2013 KTM 65SX Review
2013 KTM 65SX
The 2013 KTM 65 SX is the only motorcycle to consider for up-and-coming riders from the 50cc class. With a six-speed transmission, racing suspension and high-quality components, the 65 SX provides everything necessary for having plenty of fun and laying the foundations for a promising MX career. Its unrivalled peak power and fully-adjustable suspension components reinforce its claim to holeshots and championships.
2013 KTM 65SX Features and Benefits
GRAPHICS + COLORS
The latest styling of the 2013 KTM 65 SX is derived directly from the full-size SX and makes it look like one of the big bikes. As on all other SX models, the frame on the KTM 65 SX also has a new, hard-wearing, anthracite metallic coating.
FRAME + SUSPENSION COMPONENTS
Both the WP upside-down telescopic fork with 35 mm (1.38 in) diameter outer tubes and 215 mm (8.46 in) suspension travel and the WP shock absorber have adjustable rebound and compression damping. The stable steel frame on the 2013 65 SX has a bolted-on, light alloy subframe.
BRAKES
The brake system has been developed by brake specialist Formula specially for the KTM 65 SX. At both front and rear, heavy-duty 4-piston brake calipers bite hard into the lightweight 198 mm (7.8 in) and 160 mm (6.3 in) wave-type brake discs.
