Better traction means holeshot heaven! UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE Performance The KTM 250 SX has always represented the very best of unsurpassed power and lightweight construction. The simplicity and low maintenance cost of the 2-stroke motor have made it a favorite amongst motocross riders for generations. The KTM 250 SX enters the race paddock with an overall engine weight of only 52.6 lb (23,9 kg), setting the motor as the benchmark in the highly competitive 250 cc class. Calm Under Fire FLUID RIDER MOTION Ergonomics Tank shrouds using bi-compound plastics channel air towards the radiators more efficiently, while a concise fuel tank roll, makes for a tighter, more secure fitment, reducing the chance of frame scrubbing and dramatically improving durability. All this works alongside the specially-developed rider triangle, to provide unmatched knee contact and gripping surfaces - especially when standing on the pegs. SLEEKER FOR YOU TO SCRUB CLEANER Absolute Control Get ready for a full-on berm assault. The KTM SX and SX-F machines feature revised frame updates developed with input from KTM Factory Racing.

The front area of the frame features optimized wall thickness with updated engine mounts. Hit The Big Stuff DIGGING THE DIRT Tires Getting power hooked into the dirt is a tough job. However, hours of research and testing have led the KTM Motocross range to the Dunlop GEOMAX MX34. Providing unmatched stability and control at the highest level, the rubber features a rigid carcass and rubber compound that improves damping and absorption, maintaining performance up to 30% longer than previous models. Progressive Cornering Block Technology also improves grip in the berms, while the rear pattern has a tall and wide center block for desirable traction and control everywhere else. Lastly, this unique block arrangement works to dispel mud buildup, ensuring traction in even the muddiest of track conditions. UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END WP XACT Fork Let's get the technical parts out of the way first; the 48 mm WP XACT AER forks fitted to the KTM SX and SX-F line-up features a capsulated air spring and pressurized oil chamber for progressive and consistent damping, while oil and air bypasses reduce pressure peaks.
