2018 KTM 250 SX-F, 2018 KTM 250 SX-F SMALL-BORE SUPERSTAR

The KTM 250 SX-F has been on top of the MX2 World Championship for many years now and just added another world title to its crowded trophy cabinet. But that’s no surprise. The combination of a powerful and torquey engine in a lightweight and agile ch***is is bound to place the KTM 250 SX-F onto podium after podium.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

The KTM 250 SX-F engine is known to be the strongest engine in the MX2 paddock. It screams at the top of its lungs at 14,000rpm, but is equally happy producing tons of torque and power across the rest of the rev range. Its compact architecture contributes to an excellent m*** centralization, supporting the rideability of the bike. And it only weighs 26.1kg. That’s including the incredibly beneficial E-starter.

• CH***IS

The main target for the KTM engineers when developing the SX models was a m***ive weight reduction compared to the previous generation. The result: the current SX-F models are the slimmest, lightest bikes in the competition, even though the 4-strokes are equipped with an electric starter as a standard feature, while the competition still needs to be kick started. You can just focus on kicking ***.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

READY TO RACE ergonomics give you the edge on the track, ride harder for longer.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and all our factory riders had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the SX-F. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer.
