More info on the KTM 350 SX-F


So, more info is trickling out every day about this game changing MX from KTM. Stefan Everts, the multi-world champion who is credited with designing the bike was available for an interview with Dirtrider magazine to discuss the machine and it's development.

(Man, that was a long sentence!)

Some excerpts:

"But the unique engine size is not the only fresh ground the bike breaks for KTM. The 350 SX-F sports fuel injection, a linkage rear suspension system (yes, a KTM with a link), and a new frame. And for those of you still needing more, the bike had the magic button - electric starting. The model on display did not have a kick starter on it, but the cases look ready to accept one."

"Actually, with a 450 you can more choose if you want torque or top. With a 350, you're a bit limited with cc's, [but] we've tried to look for all ranges. Good bottom power, which the fuel injection helps a lot with. The power is very direct, it's very fast, and it's always there, even after a jump where you go a bit [into the] low revs, it still attacks. It still pulls."

" And I guarantee you if you can't have fun with this bike, than you can't have it with any other bike."
