Great power; awesome brakes;
top build quality
Might be too soft for heavier riders
and feel comfortable while doing so.
The feel of the bike is really nice – it
turns on a dime and seems to track
really well both under braking and
when you are getting on the gas.
KTM has shaved a bit of weight off
the SX for this year’s model (2018)
by swapping a few steel bits with
aluminium (engine mounts etc). It’s
not the kind of thing you notice as
it’s only about 1kg, but less weight
is a bonus. The brakes on the SX are
pretty awesome – they’ll stop you
as quickly as you might ever need.
I’d say this bike will suit almost any
rider, especially the smaller or lighter
rider, who has good riding ability.
