Honda PCX125 vs KTM 500 EXC-F

The Honda PCX125 (2025) and the KTM 500 EXC-F (2025) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Honda PCX125 is a scooter with 125 cc, 12.3 hp and 134 kg; the KTM 500 EXC-F is a enduro bike with 511 cc, unlisted power and unlisted weight. Power-to-weight with the rider: 59.0 hp/ton versus no data.

In the simulation the Honda PCX125 covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 20.41 s and the KTM 500 EXC-F in 4.06 s; the KTM 500 EXC-F is quicker by 16.35 s. In the 60-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 16.3 m for the Honda PCX125 (with ABS) and 18.5 m for the KTM 500 EXC-F (ABS unknown, class assumption: no ABS). The Honda PCX125 stops 2.2 m shorter. The standard 60-0 test is used because one calculated top speed is below 110 km/h. Calculated top speed: 92 km/h (GPS measurement) versus 158 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Honda PCX125 and class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the KTM 500 EXC-F. Missing manufacturer data (power, torque, weight) is estimated by class regression, not measured. Open the interactive app (currently in Turkish) to watch the run side by side and change the load.
