Technological Refinements from Track to Trail
The full-size SX and SX-F models continue to prioritize handling, traction, and adjustability. Riders can further personalize performance using the optional Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO), integrated with the KTMconnect app, which allows fine-tuning of engine mapping, traction control, and suspension behavior.
Other updates include improved radiator closure for easier maintenance, a new protector cap for the fuel injection system, and enhanced durability through revised wiring harness routing—especially for the 2-stroke models.
Sportminicycles with Enhanced Performance
The 2026 Sportminicycle models, designed for young and developing riders, receive notable updates. The KTM 50 SX and 65 SX now feature a revised WP XACT AER front fork, new triple clamps with better sealing, and improved clutch components. The 85 SX receives a redesigned rear brake lever with two adjustable positions, catering to riders transitioning from smaller models.
Additional improvements include a new throttle cable cap for better resistance, a laser-cut exhaust flange gasket, and updates to the exhaust valve system to further enhance engine reliability.
The KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION, with its READY TO RACE PowerParts and factory-inspired graphics, continues to serve as an aspirational step for future racers.
