While its rejuvenated bigger brothers with 390, 790 and 1290 in their names have already broken the internet, the entry-level KTM Duke 125 is not to be left behind. For 2017, the baby Duke receives the same styling upgardes from the new 390, that include sharper bodywork, a slammed stance, a new split LED headlight assembly, and an exposed bolt-on sub frame underling the redesigned seats.

Its single cylinder, 4-stroke, DOHC engine features electronic fuel injection, a 3-way catalytic converter and a balancer shaft. The engine is good for 15 hp, while being compatible with Euro 4 emission norms. Like its elder brother, the new Duke 125 also sports a new, ultralight trellis frame with a bolt-on rear subframe, and a lightweight die-cast aluminum swingarm. It also features 43 mm open-cartridge front forks by WP Suspension, a new 300 mm front brake disc and a side-mounted exhaust system.
