KTM RC 125 ABS motorcycle launched in India, priced at Rs 1.47 lakh

Austrian bike maker KTM, which is a part of Bajaj Auto, today launched its all-new RC 125 ABS model at an introductory price of Rs 1.47 lakh. According to the company, bookings for the bike commenced from today at 470 exclusive KTM showrooms in the country and deliveries will start by the end of the month.

Sumeet Narang, Vice President (Probiking) at Bajaj Auto, said, "KTM motorcycles are built to a purpose of winning performance and handling. It is no different with the RC 125 which will provide a true KTM experience to the motorcycle enthusiast seeking to enter our supersport world." 

Powered by a 124.7 cc engine, the all-new RC 125 gives biking enthusiasts an entry into KTM's world of supersport motorcycling, Bajaj Auto said.

The all-new RC 125 ABS, which has a ground clearance of 157 mm with a weight of 154.2 kg, comes with twin projector headlamps with daytime running lamps along with a digital instrument console. The design of new KTM bike is similar to its elder sibling, the KTM RC 390, but the new version gets an edgy look which will sit well with the target audience. 

KTM India today tweeted, "Presenting the all-new KTM RC 125! Enter the MotoGP world of KTM RCs and ignite the racer within! Starting at ₹1.47Lakhs (ex-showroom Delhi)"

Earlier this month on June 13, KTM India tweeted "Get ready to unlock the Moto GP racer in you! The all-new KTM RC 125 is arriving soon. Stay Tuned!"

The KTM RC 125 is about Rs 17,000 pricier than the KTM 125 Duke, but is cheaper than the RC 200. The new bike is likely to give a tough challenge to the Yamaha R15 V3.0 in the current price range.
