The new generation of the KTM 450 SX-F 2013

KTM has announced the launch of the second generation of its spectacular 450 SX-F Factory Edition model. This new model has been developed in collaboration with the Red Bull KTM Team, with work carried out by both the Australian and United States departments, so a great deal of efficiency and close contact between the two countries to bring us a machine that goes further, more developed, improved and with a clear orange touch.

Each special edition model comes with a limited edition label, which includes the unit’s model number, with 555 bikes for the USA and 155 for Europe, so high demand is expected among users following the experience with the previous model in this range, and part of this success is also thanks to the success achieved by Ryan Dungey in the AMA Supercross USA.

The work carried out has brought the machine to the current limits of riding and innovation. This edition follows the new generation of 450cc, with fuel injection, single-cam, four-stroke engine that has been specifically tuned for motocross; the engine cases and clutch cover have been redesigned to minimise weight by eliminating the kickstarter, saving 0.5 kg, and further reinforce the effectiveness of KTM’s electric starting system for competition.

In addition, the machine also features a map switch to make it easier to adjust cornering power delivery, and a counter to help track maintenance intervals. We will have to wait a little to see its competition debut, but soon we will see it at the AMA Supercross on January 5th in Anaheim. At dealerships we will have to wait until the end of next month.

A beauty to race, a beauty to ride, a beauty and pure KTM thoroughbred at your dealership.
