2015 KTM 50 SX Base

2015 KTM 50 SX

A real KTM for young racers with high quality components that's easy to control and whose engine excels with linear power development and a beginner-friendly automatic clutch.

• Handlebar

The ergonomic Renthal handlebar made from a high-quality aluminium alloy ensures the highest levels of stability. A Renthal crash pad around the center brace protects the rider from hard knocks.

• Graphics

The graphic design derived from that of the full-size SX bikes makes the little KTM even cooler. Its frame has a hardwearing plastic coating in anthracite metallic.

• Water Cooling

The liquid-cooling system of the KTM 50 SX, with two large radiators and additional cooling for the crankcase, prevents the engine overheating, even under the most extreme loads.

• Wheels

Just like the big factory bikes, the 50 SX is equipped with ultra-light, black anodized aluminium rims that easily withstand even the biggest of jumps. The 50 SX is now equipped with the very latest generation tire from MAXXIS, featuring a profile that provides optimum grip on every surface.

• Brakes

Both at the front and rear, state-of-the-art hydraulic disc brakes from FORMULA ensure best possible reduction of speed. The exclusive, self-cleaning Wave brake discs stand for the ultimate in race technology and outstanding safety.

• Suspension/Damping

Both the rear shock absorber and the 35 mm upside-down telescopic fork are high-quality products from WP Suspension and provide ultimate damping and responsiveness.

• Adjustable Automatic Transmission

The centrifugally controlled, multi-disc automatic clutch developed by KTM delivers easily controllable acceleration and makes riding the 50 SX the easiest thing in the world. Furthermore, it can still be quickly and easily adjusted to the specific requirements of both track and rider using the "KTM clicker system" - in a matter of seconds and with no special tools required.

• WP Chassis

A high quality, upside-down telescopic fork from WP Suspension, featuring 35 mm diameter outer tubes and 205 mm suspension travel, ensures outstanding ride stability. A WP shock absorber connected directly to the swingarm also supplies 185 mm of suspension travel at the rear wheel.

• Clutch

The centrifugally controlled, multi-disc automatic clutch developed by KTM delivers easily controllable acceleration and makes riding this bike the easiest thing in the world. It can be adjusted in no time at all, without special tools, to the specific requirements of both track and rider.

• Engine

The modern, extremely compact, 2-stroke engine sets the benchmark in its class with its very controllable power. Thanks to the 3-shaft concept, the crankshaft is close to the bike's center of gravity. This not only benefits the handling; it also provides a flow-optimized inflow angle at the intake membrane – a prerequisite for maximum performance.
