motorcycle is as functional as it is fun. Safety is also paramount, with wave disc brakes both front (260 mm) and rear (240 mm) ensuring effective stopping power on any terrain. **

Pros

  • Lightweight Design: Weighing in at just 101 kg, the WR125 excels in agility and maneuverability, providing an effortless riding experience.
  • Powerful Engine Performance: The two-stroke engine offers sharp throttle response and impressive acceleration, perfect for tackling tough off-road trails.
  • Advanced Suspension: With 300 mm front and 295 mm rear travel, the suspension system effectively absorbs shocks, enhancing rider comfort and control.
