KTM has introduced the model year 2016 SX range, which is a completely new generation of motocross bikes that are lighter, faster and even more agile than before with a huge weight reduction thanks to a new chassis, revised engines along with the brand new AER 48 fork system by WP.

Thanks to the intense development work from the R&D departments in Mattighofen, Austria and the USA, KTM is proud to present the new serial production range.

This new Ready to Race generation of KTM SX models offers state-of-the-art technology combined with class-leading performance and the lowest weight in each class, which will set the benchmark for the Motocross world.

Compared to previous models, over 90% of the parts are new, as the KTM engineers aimed at increasing performance, improving handling and reducing weight of these already world-dominating machines, despite still including the all-important electric starter. Key improvements include the innovative AER 48 Air Fork design developed by WP in close collaboration with KTM, plus a newly designed chassis with a new frame, subframe, footpegs, swingarm, linkage and rear shock to provide improved mass centralization and reduced weight for better handling (all models except 250 SX).

A full range of completely new smaller and lighter 4-stroke engines, plus a new 125cc 2-stroke, have been developed with a totally new architecture design, which offers increased performance, while also working in harmony with the new chassis. The 4-stroke range now has a state-of-the-art launch control system, an updated EMS with a faster ECU, as well as a new throttle body and different riding modes. The vision is simple: The KTM engineers wanted to make their new bikes faster than ever before.

Joachim Sauer, KTM Offroad Product manager said: "We are excited to deliver a new generation of SX models, which have been developed in collaboration with many experts in our R&D department, professional racers, our motorsports department and together with WP."

The KTM junior range has also received detail updates for the 50 SX, 65 SX and 85 SX, and KTM continues to offer a full range of motorcycles for any kind of riding level for youngsters to progress, as well as adult novice to professional level MXGP and Supercross
