2018 KTM 150SX

With the agility of a 125 and enough muscle to take the fight to the 250cc 4-strokes, this bike punches well above its weight. Its snarling engine sets benchmarks in terms of power and torque, rocketing its state-of-the-art chassis miles ahead of the competition. The top step of the podium does have the unmistakable scent of 2-stroke premix exhaust.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

The engine of the KTM 150 SX was developed with the latest know-how and state-of-the-art technology. That’s the only way to craft class-leading power all across the rev range. This is the lightest and most compact 150cc firecracker you’ll find. So prepare for surprisingly fast lap times and baffling rideability. As this motorcycle shares many of its key components with the class-leading KTM 125 SX, the cylinder, head and piston unit can now also be fitted on a 125cc engine base converting it to a KTM 150 SX without replacing the crankshaft. Buy one, get one free. Nearly.

READY TO RACE ergonomics give you the edge on the track, ride harder for longer.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and all our factory riders had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the SX. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer.
