NEW 2020 KTM SX BIKES DROP Not to be completely overshadowed by its Swedish stablemate, KTM also announced 2020 models with updates to three SX models announced this month. Following on from last year’s all-new KTM SX generation, for 2020 the two-stroke KTM 125SX, KTM 150SX and KTM 250SX, and the four-stroke KTM 250SX-F, KTM 350SX-F and KTM 450SX-F have received performance-enhancing engine updates to ensure they remain at the pointy end of the moto field. Developed with KTM’s test riders in Europe and the USA along with factory racers around the globe, the refinements for 2020 complement the high-quality serial components that the KTM SX range already boasts. 20 KIWI RIDER New graphics and colours give the range a fresh look, while an E-starter and a map select switch with integrated traction control and launch control on four-stroke machines, Brembo brakes, and No-Dirt footpegs are fitted as standard to the SX line-up. High-quality exhaust systems, plastics and seats join the reworked WP XACT suspension, which offers enhanced handling for the 2020 bikes. Junior riders aren’t forgotten, with the big guns who designed the dominant KTM MGXP machines turning their eyes upon reworking the small capacity bikes for the mini moto warriors out there.
