KTM ready to race - SX model range 2018 arriving in dealers soon
KTM is pleased to announce that its world-beating motocross line-up has received further refinements for model year 2018, and includes a brand new #ktm #85sx machine for junior riders as part of the class- leading SX range.
With its 2-stroke and 4-stroke machines, from the #ktm #50sx to the #ktm #450sxf ultimate powerhouse, #ktm offers high quality serial equipment in all of its motocross range. As developed for its factory #racing teams, which have won numerous races and championships, including last year’s AMA 450 Supercross title with Ryan Dungey (http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/ryan-dungey/), as well as the FIM MX2 World Championship with Jeffrey Herlings (http://www.ktm.com/racing/mx/riders/jeffrey-herlings/), these #ktm serial machines are renowned for being READY TO RACE right out of the crate.
For model year 2018 #ktm introduces a brand new #ktm #85sx for junior riders that are cutting their teeth in the schoolboy ranks. With the serious competitor in mind, this machine has a new engine that is 0.69 kg lighter than the previous model, with improved power and rideability throughout the complete RPM range. In addition, the #ktm #85sx receives a lighter chassis with a revised chromium molybdenum steel frame as crafted by WP Performance Systems, as well as a lighter subframe. This
READY TO RACE Mini, which joins the #ktm #50sx and #ktm #65sx in KTM’s line-up of premium junior equipment, is fitted with high-quality Formula brakes, WP AER 43 forks and a specifically developed WP Xplor progressive damping system (PDS) shock absorber, which provides excellent sensitivity and outstanding bottoming resistance with full adjustability.
In the adult range the #ktm #125sx and #ktm 150 SX now feature new aluminum head stays, as well as a new CDI control unit for improved starting behaviors. As with all of #ktm serial equipment, the 4- stroke range, including the #ktm 250 SX-F, #ktm 350 SX-F and #ktm #450sxf, boasts high-quality, class-leading components from the all-important E-starter, to the WP suspension, traction control and map selection, and much more to compliment the super lightweight, yet powerful championship winning engines.
In addition, the complete model year 2018 SX range including both 2-stroke and 4-stroke machines feature revised suspension settings in the WP AER 48 forks, along with a factory-looking orange frame plus, brand new graphics to finish the look.
“Once again our engineers in the #ktm R&D department in Mattighofen, Austria have refined the very successful SX range. The adult bikes showcase a sportier look just like the factory bikes with their orange frames, while we’ve also spent some time working on the Mini range for the developing juniors and stars of tomorrow. In particular the incredibly successful #ktm #85sx has had a real overhaul with its new chassis, engine and suspension, which have been re-designed for improved rideability whatever the level of rider. As always these bikes are READY TO RACE right out of the crate and we look forward to releasing the SX model year 2018 range,” said Joachim Sauer, Product Marketing Offroad.
