KTM 125 Xc W - 2027 Specifications and Reviews
The KTM 125 XC-W continues as KTM's lightweight cross-country enduro racer for 2027, powered by a 124.8cc liquid-cooled two-stroke single with electronic fuel injection. A central double-cradle chromoly frame carries WP XACT USD forks (300mm travel) and a WP XPLOR PDS rear shock (310mm travel), with Brembo hydraulic brakes and a wet DDS multi-disc clutch. At a claimed 96.4 kg dry, it's built for tight, technical off-road racing rather than road use.
