The Italian motorcycle company has globally unveiled the 2021 Aprilia RS 125. The updated model of the KTM RC 125 rival is likely to go on sale in the international markets soon. We can see in the pictures that the 2021 Aprilia RS 125 is inspired by the new RS 660. It has similar styling and design that make the motorcycle look stand out from the crowd. Features such as the aggressive-looking LED headlamp setup, fairing-mounted rearview mirrors, high-rise tail section, and split seats bring out the best of this entry-level sportbike. We also like the design of the alloy wheels, sculpted fuel tank, and clip-on handlebars.
As for the hardware, the 2021 Aprilia RS
125 uses a pair of USD forks at the front and a rear monoshock that take care
of the suspension duties. The stopping power comes from disc brakes at both
ends aided by ABS. The motorcycle also features a fully digital instrument
cluster that should provide a good amount of information to the rider.
Coming to the engine, the 2021 Aprilia RS
125 is powered by a 124 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled motor that has been
tinkered around so that it complies with the more stringent Euro 5 emission
regulations. Even while producing fewer harmful emissions, this engine pumps
out 15.2 hp of max power at 10,750 rpm. In comparison, the 124.7 cc engine of the
KTM RC 125 churns out 14.5 PS of max power.
