KTM has recently introduced the new SX range, which is a completely new generation of motocross bikes that are lighter, faster and even more agile than ever before.

This new ‘ready to race’ generation of KTM SX models offers state-of-the-art technology combined with class-leading performance and the lowest weight in each class, which will set the benchmark for the Motocross world.

Compared to previous models, over 90 per cent of the parts are new. KTM’s engineers aimed at increasing performance, improving handling and reducing weight, despite still including the all-important electric starter. Key improvements include the innovative AER 48 Air Fork design developed by WP in close collaboration with KTM, plus a newly designed chassis with a new frame, subframe, footpegs, swingarm, linkage and rear shock to provide improved mass centralisation and reduced weight for better handling (all models except the 250 SX).

A full range of completely new smaller and lighter four-stroke engines, plus a new 125cc two-stroke version, have been developed with a totally new architecture design, which offers increased performance, while also working in harmony with the new chassis. The four-stroke range now has a state-of-the-art launch control system, an updated EMS with a faster ECU, as well as a new throttle body and different riding modes.

The KTM junior range has also received detail updates for the 50 SX, 65 SX and 85 SX, with the marquee continuing to offer a full range of motorcycles for any kind of riding levels.
