2027 KTM 65 SX Base

2027 KTM 65 SX

The journey starts here. The first prime platform in the KTM Sportminicycle range will satisfy any youngster's thirst for fun, speed, adventure and that unquenchable desire to learn. The KTM 50 SX is built around an advanced steel frame, housing a powerful engine, an updated WP XACT AER fork, and a WP XACT monoshock. Reliability, durability, and READY TO RACE aesthetics and spirit means it is the only choice for small kids and the big ones too!

Features may include:

• A digital ignition from Hidria finds its way onto the KTM 65 SX, with improved processing power and ignition curve, making for a cleaner burn and smoother power delivery. The throttle assembly benefits from a stabilization cap that extends the lifetime of the cable by reducing the risk of kinking and damage.

• A lighter, more ergonomic kickstart lever makes firing the KTM 65 SX a cinch for little legs. Not only has the kickstart lever been designed to match the frame and engine design perfectly. It also ensures easy access for quick restarts while being perfectly packaged to be out of the way when tearing up the berms.

• A proven Mikuni TM 24 carburetor takes a prime position in producing the goods in the KTM 65 SX, with settings that work perfectly in harmony with the engine, exhaust, and air intake design.

• The KTM 65 SX is designed to grow with young racers thanks to multiple adjustability options. Different adjustment possibilities were built into the KTM 65 SX construction using scientific statistical data and ergonomic mannequins. Finding the perfect fit for your junior ripper is easy thanks to height-adjustable suspension, adjustable handlebar positioning, subframe, and bodywork. This allows the seat height to be adjusted from a low setting of 715 mm up to 760 mm, while the KTM 65 SX comes standard from the factory with a seat height of 730 mm.

• Featuring the latest in 2-stroke technology, the KTM 65 SX sets the benchmark at the starting gate. Besides using the lightest and most durable materials, the engine features a pressure-controlled exhaust valve that delivers top-level performance through its manual 6-speed transmission. The mounting concept for the crankshaft also makes for easier maintenance.

• The KTM 65 SX features a high-performance cylinder made from lightweight and durable aluminum that incorporates a pressure-controlled exhaust valve (PCEV), providing unrivaled performance.

• From general durability to overall quality, the transmission maintains the same legendary performance but now presents a more comprehensive and hardy unit. This is paired with a forged shift lever offering improved functionality, while the reliable and light hydraulic clutch system guarantees even wear and near maintenance-free operation. A shift shaft and drum ensures better gear changing and increased quality while the clutch itself receives a boost in quality with a high-strength pre-coat and increased tightening torque for reliable fastening of the whole assembly.

• There's no more worrying about breaking the plug, thanks to the KTM 65 SX featuring a spark plug from BRISK with a longer thread. Also, thanks to this innovation, the part number is printed on the spark plugs for easy reading - even while screwed in place.
