125 SX

Anybody who's looking for an extremely light and agile two-stroke cross bike, can stop looking! And the 125 SX shows its MX2 competitors the ropes on more than the racecourse. An optimized chassis and plenty of power makes this the small two-stroke that can totally take on the big guys.

144 SX

This powerhouse from KTM is superb when it comes to power output, engine speed consistency and reliability. Maximum serviceability and minimum maintenance costs included. Thanks to superior ridability and extraordinary power output, winning with this 144 two-stroke is real.

250 SX

This powerful two-stroke appeals not only due to its technology – which is just as clear-cut as it is inventive – but also due to its low-cost maintenance. A super lightweight and stable frame, plus a new setting for the forks and PDS shock absorber make the new 250 SX a serious opponent for every four-stroke.

450 SX-F

When it comes to winning in the MX1, nobody gets past the 450 SX-F. Trend-setting technology for the engine and frame, plus an extremely light chassis make this bike the ultimate mean machine. Other ingenious features, like its super-light electric starter, can save you crucial seconds when the going gets tough.

505 SX-F

With the 505 SX-F, KTM has developed a high-tech racing bike that appeals to riders who are constantly in search of the ultimate. Due to its incredible torque, merciless propulsion and unsurpassed performance, it plainly shows who's the boss in the MX3 class.

125 EXC
Ultra-light, super-agile and now with a more powerful engine than ever, this enduro shows it's ready for the toughest offroad battles. Improved flow rates, an optimized piston, including new keystone rings, the new V-Force 3 membrane unit, as well as the CDI with two variable ignition curves, all guarantee maximum power and perfect course adaptability for the powerful motor. In combination with a completely new chassis, packaged in a new, ingenious plastic outfit, the 125 EXC is the ultimate bike for riders in the E1 class who think the 4-valve technology of the four-strokes is too complicated and elaborate.

200 EXC

The 200 EXC is the ideal solution for offroad fans looking for the best of both worlds. With the same power and performance as its big sister the 250 EXC and even greater improvements to its enduro characteristics, this enduro is simply fast on any racetrack. On the other hand, the 200 EXC pampers its pilots with the playful handling of a 125. If you want understandable and low-cost technology, this super-powerful and lightweight two-stroke is the choice for the E2 class. The engine characteristic has been tuned for enduro use only. The choice between two ignition curves, plus a new crankshaft and modified casing, delivers better power reserves in all speed ranges.

250 EXC-F
