2011 250 SXF NOW HAS FUEL INJECTION

• The new generation presents itself with a further developed, stronger engine including fuel injection and the option to include an electric start with small effort.

2011 SX FRAMES

2011 SX 4 STROKES NOW USE PRO-LEVER LINKAGE REAR SUSPENSION

• High-tech steel frame that weighs less than the lightest competitor.
• Compared to our previous SX frames the MY 2011 frame design provides higher torsional and reduced longitudinal stiffness. In addition it is designed to absorb energy created from the rear wheel impacts.
• New frame design benefits the new 2-strokes and Pro-Lever Linkage rear suspension of the 4-strokes. The basic frame designs are pretty much the same.
• The main difference between PDS and linkage is the tower of the upper shock mount, which for both systems, takes the main role to isolate the shock absorber forces from the frame.

• 2011 4 STROKE KTM SX Models have Pro-Lever Linkage rear suspension.
• When it comes to Supercross the PDS becomes more critical in regards to bike set-up.
• The linkage provides a better solution to the increased loading demands that extreme Supercross requires and covers a wider range of circuits.

2011 SX 2 STROKES KEEP EXISTING PDS REAR SUSPENSION

• 2011 2 STROKE KTM SX Models have longer PDS rear suspension.
• The existing directly linked PDS shock is still the best solution for the 2-strokes.
• 2-Strokes have a totally different engine characteristic than 4-strokes and also a different centre of gravity.
• Many tests have proven that the PDS rear suspension fits better to the lighter and more nervous characteristics of the 2-strokes.
• With the lighter PDS system, the 2-strokes will keep a major weight benefit, also in the future.

2011 REAR SX SUSPENSION (4 STROKE AND 2 STROKE)

• Both shocks also have a new spring retention and preload system to allow for preload adjustment without the use of hammer and punch.
• New cast aluminium swing arms for both the PDS and the linkage.

2011 SX FRONT SUSPENSION

• All SX models are fitted with the latest generation of 48 mm USD front forks “made by WP in Austria”.
• The “WP closed cartridge technology” has been fine-tuned for excellent sensitivity and damping characteristics, which has been proven in many shootouts of the last season.
• Due to an internal closed damping cartridge these forks create more consistent damping characteristics in extreme use situations than open cartridge systems.

2011 SX NEW BODYWORK

• New bodywork provides super slim ergonomics and excellent contact points between rider and machine.
• Wider and 50 mm longer rear fender.
• No-tools access to the air filter.
• Incorporated lift handle in the outer rear fender.

2011 SX NEW WHEELS

• New silver rims do not only appear lighter, they also take the unavoidable damages during tire changes much better than rims coated in any other color.
• Spokes are now covered with a noble zinc-/ nickel coating which not only suits the silver rims optically, but also has an improvement regarding corrosion resistance.
• New nipples made of high-strength aluminium the weight could be reduced again, which is an important feature supporting suspension action and easy handling.
