It's huge for a 125! Test ride recommended due to poor reach to the ground: APRILIA RX125 [Webike Bike Pickup]

In this project, our editorial department picks up and introduces one interesting bike from the "MY Bike" posts in the Webike community. This time, we are featuring the APRILIA "RX125", owned by "Maniboo".

RX125 (125cc) Owner: Maniboo

Aprilia's "RX125" is a full-size off-roader in the 125cc class designed with serious off-road riding in mind. It is equipped with a liquid-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder engine and features luxurious equipment that exceeds its class, such as a high-tensile steel twin-tube frame, inverted front forks, and an aluminum swingarm. By adopting a 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel size and fitting authentic off-road tires, it demonstrates high off-road performance in a wide range of situations, from forest roads to city streets. Because it combines the low maintenance costs of a 125cc bike with a full-scale chassis and equipment, it is gaining popularity as a model that can be fully enjoyed not only as a second bike but also as a main bike.

Owner Maniboo purchased the RX125 because "it looks cool." They seem to have compared it with the KTM 125 Duke, but were drawn to the design of the RX125. They say they currently enjoy it mainly for "casual riding." With its full-scale chassis despite being in the 125cc class, the RX125 can be called an attractive bike that satisfies the desire for ownership.
