The 2026 Benelli BKX 125 is a lightweight 125cc adventure motorcycle designed for riders who want to explore beyond the everyday road. With a 15hp Euro 5+ liquid-cooled engine, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, long-travel suspension and ABS braking, the BKX 125 combines accessible performance with genuine adventure-bike equipment.

Designed by the Benelli Style Centre in Pesaro, the BKX 125 features distinctive styling, a steel tubular trellis frame and a practical riding position. Its 860mm seat height, 233mm ground clearance and 144kg weight make it a manageable option for riders entering the adventure motorcycle category. 

125cc Euro 5+ Engine

The Benelli BKX 125 is powered by a 125cc single-cylinder, four-stroke, four-valve liquid-cooled engine producing 15hp (11kW) at 9,500rpm and 12.1Nm of torque at 7,000rpm.

Electronic fuel injection and a six-speed gearbox provide responsive performance, while the engine's output remains within A1 licence limits.

The engine uses forced wet-sump lubrication and features a catalytic converter with double oxygen sensors. 

Long-Travel Suspension

The BKX 125 is equipped with a 41mm upside-down front fork, fully adjustable for spring preload, compression and rebound damping.

At the rear, a progressive-link monoshock is adjustable for spring preload and rebound damping.

Both front and rear suspension provide 180mm of travel, giving the BKX 125 the suspension capability required for varied surfaces and light off-road riding. 

19-Inch Front and 17-Inch Rear Wheels

The adventure-focused BKX 125 uses spoked wheels with a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear combination.

The front is fitted with a 90/90-19 tyre and the rear with a 120/90-17 tyre, providing a setup suited to both road riding and exploring less predictable surfaces. 

ABS Braking

ABS braking is fitted as standard.

The front uses a 280mm floating disc with a four-piston calliper, while the rear features a 240mm disc with a single-piston floating calliper.

Full LED Lighting

The BKX 125 features full LED lighting as standard.

The front lighting incorporates a distinctive daytime running light, while the rear brake lights are integrated into the turn indicators.

Handguards with Integrated LED Indicators

Handguards are fitted as standard, with the front LED indicators integrated into their structure.

This provides additional protection around the rider's hands and controls while maintaining the motorcycle's clean adventure-bike design.

12-Litre Fuel Tank

The BKX 125 has a 12-litre fuel tank with a 1.5-litre reserve.

Benelli states that the motorcycle can achieve a range of up to approximately 500km, depending on riding conditions and riding style. Benelli

Adventure-Ready Ground Clearance

With 233mm of ground clearance and 180mm of suspension travel at both ends, the BKX 125 is designed to handle uneven surfaces and light off-road riding.

Its 1,430mm wheelbase and 144kg weight help maintain a manageable and controlled riding character.
