FUN BIKES: 2025 KTM 125 XC | WORDS & PHOTOS: KRIS KEEFER
Two years of in-depth R&D have gone into the making of the 2025 KTM 125 XC. A reworked, lighter frame, updated engine mounts, and a new durable chain guide–to name a few–make the 2025 KTM 125 XC the leader in the two-stroke GNCC off-road small bore two-stroke class. You know 125s can be fun if they are in the right hands and the buyer has an open mind. Sure, it takes some work to get the 125cc machine to get going but once you do there is nothing like screaming around the woods on a 125. The KTM 125 XC comes with all the updates its bigger brothers with a different sound have, but what’s even better is that the XC line of KTM motorcycles comes with a closed cartridge spring fork and not the AER forks that the motocross lineup comes with. In off-road riding/racing, consistency is key and having spring forks on the 125 XC is a huge draw.
