2027 KTM 85 SX 17/14

One final step lies ahead. The KTM 85 SX 17/14 stands ready to take your speed higher. Shaped on the track and on the international stage, the KTM 85 SX 17/14 offers markedly improved handling, blistering power delivery and proven READY TO RACE DNA by way of its components and pedigree. You told us, and we heard you. We did the development. Now keep the journey going. Fast.

Among the features may be:

• ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION

Change is nothing to fear. The WP XACT suspension on the KTM 85 SX can be adjusted at both the front and the back. Using an air pump, riders can modify the WP XACT AER fork with ease. As a result, riders can set up the KTM 85 SX to suit their specifications, their weight, or the conditions of the track. Preload, compression, and rebound on the WP XACT monoshock are all fully adjustable.

• IGNITION

A Hidria CDI box on the KTM 85 SX delivers plenty of processing power along with a fiery ignition curve. What does that bring? Quicker ignition, smoother running from the engine, and a shorter warm-up time when temperatures are colder.

• COMBUSTION CHAMBER

A recent redesign gave the combustion chamber a smaller spark plug. That yields combustion that is more effective and efficient, with a lowered compression ratio generating more power and torque.

• ENGINE

The KTM 85 SX packs the sort of firepower that makes it the benchmark in the start gate. At 120 g lighter than the previous generation, the engine delivers high performance and optimized chassis integration. The upshot: punch in the low and mid-RPM range, torque, and reliability.

• FACTORY PERFORMANCE KIT

Fit the 105 Factory Kit to raise the performance of your KTM 85 SX, an ideal choice for taking on bigger track layouts. Included in the kit are enhanced engine components, a cylinder head, a combustion chamber insert, a CDI control unit, and a spark plug.

• EXHAUST

The signature 'Braaap!' of this junior rocket comes from a completely new exhaust system built with a new manufacturing process, the same as on the full-size 2-stroke KTM SX range. Because the seams between the individual sheets have been eliminated, exhaust flow is optimized, which brings substantial gains in thermodynamics. In short, this pipe performs.

• SHIFTING MECHANISM

A recently updated shift drum makes clicking into gear even smoother. Its coating finish means shifts up and down the 'box are smoother, more reliable, and rock-solid, even once many hours of use have piled up.
