New 2023 KTM 450SX-F

The 2023 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION brings factory racing-levels of capability to the privateer pits. With limited units being built, it is as exclusive as the weaponry used by the official Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team. Blending Factory Racing graphics and top-shelf racing componentry, the 2023 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION doesnt only look the part - it shreds too.

Features may include:

• Easy Suspension Adjustment

Both front and rear suspension make use of a totally tool-free suspension setup. Thanks to an all-new shock absorber design featuring hand-adjustable dual compression control, it allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front end, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to a single air pressure preload valve, as well as through easy access click adjusters for compression and rebound. Well even throw the air pump in as standard.

• More Usable Power

The 2023 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION announces its presence at the starting gate with thunder-like percussion. Thanks in part to its lightweight Akrapovic silencer and manic 4-stroke powerplant, it sets the bar even while at idle. With class-leading power output and an overall engine weight of only 59 lb (26.8 kg), youll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

• Absolute Control

No matter how gnarly the track is, youll stay in complete control thanks to a class-leading frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity but also repositions rotating mass closer to the center of gravity. The shock mounting also provides improved anti-squat behavior to better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position has moved inwards for less risk of hooking up in deep ruts or when scrubbing jumps.

• Mass Centralization

Ready to rip your arms out of the sockets? Together with the benefits of mass centralization and an overall lighter feel, the anti-squat behavior of the chassis is significantly improved by changing the backbone of the steel frame concept. In laymans terms, the 2023 KTM 450 SX-F gets its power down perfectly when tearing out of corners.

• Energy absorption

Besides the expertly crafted, hydro-formed, laser-cut, and robot-welded frame being engineered to provide exceptional rider feedback and straight-line stability, it consists of specifically calculated parameters of longitudinal and torsional flex. This means the frame acts as a shock absorber of sorts, making for a less harsh ride, resulting in less rider fatigue over many hard laps.
