2026 KTM 450 SX-F Base

Information

2026 KTM 450 SX-F

THE TOP OF THE FOODCHAIN

Still the reference. AMA Supercross wins and titles. MXGP wins and titles and history. What's the next chapter? Write it. Beat the best and rule the rest with the only standard.

Features may include:

Before The Gate
  • Easy Suspension Adjustment

As always, the suspension boasts an easy tool-free setup at both ends, ensuring you chase down the podium in total control. On the rear, a hand-adjustable dual compression option allows riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. The forks on the front end are also easily modified thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and top cap.

Start Strong
  • More Usable Power

When the gate drops you need to be the first to off the line in a bid to rule (and make) the roost. The KTM 450 SX-F boasts one of the strongest and most versatile 4-stroke powerplants in the paddock, with its SOHC engine proving to be the perfect example of advanced engineering. With a peak power output, and an overall engine weight of only 59 lb (26.8 kg), you'll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face.

Calm Under Fire
  • Absolute Control

Get ready for a full-on berm assault. The KTM SX and SX-F machines received major frame updates directly from KTM Factory Racing efforts. For starters, the area around the rear shock mount is streamlined, with engine mounts and cut-outs for improved chassis flex. The front area of the frame has an optimum wall thickness with renewed engine mounts.

Hit The Big Stuff
  • WP XACT Fork

Let's get the technical parts out of the way first; the 48 mm WP XACT AER forks fitted to the KTM SX and SX-F line-up features a capsulated air spring and pressurized oil chamber for progressive and consistent damping, while oil and air bypasses reduce pressure peaks. In combination with the mid-valve damping system, all this provides exceptional feedback and rider comfort. The fork also has settings which not only compliment the frame and rear linkage, but ensures stellar performance at all levels. Speaking of settings, these are easily adjusted via a single air pressure pre-load valve, as well as easy-access click adjusters for compression and rebound. Additionally, the WP air pump needed to adjust the fork's air pressure is provided as standard in the buy-pack.
