POWER HUNGRY
Engine
Boasting the latest generation of KTM's LC4c engine, the KTM 125 SMC R features a compact, 124 cc single-cylinder powerplant, churning out impressive power and effortless acceleration. This makes it ideal for charging through motorway traffic, or playing around in the parking lots.
The KTM 125 SMC R boasts a Bosch 10.3MB Modulator which is the brain responsible for its impressive ABS system. This enables standard ABS and a Supermoto ABS option for sliding action.
Tearing a deep gash into the night, the KTM 125 SMC R is equipped with powerful LED lights. Not only do these work when the world becomes dark, but they also provide improved visibility when navigating busy traffic or misty road conditions.

THE BACKBONE
Frame
The new design features a 2-piece construction composed of an all-new steel trellis main frame with a pressure die-cast aluminum subframe. Not only designed for overall looks, the primary objective of the frame design is to enhance vehicle dynamics by augmenting torsional rigidity, improved agility, and enhanced feedback from the chassis.
CURVED PIVOT

A gravity die-cast swingarm has been specifically developed for the KTM 125 SMC R, and provides a sturdy and durable platform for the rear suspension system. Featuring a direct shock absorber mount offset to the side, it creates additional space for the unique exhaust system.
