2027 KTM 65 SX STEP ON UP! The journey starts here. The first prime platform in the KTM Sportminicycle range will satisfy any youngster's thirst for fun, speed, adventure and that unquenchable desire to learn. The KTM 50 SX is built around an advanced steel frame, housing a powerful engine, an updated WP XACT AER fork, and a WP XACT monoshock. Reliability, durability, and READY TO RACE aesthetics and spirit means it is the only choice for small kids and the big ones too! Before The Gate Carburetor A proven Mikuni TM 24 carburetor takes a prime position in producing the goods in the KTM 65 SX, with settings that work perfectly in harmony with the engine, exhaust, and air intake design. Adjustablity The KTM 65 SX is designed to grow with young racers thanks to multiple adjustability options. Different adjustment possibilities were built into the KTM 65 SX construction using scientific statistical data and ergonomic mannequins. Finding the perfect fit for your junior ripper is easy thanks to height-adjustable suspension, adjustable handlebar positioning, subframe, and bodywork. This allows the seat height to be adjusted from a low setting of 715 mm up to 760 mm, while the KTM 65 SX comes standard from the factory with a seat height of 730 mm. Ignition A digital ignition from Hidria finds its way onto the KTM 65 SX, with improved processing power and ignition curve, making for a cleaner burn and smoother power delivery. The throttle assembly benefits from a stabilization cap that extends the lifetime of the cable by reducing the risk of kinking and damage. Kickstarter A lighter, more ergonomic kickstart lever makes firing the KTM 65 SX a cinch for little legs. Not only has the kickstart lever been designed to match the frame and engine design perfectly. It also ensures easy access for quick restarts while being perfectly packaged to be out of the way when tearing up the berms. Start Strong Easy Servicing Servicing and general maintenance are made simple, thanks to draining noses for liquids and added service markers on the engine () that clearly show where to use washers, making maintenance and service easier than before. Nm markings clearly show how to tighten relevant screws to avoid overtightened or too loose bolts. Many of the screws on the engine case have also been unified to the same screw length on the engine case. Performance Featuring the latest in 2-stroke technology, the KTM 65 SX sets the benchmark at the starting gate. Besides using the lightest and most durable materials, the engine features a pressure-controlled exhaust valve that delivers top-level performance through its manual 6-speed transmission. The mounting concept for the crankshaft also makes for easier maintenance. Cylinder The KTM 65 SX features a high-performance cylinder made from lightweight and durable aluminum that incorporates a pressure-controlled exhaust valve (PCEV), providing unrivaled performance. Transmission From general durability to overall quality, the transmission maintains the same legendary performance but now presents a more comprehensive and hardy unit. This is paired with a forged shift lever offering improved functionality, while the reliable and light hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear and near maintenance-free operation. A shift shaft and drum ensures better gear changing and increased quality while the clutch itself receives a boost in quality with a high-strength pre-coat and increased tightening torque for reliable fastening of the whole assembly. Spark Plug There's no more worrying about breaking the plug, thanks to the KTM 65 SX featuring a spark plug from BRISK with a longer thread. Also, thanks to this innovation, the part number is printed on the spark plugs for easy reading - even while screwed in place. Calm Under Fire Frame The KTM 65 SX boasts a high-strength chromium molybdenum steel frame design with forged connecting parts integrated into the frame. This together with carefully calculated parameters of longitudinal flex and torsional rigidity, allow tailormade stiffness and an unprecedented quality of the Mini frame could be achieved. The frame layout features a typical MX design without any cross tube behind the steering head. Like our full-size models, the rear shock mount is separated from the main upper frame tube. The frame also comes with frame protectors as standard. Airbox and Filter The airbox features a conventional suction sleeve made from a hard-wearing polyamide instead of rubber and a Twin Air filter mounting system that features snap locks for easy and intuitive mounting. The Twin Air filter is also placed under the seat and is easily accessible without any tools by simply removing the seat. It also features improved dirt intrusion resistance, with no more dirt falling into the intake tract when changing the filter. Ergonomics The bodywork of the KTM 65 SX is the perfect example of KTM's commitment to providing the ultimate starting point
