2012 KTM SX Range

MAXIMUM TRACTION FOR THE NEW
KTM MOTOCROSS MODELS 2012
Following its successes with the 2010 Motocross World
Championship and the latest launch of a completely
new generation of Enduro bikes, KTM, the market leader
in the production of offroad motorcycles now presents
the latest range of state-of-the-art machines that
are equipped for Motocross tracks. The highlight is
the new chassis with linkage for the 125 SX, 150 SX
and 250 SX two-stroke motocross bikes.
The motocross track just adjacent to the Munich Airport
is the setting for the official launch of the 2012
motocross models. Even though there have been a lot
of updates to the bikes, some things never change.
The latest motocross bikes from Mattighofen (Austria)
are direct descendants from the same motocross and
supercross factory machines that are so successful
all over the world, and they profit from the excellent
interaction between motorcycle racing and series development
which is a hallmark of KTM.
Also unchanged is the unique depth of the KTM motocross
range. In the 2012 season it spans everything from
the 50 SX for hungry young sporting wannabes right
up to the winning motorcycles in the MX1 category,
the 350 SX-F and the 450 SX-F. In between, KTM offers
a seamless range of high quality two and four-stroke
machines for every track, every championship and every
rider.
The main development goal for the KTM technicians
was to let all the successes from the 2010 season
- thanks to Antonio Cairoli (MX1), Marvin Musquin
(MX2) and Steffi Laier (WMX), who were all world champions
of their classes – seamlessly flow into the
latest series models. The most important change that
has come out of this is the adaptation of the chassis
with linkage, which has now been built into the entire
two-stroke range of fullsized bikes. With this, and
through the further developed USD fork with a diameter
of 48 mm and closed cartridge technology from WP Suspension,
all the suspension components have been improved even
further.
Dozens of visibly obvious modifications that can
be felt first hand underline KTM’s commitment
to advance their leading position of their “Ready
to Race” sports machines even more!
