Engine
All of the latest technical innovations ensure the TE 125 engine delivers unrivalled performance and best-in-class rideability. Fuelled by Throttle Body Injection (TBI), maximum torque and strong power throughout the rev-range ensures the TE 125 is easy to ride for both youngsters and hobby riders alike. The compact engine is designed to position all internal components to assist with centralising mass, which plays a vital role in the lightweight and agile handling of this exceptional machine.
Cylinder
The cylinder features a 54 mm bore and as the TE 125 is fuelled via Throttle Body Injection (TBI), the traditional powervalve is replaced with an innovative electronic exhaust control system. Using an actuator, the lateral exhaust port and main exhaust port open simultaneously for maximum power. Together with a machined finish on the upper contour of the exhaust port, engine performance is unrivalled.
Throttle body
The electronic fuel injection system on the TE 125 brings many benefits. The ECU constantly analyses the running condition of the engine and always guarantees the perfect air/fuel ratio through the state-of-the-art 39 mm Keihin throttle body. EFI also introduces two different engine maps, which can easily be selected via the handlebar-mounted switch for a personalised riding experience. Map 1 (white) is designed for technical terrain while Map 2 (green) is more aggressive and suited to sand and heavier track conditions. Additionally, the reed valve system is designed to reduce excess fuel build up, which prevents a rich running of the engine in extreme downhill sections.
Crankcase
Designed to be low in weight without sacrificing strength or reliability, the crankcases are made using a high-pressure die cast production process to create a thin-wall design. To centralise engine mass, the shaft arrangements are precisely positioned to harness rotating masses at the ideal centre of gravity.
Exhaust
Tailored specifically for the TE 125 using an innovative 3D design process, the exhaust pipe delivers unrivalled performance and is designed for maximum ground clearance to reduce the risk of impact damage out on the trail. The compact silencer is made from lightweight, high strength aluminium and features an advanced internal construction for excellent noise damping.
Frame
With an optimised distribution of material around the steering head and upper shock mount, the frame delivers confidence-inspiring handling and assured stability when entering corners. To complement the overall look of the machine, the chromium molybdenum chassis is finished with a premium, metallic blue powder coating. The finishing touches are the frame protectors, which not only protect the paintwork, but also provide riders with additional grip, even in the toughest conditions.
Hybrid subframe
Made from 60% polyamide and 40% aluminium, the subframe offers exceptional strength and durability at a low overall weight of just 1.8 kg. The lower subframe spars and frame mounts are manufactured from cast aluminium for reliability with the upper section made from injection-molded polyamide to enable specific flex characteristics.
Swingarm
The swingarm is manufactured using a die-cast production process and designed with a calculated level of rigidity. To further complement and optimise the flex characteristics of the chassis, a 22 mm rear wheel axle is utilised. A durable chain slider is neatly integrated into the swingarm, ensuring uninterrupted forward momentum through deeply rutted corners.
Bodywork
The ergonomic bodywork was designed to ensure that riders can perform at their best throughout every race. This was achieved through extensive testing, with the smooth contact points in the rider triangle allowing racers to grip the machine tightly with their legs, reducing fatigue. The radiator shrouds, featuring in-mould graphics, contribute to the progressive appearance of the machine, while a tall, wide seat offers unrestricted movement. A high-grip seat cover also helps keep riders securely in place under hard acceleration.
Fuel tank
An 8.5-litre fuel tank integrates neatly with the ergonomic bodywork and features a robust rubber cushion beneath it to hold the tank in place and protect the frame from wear. For durability, the external fuel line is specifically routed to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage.
WP XACT front forks
Designed and developed for the rigours of enduro riding, the WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring forks offer consistent damping thanks to their innovative design. Inside each fork leg, lightweight springs with a polished finish enhance performance, while mid-valve pistons optimise oil flow to prevent foaming. A one-piece hydrostop, effective in the last 68 mm of travel, is highly advantageous when landing heavily as it helps to maintain forward momentum. Additionally, riders can alter the compression and rebound settings quickly and easily using the tool-free adjusters found at the top and bottom of each fork leg.
WP XACT rear shock
The WP XACT rear shock features a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimised main piston, ensuring superior initial comfort and predictable performance in all conditions. To give riders the option of creating a personalised set-up, rebound, as well as the high and low-speed compression settings, can all be adjusted easily by hand.
Hydraulic brakes
Class-leading Brembo brake callipers, made from single pieces of aluminium for strength, are fitted front and rear to ensure high braking performance. Together with 260 mm front and 220 mm rear discs, both designed to prevent mud build-up, effective stopping power in all conditions is assured. The strong rear brake pedal is highly durable, and less susceptible to damage when riding through deep ruts.
Hydraulic clutch
The high-performance Brembo hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear, near maintenance-free operation, and perfect action in every condition. With this hydraulic system, free play is constantly compensated so that the pressure point, and function of the clutch remain identical in cold or hot conditions, as well as over time. Countless hours of testing have proven the reliability of the high-quality, Italian-made Brembo hydraulic system.
Wheels and tyres
CNC-machined hubs, strong spokes, and high-strength, black-anodised alloy rims are used to assemble the wheels. They are complete with the latest Michelin tyres for precise cornering and superior grip across varied terrain.
Triple clamps
The black-anodized, CNC-machined triple clamps offer premium quality as standard. They have a carefully calculated 22 mm offset and are expertly crafted using superior techniques and materials for the highest levels of quality and reliability. The handlebar clamp has a large contact surface with the ProTaper bars to help prevent twisting in the event of a crash and offers two mounting options for customisable ergonomics.
Cooling System
Manufactured from high-strength aluminium, the radiators are designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to channel air through them in the most effective way. A large centre tube through the frame reduces pressure at this point in the system for a consistent coolant flow, while an internal thermostat further enhances reliability. A reliable, threaded radiator cap allows for easy inspection of the coolant level before each ride.
LED Headlight
The LED headlight provides a remarkably bright light output for excellent visibility at night and is particularly effective when riding through dense woodland. A clever mounting design sees the LED lighting unit fitted inside the headlight mask using a quick-release system that allows it to be replaced quickly and easily if damaged.
Map Switch
By using the Map Select Switch, the engine characteristics can be tailored to modify the power delivery according to rider preference or conditions. It offers a choice of two settings that can be engaged while riding - Map 1, for predictable, linear power, and Map 2, for a stronger throttle response that is perfectly suited to heavy conditions.
Footrest
Using state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics, the large footrests are designed for maximum control and to prevent mud from building up. Additionally, the mounting position brings them inwards, which makes them less susceptible to catching on the ground through deep ruts.
Electric Start
Taken from the motocross range, the combined start/stop switch is located on the right side of the handlebar for easy, thumb-operated use. Not only simplifying the starting and stopping of the engine, but the removal of a designated stop only button from the handlebar reduces the risk of potential damage or activation in the event of a fall.
Engine Management System
The Vitesco Engine Management System (EMS) is designed to be small, light, and fast at processing data. It incorporates a Rollover Sensor (ROS) that cuts the ignition and shuts off the engine in the event of a severe crash for an additional layer of safety.
