Overall Review
My review on my 2023 KTM 250 SXF after 40hrs I have had a lot of experience on the Austrian bikes. A brief resume: 2014 250sx, 2017 250sxf, 2018 450sxf, 2020 fc450, 2022 mc250f, 2022 mc450f I've always loved the power delivery, reliability, and ease of maintenance on their bikes. Per usual, I went into Mt. Baker Moto-sports in Bellingham, WA and walked out with a freshy 2023 KTM 250 SXF.

Overall Review
KTM has hit another generation with the introduction of their 2019 motocross model range. While each bike has specific updates, the consensus for all their models is a new chassis and associated bodywork and components to give the bikes a more responsive and thinner feel. The 250 SX-F doesn't just stop there though, it also got its already impressive engine massaged quite a bit, finding some extra ponies laying around to please our needs.

Overall Review
With both a Factory Edition and standard production model every year, we end up spending quite a bit of time aboard the KTM 250 SX-F. Even with this, KTM still finds a few things to change with each model, constantly improving the reliability and overall ride-ability of the bike. For the 2017 production model, KTM had a few upgrades for their freshly introduced AER 48 fork. Changing the valving, along with the outer fork tubes, and damping cartridge; creating better feel, different flex characteristics, and even loosing a bit of weight in the process. To match up with the new tubing, the 250...
