News KTM presents its SX 2026 motocross range

The KTM SX my2026 are finally presented. Complicated news from the orange brand has somewhat delayed the discovery of its new cross-country machines, but they're coming soon.
New season, new objectives and new references. For those looking for high performance combined with controlled power, enhanced handling, proven competitiveness and inimitable style, the KTM SX 2026 range is the obvious choice. Available from authorized KTM dealers from August 2025, this range will appeal again and again to riders of all ages and levels, offering them a serious Motocross experience.

Hungry for competition

No major changes to note, but a few improvements for certain models. The 2026 range remains at the forefront thanks to its agility, power and performance in competition. Each model incorporates state-of-the-art electronics, optimized chassis dynamics and explosive engine response. Riders looking for factory-like tuning can take advantage of the optional Off-Road Connectivity Unit (CUO), which enables precise adjustment of engine behavior, traction control and suspension settings via the KTMconnect app.

The 2026 models are immediately distinguishable by their new, reinforced orange look, enhanced by purple details on the tank gills and fork guards.

The 2-strokes benefit from a reworked wiring harness and reinforced routing for greater resistance to the elements.

For everyone, right from the start

Pleasure or podium? Sportminicycles 2026 will accompany youngsters onto the track. The KTM 50 SX and 65 SX adopt a new WP XACT AER fork with air cartridge and redesigned sealing system for improved performance.

The throttle cable has been reinforced to prevent twisting and pinching.

The KTM 65 SX gains in robustness with a redesigned clutch system: surface treatment, increased torque. The exhaust adopts a laser-cut gasket for greater durability, and the exhaust valve ventilation system has been redesigned in Austria.

Finally, the KTM 85 SX gets a new rear brake pedal, adjustable in two lengths according to rider size, making the transition from the 65 SX easier.

The KTM 50 SX FACTORY EDITION is designed for children already dreaming of chequered flags and following in the footsteps of their heroes. Equipped with READY TO RACE components from KTM PowerParts and factory Replica trim, it creates a direct link with the stars of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team.

Highlights of the SX 2026 range:

• Latest generation of a technical base that is world champion in international and national competition.
• New 2026 molded graphics, with reinforced orange coloring, purple details, black saddle, black frame.
