Big news for mini riders as KTM unveiled their new 2024 KTM 50 SX and 50 SX Factory Edition models today. The 50 gets a full revamp for 2024 and is made to look like the larger SX models in the KTM lineup. A new frame, suspension, and bodywork highlight these updates. Notice the adjustable seat heights and bar positions to accommodate growing riders along with power reduction kits that limit the power output for new riders. Read below to see the full details.
From KTM: The 2024 KTM 50 SX has been developed to be as close to a scaled-down version of a full-size KTM SX machine as possible, with careful consideration given to young riders and body proportions compared to grown-ups. This has been considered in the design and development phases of the 2024 KTM 50 SX as well as all of its components.
This has allowed for a revolutionary change to mini-cross, in that the new frame allows for multi-adjustability to cater to different rider heights. Suspension, handlebar position, bodywork, and subframe are now height adjustable to match the growing needs of young riders. Seat height is adjustable between 634 mm to 683 mm for the 2024 KTM 50 SX.
Regarding suspension updates, both mini-crossers feature the latest in suspension technology, with a 35 mm USD WP XACT AER fork taking charge at the front. On the rear, an all-new fully adjustable WP XACT monoshock is fitted for perfect balance and damping characteristics, with both models benefiting from revised fitment and geometry.
For model year 2024, the KTM 50 SX Factory Edition will also find its way onto the racetrack, boasting a brace of top-shelf high-performance components over and above the standard 2024 KTM 50 SX spec sheet.
Staying true to its name, the 2024 KTM 50 SX Factory Edition is wrapped in a Red Bull KTM Factory Racing inspired graphics kit, with an orange, high grip diamante KTM Factory Seat. Performance is also upped, thanks to a full FMF exhaust system and Iridium Brisk FE-specific spark plug, making it the ideal choice for young up-and-coming champions.
