The brand new Benelli BKX 125, a true trail hunter.

BKX 125 : Benelli's new adventure bike, dedicated to the next generation of motorcyclists, arrives on the market, a motorcycle designed for those who want to explore alternative paths and explore new roads with complete freedom. A lightweight, easy-to-use all-rounder, designed to offer maximum handling and control in any context and on any surface, always ensuring maximum fun. The BKX 125 is the bike Benelli has designed for those approaching the world of adventure, making lightness and ease of use its winning features. Its all-round spirit blends perfectly with a chassis designed for riding pleasure and a unique, innovative design.

The BKX 125 was designed by the Benelli Style Center in Pesaro, which focused on simple, soft, and clean lines, with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a style that immediately captures the eye. This is also thanks to a front light cluster with a strong personality: starting with the modern and eye-catching DRL, shared with the road-legal “S” version, while at the rear the brake lights are integrated into the turn indicators. The front indicators, however, are housed within the structure of the handguards: a premium detail rarely seen on motorcycles of this displacement.

The BKX 125 features a steel tubular trellis frame and a 41 mm front fork that is fully adjustable for preload, compression, and rebound damping. This is a premium feature in a very accessible segment, allowing even the youngest riders and beginners to experiment with chassis setup and discover the infinite set-up combinations. The monoshock, adjustable for preload and rebound damping, is connected to the swingarm via a linkage. To tackle any terrain, the BKX 125 features 180 mm of suspension travel and a 19”/17” spoked wheel combination, just like modern adventure bikes (90/90-19” at the front and 120/90-17” at the rear).

The heart of the BKX 125 is the new 125cc liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, Euro 5+ single-cylinder engine (bore x stroke: 54 x 54.5 mm) for power and torque figures that fall perfectly within the limits of the A1 license: 15 hp (11 kW) @ 9,500 rpm and 12.1 Nm (1.2 kgm) @ 7,000 rpm. As for the braking system, the BKX 125 features a 280 mm diameter front disc gripped by a four-piston radial caliper, while at the rear we find a 240 mm disc with a single-piston floating caliper.

Coming to dimensions, the BKX 125 has a seat height of 860 mm with a ground clearance of 233 mm, a wheelbase of 1,430 mm and a weight of 144 kg. Thanks to a slim but capacious 12-litre fuel tank and low fuel consumption, the range reaches the threshold of 500 km.

The BKX 125 is available in 4 exclusive colours – Nordic White, Cement Grey, Avio Blue and Dune Sea.
