2026 KTM 65 SX Base

2026 KTM 65 SX

The journey starts here. The first prime platform in the KTM Sportminicycle range will satisfy any youngster's thirst for fun, speed, adventure and that unquenchable desire to learn. The KTM 50 SX is built around an advanced steel frame, housing a powerful engine, an updated WP XACT AER fork, and a WP XACT monoshock. Reliability, durability, and READY TO RACE aesthetics and spirit means it is the only choice for small kids and the big ones too!

Features may include:

• Adjustablity

The KTM 65 SX is designed to grow with the little racer, by being height adjustable. Different options were built into the KTM 65 SX construction using scientific statistical data and mannequins. So, finding the right fit for your junior ripper is ultra easy, thanks to height adjustable suspension, handlebar position, subframe, and bodywork, taking the seat height from a low 28.1 in (715 mm), to a taller 29.9 in (760 mm).

• Performance

Featuring the latest in 2-stroke technology, the KTM 65 SX sets the benchmark at the starting gate. Besides using the lightest and most durable materials, the engine features a pressure-controlled exhaust valve that delivers top-level performance through its manual 6-speed transmission. The mounting concept for the crankshaft also makes for easier maintenance.

• Airbox and Filter

The airbox features a conventional suction sleeve made from a hard-wearing polyamide instead of rubber and a Twin Air filter mounting system that features snap locks for easy and intuitive mounting. The Twin Air filter is also placed under the seat and is easily accessible without any tools by simply removing the seat. It also features improved dirt intrusion resistance, with no more dirt falling into the intake tract when changing the filter.

• Wheels & Tires

Rolling off the race rig and into the pit lane, the KTM 65 SX uses lightweight, black anodized, aluminum rims like the full-size KTM SX range. These provide the highest levels of strength and reliability, while MAXXIS MX-ST tires deliver outstanding performance on any terrain and exceptional straight-line stability.

• Exhaust

The exhaust system features the same manufacturing process as the full-size 2-stroke KTM SX range, with high overall quality and performance. This has resulted in massive progressions in thermodynamics. Moreover, improved sealing of the silencer end cap and a rubber between the header pipe and silencer add another level of quality to the exhaust system. The silencer comes with a black anodized finish and a signature 'Braaaaap!'. The modifications include a new flange gasket for better durability and the exhaust valve ventilation has been redesigned. It is more 'bulletproof' thanks to more efficient and locally sourced manufacturing at KTM HQ.
