2025 KTM 125 XC

Two years of hard-charging R&D have gone into the making of the 2025 KTM 125 XC. That's right, we meant Racing and Development. A reworked, lighter frame, updated engine mounts, and a new durable chain glide - to name a few - make the 2025 KTM 125 XC the leader in the 2-Stroke GNCC screamer class.

Features may include:

BEFORE THE FLAG

CLICK INTO ACTION

Easy Suspension Adjustment

The 2025 KTM XC and XC-F range took their already awesome suspension package and turned it up to 11. The WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks and WP XACT rear shock has been updated, with reworked settings and alterations to improve weight distribution and increase overall response. As always, the suspension boasts an easy tool-free setup at both ends, ensuring you chase down the podium in total control. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression control allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. The forks on the front end are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and top cap.

BREATHE EASY

Airbox

Now a more robust one-piece construction, the airbox on the 2025 KTM XC range features a redesigned air inlet sleeve and snorkel, which prevents deformation and improves airflow. But don't fret, toolless filter access is retained, with an intuitive filter mounting system and protection against dirt intrusion.

START STRONG

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE

More Usable Power

Designed to churn out more torque than any 125 cc 2-Stroke on the market, the 2025 KTM 125 XC is set to continue its dominance in its class with unrelenting forward momentum. With an overall engine weight of only 39.37 lb and impressive horsepower figures, this lightweight powerplant retains its typical high-revving character, while laying down the grunt where it matters most.

NO CARBS. MORE MUSCLE

Fuel Injection

With Electronic Fuel Injection setting the standard, there's no more jetting setup pre-race, and thanks to the Keihin EFI, the ECU coming from Vitesco and reed valve case design, you can be guaranteed of laying down optimal power at any altitude, all of the time.

TOTAL TRACTION

Selectable Maps

Once again slicing into the 125 cc class with the leading edge of technology, the 2025 KTM 125 XC features a map select switch as standard, allowing the racer to switch between 2 perceptible engine maps.

Map 1 provides the ultimate power delivery to dominate hard-pack surfaces, while Map 2 gives you the edge in soft, sandy conditions

CALM UNDER FIRE

CORNER ON RAILS

Absolute Control

No matter how gnarly the trail is, you'll stay in control thanks to a rider-focussed frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also positions rotating mass as close as possible to the center of gravity. Thick frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. The shock mounting also provides the perfect amount of anti-squat for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position reduces the risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, forged brackets on the lower frame rails allow for easy installation of the skid plate.

Ergonomics

The 2025 KTM XC and XC-F range feature upgraded tank shrouds with bi-compound plastics, which work alongside the specially-developed rider triangle, to provide unmatched knee contact and gripping surfaces - especially when standing on the pegs. While the plastics work to expel mud buildup in wet, muddy conditions, the flat seat profile and high-grip orange seat cover give exceptional rider movement and control.
