The 250 SX is the motocross with the best power-to-weight ratio. Its lightweight 2-stroke engine achieves unmatched performance in an extremely light weight chassis; serious competition for 4-strokes.
Motor
With its unbeatable weight / performance ratio, the powerful KTM 250 SX engine combines exceptional performance and extreme handling..
Clutch
The KTM 250 SX engine incorporates a damped DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) clutch with wear-resistant steel bell. Spring washers that provide preload reduce operating forces and leave room for the integrated hub damping. The result: more traction and a less strained gearbox. And with Brembo’s optimized hydraulically actuated clutch, the rider has it all under control from the start.
Framework
The modern frame design of the SX models made of lightweight, high-strength chrome-molybdenum steel profile tubes combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional rigidity. On the new SX 2015 frame, a forged and milled cross tube connects the two frame halves and the draw rod of the idler mechanism. The absence of welds allows for extremely precise manufacturing tolerances and increased safety while saving 60 grams in weight.
Return mechanism / shock absorber
Redesigned for this 2015 model year, the damping system has a new return mechanism with optimized geometry. A more linear progression with a higher starting rate ensures increased stability while lowering the rear. In addition, this new design saves another 40 grams. Fully adjustable, the WP 5018 shock absorber has been perfectly optimized for this new return mechanism.
Fork
The fully adjustable WP Suspension upside-down fork has been perfectly matched to the rear shock absorber as well as the new 22mm front axle (up from 26mm so far) for the 2015 model year. The new axle provides better performance. sensations at the level of the front wheel while also reducing the weight by an additional 40 grams. The new front wheel axle mountings only have a 33mm offset instead of 35mm, providing better stability with a higher caster angle. They also include new fork protectors that are 50 grams lighter..
Triple trees
High-quality CNC-milled triple trees have been incorporated into the standard KTM equipment for years. They ensure precise handling and clearly underline the flex characteristics and therefore the responsiveness of the telescopic fork. New lower fork crown bearing O-ring bracket, overhauled tube and new steering head screw save another 40 grams.
Graphics
A new, more stylish graphic kit with clear lines underlines the uncompromising requirement of this modern off-road motorcycle.
Fairing
The aim of the KTM designers was to create a more ergonomic and functional fairing, so that the whole bike in every detail is in perfect harmony with the rider. The molded plastic parts of the front mudguard are a model of solidity thanks to their sophisticated structure and attachment.
Saddle
Perfectly ergonomic, the saddle contains a resistant foam core which ensures increased comfort and greater robustness.
Air box
The airbox design guarantees optimum protection of the air filter against dirt, and maximum airflow for increased performance. Changing the Twin Air air filter in seconds and without tools has long been standard at KTM.
Tank
All models in the SX range have a 7.5 liter lightweight polyethylene tank. The four-stroke motocross models feature the same fuel pump system as the four-stroke enduro models, allowing the optional installation of larger tanks available in the PowerParts catalog or on enduro models.
Handlebar
All SX models are fitted with a super robust Renthal Fatbar 827 tapered handlebar, the shape of which has been adapted to the demands of motocross. The proven KTM system allows the handlebars to be fixed in four different positions. The 2015 model has been fitted with softer two-component grips to preserve the rider’s hands.
Wheels
When it comes to wheels, the 2015 version features black coated Excel rims with CNC machined lightweight hubs and spokes with lightweight aluminum nipples, to ensure maximum stability at minimum weight. The new Dunlop Geomax MX 52 tires were designed in collaboration with the KTM USA factory team and offer optimal traction and top performance. The new crowns save another 50 grams on the unsprung masses.
Brakes
High-tech Brembo brakes have long been standard on KTM off-road motorcycles with lightweight wave disc brakes for optimum braking performance. Best brakes in their category in motocross, they remain unchanged on this 2015 version.
