Overview

Introducing the 2012 KTM 125 EXC Six Days, a formidable contender in the enduro-offroad category that blends racing pedigree with off-road capability. Designed specifically for enthusiasts who crave a lightweight yet powerful machine, the 125 EXC Six Days is a limited-edition model that embodies KTM's commitment to performance. With its racing-tuned specifications, this bike is not just built to tackle trails but to dominate them, making it an ideal choice for both competitive riders and weekend warriors alike. At the heart of the KTM 125 EXC Six Days lies a robust 124.80 ccm single-cylinder, two-stroke engine, boasting a compression ratio of 12.5:1. This powerhouse is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, allowing for quick shifts and responsive power delivery that keeps you in the sweet spot across various terrains. The Keihin PWK 36 S AG carburettor ensures optimal fuel delivery, while the liquid cooling system maintains engine performance even under the most demanding conditions. Riders will appreciate the bike's lightweight design, tipping the scales at just 95 kg (209.4 lbs), which translates to agile handling and exceptional maneuverability on tight trails and rocky paths. The KTM 125 EXC Six Days is equipped with cutting-edge technology that enhances both rider experience and performance. Its central tube frame, crafted from chrome molybdenum steel, provides a perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility, contributing to precise handling. The WP Suspension system, featuring an Up Side Down front fork and a PDS rear shock, offers impressive travel—300 mm at the front and 335 mm at the rear—ensuring that it can absorb bumps and obstacles with ease. Coupled with robust braking components, including a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc, this bike delivers confidence-inspiring stopping power. Add to this the striking color options of orange, white, blue, and black, and you have a bike that not only performs but also turns heads. **

Pros

  • Lightweight and Agile: At just 95 kg, the bike offers outstanding maneuverability and responsiveness, perfect for technical trails.
  • Powerful Engine: The two-stroke engine delivers impressive power-to-weight ratio, making it a thrilling ride for both casual and competitive riders.
  • Advanced Suspension: The WP Suspension system allows for excellent shock absorption and stability on rough terrain, enhancing rider confidence.

Cons

  • Kick Start Only: The absence of an electric starter may be a drawback for some riders, particularly in challenging situations.
  • Limited Fuel Capacity: With only 9.5 liters (2.51 gallons) of fuel capacity, longer rides may require more frequent stops for refueling.
  • Height Considerations: With a seat height of 960 mm (37.8 inches), it may not be the best fit for shorter riders, necessitating some skill to manage during stops and starts.
