KTM

The Good:

Powerful, light weight, reliable

The Bad:

Front forks (not as bas as ppl make them out to be)

Overall Review: Love my 2017 250SX. Message me if you want any suggestions for setting it up for offroad. I race mine in motocross, grand prix, sprint enduro, as well as trail ride.

Recently KTM invited us to their home turf for a first ride on the all new 2020 KTM SX-E 5. With six different power modes, the SX-E 5 was a slight change of scenery for our mini tester. We cover the features of this bike and the feedback that comes with it. Take a look!

For 2020, the KTM 350 SX-F received the same changes that its bigger and smaller siblings received as well - updated suspension settings with a few new parts in the fork and a vented air box cover. Neither of these changes made the bike wholly different that the 2019 bike, but we did not...

At this year's Red Bull Straight Rhythm, while most people were focused on two-stroke machines, we were getting our first in-person look at a brand new no-stroke machine - the 2020 KTM SX-E 5. This minibike has been in the works for years and we've had a few packets of information floated...

The future of two-stroke dirt bikes has been in flux for years. While there is a modern resurgence in their popularity, both in motocross and off-road riding, in the motorized recreation arena in general, engines that burn both gas and oil have been slowly fading away. Yet KTM, especially...

*We know that the typical numberplate background for a 250 is black with white numbers, but some wires got crossed and we are going with a 250F-racing-in-the-450 class look. As we mentioned in the First Look, since last year’s KTM 250 SX-F (and all of the SX-F line for that matter) got...

Cameron McAdoo: Pushing Forward (video)

We are stoked on Cameron’s recent rides! He has worked hard to get back to top 10 finishes after dealing with quite a few setbacks. Remember if you are facing adversity in your life right now keep digging because there is light just around the corner.

With major changes to the 2018 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition that transferred over to the standard 2019 KTM 450 SX-F, it is unsurprising that the latest version of KTM's premier motocross model is light on changes. For a full list of specs and changes for the 2020 model, check out the Firs...

There was a lot going on with the 2018 KTM Factory Edition so no one would question KTM if they just phoned-in the 2019 version, but they didn’t. While the updates aren’t as monumental as an all-frame and mostly-new motor like last year’s, there are some very noticeable changes that address a fe...

As the phrase goes, there is no replacement for displacement. And for the most part that is true. Very few riders would voluntarily give up cc’s in a racing situation. But Tony Cairoli has shown in the past that with 100cc less than the rest of the field he could still dominate on a KTM 350. An ...
