2018 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition Base

2018 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition

We build and race FACTORY EDITIONS. Championship winning bikes, like this one. Thanks to its compact SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engine delivering explosive but controllable power, it is the weapon of choice for Red Bull KTM Factory Teams around the world. A revised chassis, a more compact cylinder head and slimmer bodywork put the 2018 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION even further out front of the competition. A long list of special equipment such as a factory installed holeshot device, a floating front brake rotor and a billet clutch cover just add to the arsenal that raises this limited edition model to a level that cannot be rivaled. With three consecutive AMA Supercross Championship victories, it is clear the FACTORY EDITION is a formula for success.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

KTM’s hugely successful 450cc SOHC engine is already known as the lightest and most powerful on the market, but KTM’s engineers did not rest on the laurels of this epic engine. A new more compact and lighter cylinder head drops the overall height of the engine by 15 mm for better mass centralization and better handling. Fitted with the latest fuel injection technology and engine management, the 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION produces unrivaled power and rideability that will shoot both pros and amateurs alike to the top of the podium.

• CHASSIS

The 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION receives an updated chassis to up its handling prowess and stability. Longitudinal stiffness of the frame has increased to improved bump absorption while the CNC-machined top triple clamp not stiffer to compliment the updated frame character. The swingarm now has 5mm more of wheelbase adjustment for more stability on high speed tracks. Updated WP Suspension settings complete a package that will ensure the 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION is an unstoppable force in any situation.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

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. New slimmer bodywork create a package that is easier to move around on in the heat of battle.
