In a class of its ownwith the agility of a 125 and enough muscle to take the fight to the 250cc 4-strokes, this bike punches well above its weight. Its snarling engine sets benchmarks in terms of power and torque, rocketing its state-of-the-art chassis miles ahead of the competition. The top step of the podium does have the unmistakable scent of 2-stroke premix exhaust. Features may include:featherweightthe main target for the ktm engineers when developing the sx models was a massive weight reduction compared to the previous generation. The result: the current sx models are the slimmest, lightest bikes on the track. The large twin-air filter is mounted in a stiff cage, which at the same time holds the system in place. Framethe high-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame is engineered for excellent handling, precise cornering and supreme stability. In short: more comfort and less rider fatigue. Laterally attached, lightweight engine head stays contribute to a reduced vibration level. The engineers were able to pull off all that, while making the frame two pounds lighter than that of the lightest competitor on the market. In addition, the frame is easier to maintain, easier to work on and supplies more space for the tank and other components. The bike also features an extra-light aluminum subframe, which weighs in at less than 2 pounds. Footpegssophisticated ´no dirt´ footpegs prevent clogging of the footpeg pivot, even when digging in deep ruts. Then just mount the footpegs of the my2017 exc models, which are 6mm higher than the sx versions. The single-component casting process eliminates any inconsistencies and inherent weak points created by welding. It’s better looking as well. Fuel tanka lightweight polyethylene tank has a capacity of 1. 85 gallons. The filler cap has an inside thread, which makes for easy and reliable closure. Handlebarktm engineers sure know how to handle handlebars. This tapered one, made of high-strength aluminum by neken, is fixed in damped rubber mounts and has two different positions. From 2017 onwards, the lower handlebar clamps are separated, while on the upper side a new bridge-type clamp guarantees more torsional stiffness. It’s also easier to replace the bar in case it gets twisted in a nasty crash. Odi lock-on grips make grip changes easy which does not require any wire or glue to be secured. For 2017, a new cover gives its riders even more grip with better feel. Wheelsfeaturing lightweight, cnc machined hubs and high-end excel rims, they guarantee maximum stability and minimal unsprung weight. The wheels are shod with the latest dunlop geomax mx 3s tires. Cooling systemktm’s proven cooling system routes the coolant from the cylinder head through the frame triangle, directly to aluminum radiators made by wp. A new filler cap system and are stiffer alloy construction increase the durability and reliability of the cooling system. Due to flow optimized internal circulation and cfd-calculated air ventilation, the system is superbly efficient. In addition, well thought-out radiator guards integrated in the front part of the shrouds provide protection in a crash.
