2017 KTM 450 SX-F, 2017 KTM 85 SX 17/14 NO MORE KID'S GAME The riders of the junior class are no longer beginners. These are future champions fighting for victory, no matter if it is the a AMA Amateur National Title or Junior Motocross World Championship. In this scene, the 85 SX is considered the weapon of choice. With the most powerful engine in the field and a super lightweight, stable chassis, the only real competition comes from others racing on the 85 SX. Features may include: WHEELS Black coated high-end Excel rims, lightweight, CNC machined hubs and black spokes with lightweight aluminum nipples ensure the highest stability at minimum weight on the 85 SX. The OEM MAXXIS tires are renowned for their perfect traction and outstanding performance. FRAME Made of top quality chromoly steel with a lightweight, bolt-on aluminum rear subframe, the 85 SX frame ensures maximum stability at minimum weight. It has a rugged polymer coating in a noble black colour. SUSPENSION Up front of the 85 SX there is a pair of 43mm upside-down forks with 270mm of travel, while a PDS monoshock for the rear provides optimum traction and surface contact. These are both made by renowned supplier WP Suspension at the highest quality. Of course, rebound and compression damping can be adjusted separately for a quick and precise set-up to match the track and rider. BODYWORK Ergonomics and function of the bodywork is designed in such a way as to achieve complete harmony between rider and bike. GRAPHICS The revised, cool looking graphic design provides a striking new look based on the big bikes. Don t be surprised when someone mistakes you for a grown-up. ENGINE Cutting-edge 2-stroke technology, combined with a precise 6-speed gearbox and hydraulic clutch are the foundation of the 85 SX s superiority in all junior racing competition. CYLINDER The high performance cylinder with flow-optimized ports and a high precision exhaust control valve provides the engine with its unrivaled performance. CRANKSHAFT Thanks to its perfectly sized lightweight conrod, the crankshaft is distinguished by minimum vibrations and maximum durability. CLUTCH The hydraulic clutch mechanism by Formula ensures an easy clutch action and well-defined modulation on the 85 SX. HANDLEBARS The 85 SX has super strong, tapered handlebars made of high quality aluminum alloy with a bend that s perfect for motocross requirements. AIRBOX What is good for the bigger KTM off-road bikes cannot be bad for the 85 SX: an air filter change can be done within seconds without tools. BRAKES The Formula braking system with radial calipers four pistons in front, tw
2017 KTM 450 XC-F, 2017 KTM 450 XC-F HOLESHOT BRAGGING RIGHTS If maximum power is required, there is no other way but the 450 XC-F. The compact SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engine that delivers explosive but controllable power shares 95% of the parts with the bike of Ryan Dungey winning the AMA Supercross championship 2015. Features may include: AIRBOX The new airbox design offers maximum protection of the air filter against soiling, while ensuring maximum airflow in conjunction with lighter intake snorkel that is made of a new material to reduce the deformation due to air intake pulse for improved performance. The new Twin Air filter is easier and safer to mount and can be changed without tools in seconds, a standard and original KTM feature. BATTERY AND WIRING HARNESS As in the past, all new XC-F engines are fitted with the proven electric starter - a unique KTM feature and a major benefit at all levels of motocross racing. For MY 2017 the XC-F range fits a super compact and lightweight lithium-ion starter battery, providing safe starting of the engine while reducing the weight significantly. SEAT Ergonomically perfect, the new seat has a higher foam volume, which offers great comfort and durability, while weighing the same as the previous model. BRAKES High-tech Brembo brakes have always been standard equipment on KTM off-road bikes, and combined with the lightweight Galfer Wave discs, they are the ultimate solution in braking technology. FRAME The new frame design provides approximately 20 % higher torsional rigidity and 30 % less longitudinal stiffness, with newly designed engine stays for less vibration. This increased flexibility results in better absorption of the energy created from the front and rear wheel loads supporting the suspension for more comfort and less rider fatigue. A 0.4° steeper steering angle and a 10 mm shorter wheel base contribute to better handling, and last but not least it´s lighter than the previous model. GRAPHICS New modern in-mold graphics highlight the Ready to Race character of the cutting-edge 2017 XC-F range of bikes. HANDLEBAR The new generation XC-F models are equipped with a new tapered handlebar made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN, which is fixed in a new rubber damped handlebar clamp allowing the handlebar to be mounted in two different positions. All 4-Stroke models feature a new throttle assembly with model-specific throttle cams for different opening characteristics and new ODI grips featuring lock-on fixing clamp on the left-hand side. FOOTPEG A new sophisticated "No-Dirt" footpeg solution prevents dirt from blocking the pegs in order to keep them in the correct position, even when dragging in deep ruts. In addition, the new footpegs are larg
