2026 Benelli BKX 125

BKX 125 is the new Benelli adventure bike dedicated to the next generation of riders. An easy, light and intuitive motorcycle, designed for those who want to take alternative roads and explore new paths in total freedom, searching for a memorable experience. A true all-rounder, created to deliver maximum agility and control in every context and on every surface, always with maximum fun.

Its design, developed by the Centro Stile Benelli, combines clean lines and essential surfaces with proportions inspired by the adventure motorcycle world. The upright riding position, 19” front and 17” rear spoked wheels, and long-travel adjustable suspension define a modern, functional and immediately recognizable motorcycle, ready to tackle every route with a true spirit of exploration.

BKX 125 is powered by a modern 125cc Euro 5+ liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering 15 hp and 12.1 Nm of torque, fully compliant with A1 licence limits. The braking system, equipped with ABS, features a 280 mm front disc with radial caliper and a 240 mm rear disc, ensuring control and safety in every situation. Thanks to dimensions and ergonomics designed also for off-road use, BKX 125 guarantees excellent handling and a strong sense of control.

Built for Adventure

BKX 125 is built around a steel trellis frame, combined with adjustable suspension offering 180 mm of travel and spoked wheels measuring 19” at the front and 17” at the rear. A solid and well-balanced chassis with multiple adjustment possibilities, a premium feature that allows every rider to find the ideal setup to tackle both asphalt and dirt roads with stability and precision.

Style and Personality In Total Freedom

The design of the BKX 125 conveys dynamism even when stationary, instantly inviting the rider to explore. Bold lines and well-balanced proportions blend with functional adventure-oriented solutions, creating a motorcycle with strong character and a unique identity. A style that goes beyond aesthetics, becoming an integral part of the riding experience and the desire to live new adventures.

A New, Always-Ready Beating Heart

At the heart of the BKX 125 lies a new 125cc, 4-stroke, Euro 5+ liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine (54 x 54.5 mm bore and stroke). With 15 hp (11 kW) at 9,500 rpm and 12.1 Nm of torque at 7,000 rpm, it delivers excellent elasticity — a key feature for fully enjoying the BKX 125, even during light off-road riding.

Refined Lighting Details

Great attention to detail and style also defines the lighting system of the BKX 125. The modern DRL, distinguished by its two characteristic LED blades and shared with the street-oriented S version, shapes the front end, while at the rear the brake light and turn indicators are integrated into a single element. The front indicators integrated into the handguards complete a refined and distinctive lighting design.

Fun in Every Condition

Fun in every condition, BKX 125 is designed to deliver a dynamic and safe riding experience, capable of conveying the feel of a higher-category motorcycle. Easy and accessible for beginners, yet solid and rewarding for everyone, BKX 125 allows riders to face every route with confidence, without compromises on riding pleasure.
