Rieju has once again shaken up the 125cc market with the launch of the NKX 125, a naked bike that dares to be different. With a strong adventure vibe, it's not just another naked—it blends offroad and urban elements into one tempting package.
For those following the Spanish brand, this move is part of their strategy to strengthen their 125cc lineup. The NKX 125 answers the call of riders who want a nimble city bike that can still handle light dirt trails. Its rugged design immediately catches the eye, with a minimalist front fairing and a vertical Full LED headlight that adds a modern touch.
Strong Offroad Touches
What makes the NKX 125 stand out are its offroad details. From handguards with integrated turn signals, engine guards, to a bash plate ready to protect the underbelly. Not to forget, 17-inch wire-spoke wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tires sized 110/70 front and 140/70 rear. This combination offers more versatility than a conventional naked, while remaining comfortable for daily asphalt use.
Mechanically, Rieju entrusts the NKX 125 to a 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled engine with electronic injection. Bore x stroke is 58 x 47 mm, paired with a six-speed transmission. Power output isn't for racing, but it's enough for city commuting and country roads. The six-speed gearbox makes the bike flexible in various conditions, from stop-and-go to cruising speeds.
Capable Chassis
For handling, the NKX 125 uses a high-strength steel tubular frame. Up front, there's a 41mm upside-down fork, while the rear is supported by a progressive monoshock with preload adjustment. Wheelbase is 1,376 mm—a compact figure for maneuvering through dense traffic. The suspension is designed to absorb bumps well, whether on potholed roads or light rocky terrain.
With a light weight and upright riding position, the NKX 125 feels easy to control. You can stand on the footpegs when tackling rough roads, thanks to decent ground clearance. This is a bike that invites you to break out of the routine and explore further.
Rieju doesn't claim the NKX 125 as a true trail bike, but as a naked with extra capability. For young riders or those wanting to try a more adventurous riding experience, this bike offers an attractive package. Pricing and global availability will be key, but on paper, the NKX 125 is ready to compete in the bustling 125cc segment.
