The KTM 350 SX-F’s crankshaft features a stiff design and utilizes a short, lightweight connecting rod, contributing to the incredibly dynamic and efficient power delivery. The big end bearing features two force-fitted bearing shells, which run directly on the crank pin. This design is a prerequisite for the extremely high engine speed levels and the unrivalled power of the 350 cc. The design also enhances durability, allowing for long crankshaft service intervals, resulting in less effort and cost – and more time spent on two wheels.
