KTM 125 Duke 2020

If you want an aggressive design, sporty and good handling as well as higher performance, especially in the upper rev range, you can't go wrong with the Duke. The attention to detail, for example in the form of the LED turn signals or the elaborate and multifunctional TFT display, are a KTM trademark. The only drawback is that it lacks a little power in the lower rev range.

The Aprilia RS 457 presents itself as an impressive bike in the A2 category, with its harmonious combination of powerful engine, sporty riding dynamics and appealing design. The engine delivers dynamic power and the suspension offers a sporty and precise riding experience. The ergonomics and sound also contribute to a positive overall impression. However, there are weaknesses in the brakes, particularly in terms of modulation and the behaviour of the ABS system at the limit.
