2011 KTM SX Model Lineup

The 350SX-F is the star of KTM s 2011 lineup. Developed by ten-time Motocross World Champion Stefan Everts, the 350SX-F has already made a splash in the FIM World MX1 Championship, with factory rider Tony Cairoli riding the bike to two Grand Prix wins and first overall in the standings.

The 350cc DOHC single-cylinder engine uses a 57.5mm stroke and 88mm bore. According to KTM, the 350SX-F offers the performance of a 450cc MX bike with the handling of a 250cc motorcycle. The KTM 350SX-F also features electronic fuel injection and electric start. The 350SX-F can also be retro-fitted with a kick-starter.

The 2011 two-stroke SX models will use PDS rear suspension system while the four-stroke SX-F models will use WP linkage rear suspension. According to KTM, the PDS system provides a more linear spring progression than the linkage system, making them a better fit for the two-stroke models. The linkage system has a high spring progression which benefits motocross and supercross conditions. Regardless of PDS or linkage suspension, all 2011 SX models will use a new cast aluminum springarm. Up front, all 2011 SX models will be equipped with 48mm WP upside-down forks.

The KTM 250SX-F receives engine updates for 2011 to take advantage of the updated intake port and exhaust. According to KTM, newly developed cams help improve torque. The 250SX-F will enter serial production with a kick starter but can be retro-fitted with an electric starter. The KTM 450SX-F also receives minor engine updates.

The 2011 models are expected at KTM dealers in June.
