KTM RELEASE CAIROLI & ROCZEN
REPLICAS
 
Limited edition versions of MX1 & MX2 championship-winning
bikes KTM has released details on two limited edition
versions of its 2012 250 & 350 SX-F motocross
machines in celebration of once again winning the
MX1 and MX2 world championships with Antonio ‘Tony’
Cairoli and Ken Roczen.
Priced at £7595 and £7895,
the ‘Cairoli’ and ‘Roczen’
replicas are built to honour the riders and take the
2012 350 and 250 SX-F machines to the very next level.
More than just a trick graphics set and an orange
steel backbone frame, the additional cost over the
base models gains an enviable spec list; including
Factory triple clamps, black Excel rims and Renthal
bars, SXS seat and front brake disc guard and handguards.
Both four-stroke powerplants are protected
by a high-tensile aluminium engine guard, feature
a CNC-machined clutch cover, have a lightweight Factory
start system and an Akrapovic titanium silencer. Increased
performance for the Roczen 250 bike comes via the
SXS Performance Kit.
In 2011, Tony Cairoli managed to defend
his MX1 World Championship title on the 350 SX-F in
his second season as a KTM factory rider. In total,
Cairoli has won no less than 23 heats in two years
for KTM.
The 26-year old Italian’s weapon
of choice is the revolutionary 350 SX-F, the brainchild
of ten-times World Champion and current head of KTM’s
MX2 factory team, Stefan Everts. A fantastic MX bike
whose versatility is hard to beat: it combines nearly
the power of a 450 with the agility of a 250 –
the winning combination in the big boys’ class!
In the MX2 class, KTM rookie Ken Roczen
picked up where his teammate, Marvin Musquin, left
off in 2010. Winning an impressive 19 heats on the
250 SX-F, the 17-year-old from Mattstedt, Germany,
defended KTM’s no.1 status in the MX2 World
Championship to make it four consecutive titles for
the Austrian manufacturer’s untouchable 250.
The two Factory replicas are available
from January 2012. Contact your nearest KTM dealer
or visit www.ktm.com for more information.
