KTM 125 Duke

Several spy photos have emerged what looks like a new small-capacity KTM Duke undergoing testing in Spain. 

  • The test mule is likely to be an updated version of the 125 Duke. 
  • The bike features a new redesigned headlight and revised subframe. 

The test mule can be seen HERE as published by European publication Motociclimso. However, from the looks of it, the test mule is still in an early stage given that many components are not yet completed. 

While we have no information regarding the engine capacity, it is likely an update for either the 125 Duke or 390 Duke. However, looking at the engine size and exhaust exit, it is possible that we are looking at the 125. 

Taking a closer look at the bodywork, we can see a design language that is similar to the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and Super Duke R EVO.

That said, the front shroud bodywork extends towards the front past the fork legs. The rear subframe also appears to be a cast aluminium instead of the steel tubular design. 

The test mule also features a redesigned headlamp but continue to portray the Duke’s DNA. 

While the new development seems exciting, it is difficult to predict when will the new machine make its way to production. 

KTM’s smallest naked bike lineup, the 125 Duke, is set for a major update in 2023.

Since the motorcycle’s inception in 2007, the 125 Duke has established itself as the popular option for young and new riders.

However, while the rest of its bigger siblings are given a proper update, including the original 790 Duke, who is set to make a comeback, the smaller Duke seems to be left out. 

 But the latest report by Motorrad is about to bring joy to the 125 Duke fanboys as the Austrian firm was caught testing an updated version of baby Duke.

 

Looking at the photos, KTM has given the 125 Duke some new refreshments for 2023.

Motorrad says that KTM has revised the single-cylinder engine to ensure better ignition and power delivery while the exhaust has been shortened.

Nonetheless, the 125 Duke will retain the same steel tube frame with the engine sitting in a cast aluminium mounting. KTM also redesigned the aluminium-cast swingarm along with the subframe.

Other major highlights include new five-spoke cast wheels, front brake moving to the right side of the wheel, WP inverted forks, double LED headlights and TFT display.

Currently, there is no word from KTM regarding the launch date, but looking at how close the test mule is to a finished product, the 2023 125 Duke might break cover soon enough.
