KTM introduces the 2016MY SX motocross range, which 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, along with a strong influence from the motorsports department that has recently celebrated KTM’s first ever 450SX World Championship title by Ryan Dungey, as well as the East 250SX title from Marvin Musquin, while also not forgetting the two World Motocross Championship title wins last year, KTM presents the new range, which will be available globally from June onwards.

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 capable 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 (US models continue to be fitted with a refined version of the WP 4CS fork system), 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.
