Cycle News Staff | December 14, 2023
It’s that time of year again when KTM rolls out their new Factory Edition models just ahead of the racing season. For 2024 they’ve rolled out new 250 and 450 SX-F Factory Edition bikes with an Offroad Connectivity Unit and an updated frame. As with all Factory Editions, these bikes come off the dealer floor with plenty of aftermarket add-ons.

The new Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) is two-part system which is mounted between the right fork leg (protected by the new shape of the number plate) and the GPS component on the redesigned front fender. The (CUO) enables a wealth of easily adjustable options for engine behavior and suspension settings via the new KTMConnect App.
KTM’s now have a Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) which connects to your smart phone.
Essentially, it opens new customization options and the ability to personalize preferences for the KTM dirtbike without needing external specialized help. An official affiliation with LitPro empowers riders to examine their lines, speed, gearing, and a lot of other information to make their lap times and lines, all through the App’s versatility.
The unit is mounted behind the number plate.

Additional changes come from the new chassis. Varied wall thickness and cutaway sections enhance flexibility while reducing weight. The chassis strategically repositions rotating mass toward the center of gravity, aimed at improving traction with anti-squat behavior. Both bikes feature handling adjustments, such as CNC-milled orange anodized, rubber-damped triple clamps made from high-grade aluminum.
