The premium wing of KTM’s smallest-capacity motocross arsenal, complete with all-new graphics and some performance updatesThe latest iteration of KTM’s 50 SX Factory Edition will go on sale locally in September 2022.
Based on the standard 50 SX from KTM, the Factory Edition – which first went on sale in 2021 after a much-hyped launch at the AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship the previous year – then goes to another level in terms of racing DNA and aesthetics with high-end componentry including an FMF silencer, orange gripper seat, CNC-machined clutch and ignition covers, ODI grips and Dunlop Geomax tyres.
The 2023 model has new factory-inspired graphics and, in a nod to performance, reworked jetting and a smaller rear sprocket.
