KTM 125 FRR

-- KTM 125 FRR

The Repsol riders in the 125cc category are competing in the 2008 season on a new machine.

Esteve Rabat and Marc Márquez will each ride a KTM 125 FRR; the 2008 version of a bike that showed its enormous potential last season when it finished third in the World Championships, taking six podiums, one of which on the top step. Unlike the bike they had last season, this one is still going through constant evolution, with the clear ambition of holding a strong position in the two-stroke world, now and in the future.

The bike it carries a smaller and more compact engine than last year's. Another feature is the air inlet centrally located at the front of the fairing, connected straight to the airbox through the chassis, and not under it as was usual. What is more, it is provided with an electric water pump and different suspension, due to a change of brand (now they are Ohlins).
