FIRST LOOK: 2023 KTM 50SX FACTORY EDITION

First introduced at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at the Loretta Lynn’s Ranch, the KTM 50SX Factory Edition comes equipped with a long list of premium components to give young racers the perfect first taste of factory performance.

KTM’s designers and engineers – working with racers of all sizes – sought to spec out the perfect mini machine for future champions, which led to a carefully selected parts list that includes a full FMF exhaust system, CNC machined aluminum clutch and ignition covers, race-derived gearing, jetting, and clutch configuration, premium Dunlop Geomax MX53 tyres, and a special gripper seat to keep racers planted under power.

The KTM 50SX, which features a potent range of premium componentry in its own right, resides at the heart of the KTM 50SX Factory Edition, meaning mini shredders can count on advanced WP XACT suspension with AER technology, high-end Formula brakes paired with waved discs, Neken tapered bars and ODI grips, and black-anodised aluminum rims as standard. All of this highlights its ultra-lightweight design, rider-focused ergonomics, and powerful yet ridable 50cc engine with an easy-to-manage, adjustable centrifugal clutch.
