Updated livery is what’s on offer for the 2022 KTM motocross range. All full-size 2022 KTM SX models introduce a frame finishing coated in racing orange much like the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing stars. The updated frame aligns with the new blue seat cover and the fresh colors in the graphics to emphasize visually the close link to KTM’s Factory machinery.
Like the MY21 range, the 2022 four-stroke range includes three models: the 450 SX-F, 350 SX-F and 250 SX-F. They all feature the latest WP XACT suspension technology and other bits like Traction Control, Launch Control, variable engine mapping and reliable starters. The 2022 KTM 450 SX-F produces a claimed 63 hp.
The two-stroke range includes three models: the KTM 125 SX, 150 SX and 250 SX.
Complementing KTM’s 2022 SX range is a series of Sportminicycles that share the exact same race-driven development approach as KTM’s full-size motocross bikes. This includes the KTM 50 SX, 65 SX and 85 SX. They also run WP suspension and other high-end components. For tech-savvy riders, the wheels can start rolling with the 2022 KTM SX-E 5, the latest incarnation of a high-end electric mini-crosser.
KTM’s Product Manager Offroad, Joachim Sauer said: “The new SX range is all about the proximity to our race machinery, and the bikes that are doing the business on racetracks around the continents. We’ve been refining these packages for several years and we feel the connection, both aesthetically but also in terms of performance, is now closer than ever. To prove our point, we gave production bikes to MXGP and MX2 World Champions and I’m glad to confirm they were surprised and impressed with their performance. It was fitting to give the 2022 models an even ‘racier’ look with the blue and orange design and to remind riders and fans that there isn’t a more READY TO RACE motocross range in any paddock anywhere.”
The 2022 KTM SX models will be available at authorised KTM dealers in Australia and New Zealand from July 2021 onwards.
