Most motorcycles produced in China face challenges entering the motorcycle market because of the reputation associated with many Chinese products. This situation is no different in Bangladesh. Consequently, when Keeway initiated its venture in Bangladesh, it encountered some initial hurdles in establishing credibility and dispelling misconceptions. However, Keeway has now emerged as a prominent player in the motorcycle industry in several nations. The Keeway RKS 125 is among the Keeway offerings accessible in Bangladesh, boasting a competitive bike price in BD.

Keeway, a European-registered motorcycle manufacturer under the ownership of China's Qianjiang Group, has successfully entered the Bangladeshi market. Aftab Automobiles Ltd serves as the channel through which Keeway connects with Bangladeshi riders. The Keeway RKS 125, part of the esteemed Keeway RK series, stands out as a popular commuter bike choice in Bangladesh, with competitive Keeway bike price in Bangladesh.

Key Features:

The Keeway RKS 125 inherits the DNA of the Keeway RKS 150, boasting a striking resemblance to its larger sibling. Designed as a sporty commuter bike, it deviates from the typical "COMMUTER" appearance seen in other bikes of this segment. Instead, its muscular design sets it apart as one of the best 125cc bikes in Bangladesh, combining sportiness and intrigue.

The Keeway RKS 125 comes with basic but very bright headlights. Both the headlight and taillight are halogen bulbs. The taillight looks very stylish and sharp. The indicators are also very sharp which contributes to it not being boring.

The Keeway RKS 125 comes in two colors. They are:

• Black.
• Red.

Both the colors come in a gloss finish and look very mature. The bike comes with very minimal decals, which are only the branding and the strip through the middle of the tank.

The most interesting aspect of the Keeway RKS 125 is the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster includes everything basic and more. It comes with a manual gear position indicator, a clock, and many more. This bike has an instrument cluster that any beginner or advanced rider would appreciate.

Physical Attributes:

The Keeway RKS 125 has an extremely low saddle height, of 760mm. The seat may be comfortable for riders under the height of 5’7”, but for bikers with a height more than that, the bike will be very uncomfortable to cope with. The bike also comes with a huge fuel capacity of 16 liters. The fuel capacity makes the bike extremely suitable for highway rides.

The length, width, height, and weight of the Keeway RKS 125 are 2090mm, 760mm, 1090mm, and 125kg respectively. The bike is not very heavy, nor is it very light, but it is of the perfect weight to be a 125cc bike. The bike also has a wheelbase of 1350mm, which makes it fairly balanced.

Engine and Transmission:

The Keeway RKS 125 comes with a 4-stroke, single-cylinder, and 125cc engine. The engine is air-cooled and is carbureted. The engine pumps out 11.3BHP of power at 8500rpm, and 10Nm of torque at 7000rpm. The torque kicks in quite late, so the bike is not going to be very aggressive, rather will be very smooth and have slow acceleration. The bike is also very fuel efficient; it has an average mileage of around 50kmpl.

The Keeway RKS 125 comes with a basic wet multi-plate clutch. The bike also has a 5-speed gearbox, which also increases the power delivery at the top end.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The Keeway RKS 125 is equipped with a disc-drum braking system, enhancing its safety features. However, it's worth noting that the front disc brake, while effective, can be quite sensitive, causing abrupt stops if the brake lever is pressed too hard. As a result, experienced riders may prefer to rely primarily on the front brake.

In terms of suspension, the front of the Keeway RKS 125 features telescopic forks, though they are concealed by a somewhat unattractive spring cover. These forks offer 110mm of travel, providing sufficient support for navigating the often uneven city roads in Bangladesh. On the other hand, the rear suspension consists of a spring-loaded oil-filled telescopic system with a limited 30mm of travel, which might lead to discomfort for passengers.

The Keeway RKS 125 rides on alloy wheels, with a front tire measuring 90/17 and a rear tire sized at 120/17. While the rear tire may appear small, it complements the bike's overall design and purpose effectively. The harmonious sizing of both the front and rear tires contributes to the bike's well-balanced performance.

Target Audience:

The Keeway RKS 125 is for the regular commuter. The person who wishes to buy a bike for the sole purpose of commuting and maybe some short trips out of town. The bike is well built and will be able to withstand the tortures of the city traffic and the bumpy roads of Bangladesh. New riders just getting to know the ropes of riding will also like this bike and will also find this bike to be easy to learn.

Overall, when considering all bike price in Bangladesh, the Keeway RKS 125 stands out as a commendable 125cc commuter option within the 125cc to 135cc category. It upholds the Keeway brand's reputation with its impressive features and affordability.
