2026 KTM 85 SX 19/16

Only a handful of sounds can't be topped: a soda can cracking open on a scorching day, the ping of a flawlessly struck golf shot, and a 125 cc 2-stroke screaming wide open. For pure performance and pure results, the KTM 125 SX follows the lead of the KTM Factory Racing team directly. Just like its sound, it will stay with you.

Features may include:

• Easy Suspension Adjustment

Once again, the suspension offers simple setup without tools at both ends, so you hunt down the podium with total control. At the back, a dual compression adjuster that works by hand lets riders tweak high- and low-speed settings within seconds. Up front, hand-adjustable clickers on the top cap and on the fork shoe's bottom also make the forks simple to modify.

• EFI + Power Valve

EFI brings excellent rideability. Joining the electronic fuel injection on the KTM 125 SX is an electronic power valve, which delivers more usable power across the rev range. Power that's smoother delivers better traction. Better traction delivers holeshot heaven!

• Absolute Control

Prepare to attack the berms all-out. Major frame updates taken straight from KTM Factory Racing efforts went into the KTM SX and SX-F machines. First, the section surrounding the rear shock mount has been streamlined, with cut-outs and engine mounts for improved chassis flex. Up front, the frame uses an optimum wall thickness along with renewed engine mounts.

• WP XACT Fork

First, the technical details: the KTM SX and SX-F line-up is fitted with 48 mm WP XACT AER forks that feature a capsulated air spring and a pressurized oil chamber for damping that's progressive and consistent, while bypasses for oil and air reduce pressure peaks. Paired with the mid-valve damping system, all of this delivers rider comfort and exceptional feedback. The fork's settings also complement the rear linkage and frame while ensuring stellar performance at every level. On the subject of settings, adjusting them is easy through one air pressure pre-load valve, plus click adjusters with easy access for rebound and compression. On top of that, the WP air pump required to set the fork's air pressure comes standard in the buy-pack.

• Consistency

Rely on a durable chain guard and chain guide to minimize the chance of snagging on external objects - particularly in extremely muddy terrain - while cutting down dirt build-up around the rear sprocket and swingarm. We've also changed the wiring harness's fixing points and routing for 2026, making the harness less susceptible to wear and damage.
