2022 KTM 450 SX-F, 2022 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition

READY TO RACE has never been more accurately defined than with the 2022 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION. With its development based on feedback and success of Red Bull KTM Factory Racing riders around the globe, and 400 units-only exclusivity, it is the perfect mount for budding supercross champions.

Features may include:

• Engine

The 2022 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION is powered by a lightweight, but heavy-hitting brute of an engine. Punching out 63 HP, but weighing in at only 26.8 kg, this SOHC powerplant is the undisputed champion of holeshots. For 2023, the engine has been rotated 2 degrees backward, resulting in a 3 mm lower front sprocket position. The benefits? Dramatically improved mass-centralization makes for easier handling and maneuverability with better anti-squat behavior.

Few sporting disciplines are as demanding on man and machine as professional supercross with riders experiencing G-forces of up to 14Gs multiple times a race. The KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION chassis takes this into account and focuses on improved energy absorption, getting the power down more effectively, and improving overall acceleration. In other words, it makes it easier for rider to go faster.

• Footpegs

An all-new die-cast footpeg design offers a larger surface to step on while being less susceptible to hook on deep ruts, take-offs when scrubbing, or track barriers, while ensuring riders maintain full control in any track condition. This is thanks to a new mounting concept integrated in the frame design which also saves weight, with less chance of clogging up.

• Decals

There is no mistaking the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION for anything else at the starting gate. With a full-factory racing look and high-tech in-mold application, sponsor logos and graphic design elements are sure to stay put - even after a full season of hard racing.

• Map Selection

A new map select switch comes standard on the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION and takes care of launch control, engine mapping, Quickshifter and activates traction control - on the fly. Map 1 produces a more linear power spread for tricker conditions, while map 2 unleashes the full READY TO RACE experience with sharper throttle response and explosive power delivery for all-out battles.
