KTM Duke 125 Review Performance
The KTM Duke 125 with The state-of-the-art, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder four-stroke engine with twin overhead camshafts, four valves and electronic fuel injection has been developed specifically for the 125 Duke. Effortlessly, it achieves peak power of 11 kW (15 hp) and thanks to the balancer shaft, delivers the highest levels of smoothness. two overhead camshafts in the 125 Dukes cylinder head actuate four valves by means of cam levers. This design is not only extremely reliable, but the cam levers are coated with ultra-hard carbon which minimises friction - releasing even more power.
