- Aprilia unveils two new bikes
- RX125 is an adventure bike
- SX125 is a supermoto
Aprilia has unveiled a surprise at the ongoing 2024 EICMA. The company has revealed a 125cc adventure bike that goes by the name RX125.
The RX125 is the most affordable off-road bike from the Italian brand’s line-up. The company claims that it wants to attract a new generation of younger riders and the RX125 and the SX125 will do just that. The overall styling of the bike looks quite nice and with the typical Aprilia colours, these bikes are definitely going to turn heads.
The Aprilia RX 125 is powered by a new single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor which makes 15bhp at 10,000rpm and peak torque of 11.2Nm at 8000rpm. This motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The RX125 is an off-road-ready bike that rides on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels whereas the SX125 gets a 17-inch combination. The former gets dual-purpose tyres and the latter gets road-biased ones.
The rest of the cycle parts look quite simple. The SX125 gets a bigger front brake disc at 300mm, whereas the RX125 gets 260mm. The rear 220mm disc with a floating caliper is the same for both bikes. Both these Aprilias tip the scale at 134kg which is quite good. The fuel tank capacity stands at seven litres, making it an urban product.
The RX125 will be sold in two colours –white and black whereas the SX125 gets five colours – silver, white, red, yellow and another shade of silver. These bikes are unlikely to come to India, but look quite perfect for our market.
