Can the 2021 KTM 125 XC do MOUNTAINS???

I've been saving up hours on this bike so that I could ride it in the mountains and still keep the hours around 20 hours total before I give it away. So today was the first time in a long time that I rode the bike. It was great in the first mountain ride.
I'm really impressed with how well the forks soaked up all the rocks on this trail. It was phenomenal .

Happy birthday, Kyle! Thanks for the great videos! I got back into dirtbiking after a 30-year hiatus. I picked up a 2013 YZ125 last fall and have been watching a lot of your videos to brush up on skills. I just turned 48 a few weeks ago and I feel like a kid again! 😁😁😁

[@leroywilliams7210]

Same here! 46 and picked up a YZ125X last year and my 300 sits now, so much fun even in the gnar!

[@leewaken5059]

Happy Birthday! You may feel you're getting old, I get it. Because, well you never been this old before. Hindsight, I turned 40 back in the last century (1999) and you are not old. Enjoy your youth!😉

[@andyk4688]

Happy birthday Kyle thank you for all that you do for our sport I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I have purchased rode and sold 5 bikes trying to find the perfect one for me. Im currently on a 2021 xc 250 which i love. I do want to try that xc 125 because the 250 is more than enough for me😊

[@gctrails]

Birthday ride! Man you have a lot of good years of riding still ahead of you.

[@tself77]

I'd love to see the new 150 XC-W TPI's tested on your channel. I know you've done the 150 before but they say the new TPI version makes considerably more torque right off the bottom. Considering it over a 250 XC-W for my next bike.

[@carlatamanczyk3891]

We have both 125 and 150 in our family in our fleet of 15 bikes.. The small bores work ok if you don't mind keeping them on the pipe all the time.

[@MichaelSvenson]

@@carlatamanczyk3891 What do you mean keeping it on the pipe? Like at very high revs all the time to get anywhere at high speeds?

[@RIDECLIMBSKI33]

I’m 205lb high C low B vet woods rider in MO. I just bought a 2022 125 xc and it’s plenty fast! No it won’t lug well, but that’s the point, you gotta hammer it, fan the clutch, shift lots, brake late and get on the gas out of corners early, it’s so fun! For context my other bike is a 2018 300xcw with an RK-TEK head, Lectron, fatty pipe, v-force reeds and full suspension treatment from Kreft. I run VP T2 in both bikes. The 300 is scary fast and pulls like a spanked ape right off idle, but I’ve got to really focus if I’m riding hard or it gets away from me. The 125 xc on the other hand makes me feel like a hero, it’s pinned most of the time and never bites me back! Suspension is stock except for the addition of a Kreft plush tank (which I highly recommend), I’m running 8.9 bar and have the Kreft plush tank on the soft setting. Still running the stock shock spring too. It’s obviously not as good as the 300 with Kreft’s full treatment but it’s very plush in the woods with out being mushy. It’s stops on a dime too and corners really well. It’s not just a play bike, it’s fast, even with a 205lb-er on it! Two thumbs up for the 2022 125xc IMO.

[@mikeh.4087]

Happy Birthday, Kyle!

[@tudorcotoi7011]

As long as you stay on the pipe, any cross country or enduro 125 will be fine. I have hundreds of hours on a Husqvarna WR125(the bike that taught me technical riding) and I can safety say I know that bike inside and out. It’s the rider, not necessarily the bike.

Just curious... were you wearing your knee brace when you hurt your meniscus? Not judging, just curious. I love to run and would be so bummed if a simple tip-over injured my knee (but I don't do the knarly like you do either).

[@hueyvan2007]

Excellent bike that 125 xc. Can go anywhere the 250 xc will. Kyle you have a weird riding style... you don't change up and constantly blipping the throttle. But I guess if it works for ya that's fine.

[@frankzeke7409]

Welcome to the 40+ rider club Kyle, best way to spend your birthday is getting a good ride in!👍 Sounds like it's time for knee braces testing bud. I'm forced to wear one on my right after ACL reconstruction at age 21. I never ride without it now & has saved me from repeat surgeries at least 3 times. I'm shopping for a new set soon. So many advancements have occurred for riders, and prices are more affordable now too. Brraaap on rider!

[@merrickisley8248]

Where is this trail??

[@laurenthompson7495]

My TC125 works great single tracking. Only mods are 707 suspension, FMF pipe and silencer plus flywheel weight.

[@holdenf6167]

How do you like the flywheel weight thinking about getting one for my 125 also and what weight did you go with I’ll probably go with the 6 oz because I like the snappiness the bike has

[@laurenthompson7495]

@@holdenf6167 It smoothed out the power band. Money 💰 well spent. I used the 6 too. It works well with the FMF pipe and silencer. The combination made it easier on hard pack and rocks but still works well in the softer areas. Hope this helps.

Friend, that’s how small bore two strokes are. It is in their nature. They always sound like they are revving to the moon.

[@draftwood]

@@chadrides914 Yep, ride near the top of the rev range always. The second you get lazy and shift up to cruise you find you need to downshift to get through the next section.

[@chadrides914]

@@draftwood they are either on or off. No in between. They are a light switch of power. So exciting to ride. Probably the best fun you’ll have put between your legs. A 125 2 stroke.

@@chadrides914 Years ago I had Husky WR 125. It was fun but eventually added a GG EC300 for when i wanted to be lazy.

[@chadrides914]

@@draftwood can’t beat a 250/300 2 stroke. They surely can be ridden a lot less aggressively, and as we get older, I think maybe the small bore bikes are a bit too much work.
