Chassis
Fuel tank
Don’t let its 2.3 liter fuel capacity fool you – the 2023 KTM 50 SX is no slouch when it comes to going full race distance.
Frame
This modern frame is made from lightweight, high strength chromoly steel profiles and combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional rigidity. It guarantees easy handling and precise cornering, but also outstanding stability at speed.
Wheels
Like the full-size KTM Factory racers, the 2023 KTM 50 SX is fitted with lightweight, black anodized, aluminum rims which provide the highest strength and durability for any eventuality. These are wrapped in new MAXXIS MX-ST tires, to provide unmatched traction on any surface.
Front suspension
The KTM 50 SX boasts a modern WP XACT fork with AER technology – just like the big bikes! The upside-down front fork with a 35 mm tube diameter and 205 mm of travel ensures outstanding comfort, damping characteristics and directional stability. Another main benefit for junior riders is that the air spring fitted in the left fork leg can be adjusted perfectly to the rider’s weight using a simple air pump.
Rear suspension
The high quality WP XACT shock absorber is linked directly to the swingarm, providing excellent damping performance. It is fully adjustable, meaning you can set the damping perfectly to suit any growing young racer and track conditions. The shock absorber allows for 185 mm of rear wheel travel, meaning less chance of bottoming out.
Brakes
The KTM 50 SX is fitted with front and rear hydraulic brakes by FORMULA, combined with lightweight wave discs that are easy to control even for the youngest riders, helping to build thier confidence, and taching them correct brake control.
