The KTM 125 SX is fitted with a MIKUNI TMX carburetor. This 38mm flat slide carb lives to provide smooth and controllable power all the way up to the rev limitation. With a new intake manifold the carburetor is turned 7° in order to reduce the overflow of fuel. And it’s less sensitive to different […]

Black Excel rims and CNC-machined hubs ensure the strongest base of forward momentum on the KTM 85 SX. Maxxis tires have been fitted to deliver exceptional straight-line stability and excellent traction on a wide variety of terrain, ensuring the power ends up where it is intended – on the ground.

Made from lightweight aluminum, the new subframe features a shorter and more compact profile. It is now 75mm shorter and 0.2kg lighter, which not only contributes to the overall weight reduction but also improves mass centralization.

The KTM 85 SX features a WP Xplor PDS (Progressive Damping System) rear shock absorber. The design offers a high progression rate and excellent response. It provides the wheel with a total of 305 mm of travel and is fully adjustable for preload, compression and rebound.

The KTM 85 SX front fork features the same suspension technology found in the full-size motocross range. The WP AER 43 consists of a split fork design with a capsuled air spring in the left leg and the trusted oil damping system in the right leg. It offers a significant improvement in suspension performance with […]

The frame on the KTM 85 SX is a scaled down version of the championship-proven full-size frames. It is professionally crafted using hydro formed Chromium Molybdenum steel tubes that are robot welded, ensuring the highest levels of consistent quality. The flex characteristics have been specifically tailored for easy handling and optimal comfort, while working in […]

The KTM 85 SX features the Formula brake system with radial calipers – four pistons in front, two in the rear – with lightweight Wave brake discs – front 240 mm diameter, rear 210 mm. The system is the benchmark in terms of controlled action and braking performance, ensuring powerful and confident braking.

The KTM 85 SX airbox is designed to optimize the small space available to deliver the best possible performance, while still maintaining the highest level of filter protection. The air filter is esily accessed, without tools, by removing the left side panel. Knowing that air literally breathes power into the motor, KTM has ensured that […]

The KTM 85 SX features a strong, lightweight tapered aluminum handlebar, with a specifically shaped bend to suit the overall ergonomics.
