The newly launched Benelli BKX 125 2026 is a striking entry-level adventure motorcycle designed specifically for the A1 license category, making its market debut in early 2026. Styled by the Benelli Style Center in Pesaro, Italy, it features a minimalist yet futuristic aesthetic, highlighted by a vertical LED headlight assembly and distinctive handguards with integrated indicators. Powering the bike is a new liquid-cooled 125cc single-cylinder engine producing 15 hp at 9,500 rpm and 12.1 Nm of torque, pushing the legal limits of its class for maximum performance. Built for versatility, the BKX 125 uses a steel trellis frame, fully adjustable 41 mm upside-down forks, and 180 mm of suspension travel, allowing it to transition seamlessly from city streets to light off-road trails. With a lightweight curb weight of 144 kg, a 12-liter fuel tank offering nearly 500 km of range, and a 19-inch front spoked wheel, the BKX 125 positions itself as a premium yet accessible gateway for the next generation of adventure riders.
