KTM 65 SX 

The KTM 65 SX is a high-performance youth motocross machine tailored for ambitious young riders aged approximately eight to twelve. Delivering authentic READY-TO-RACE capability, it bridges the gap between introductory and full-size competition bikes with genuine shift and clutch control.


Performance & Power Powered by a liquid-cooled 64.9 cc two-stroke single-cylinder engine, the 65 SX delivers around 16 hp—upgraded to about 19.5 hp in the limited-edition SXS Factory Racing variant.The engine features a six-speed manual gearbox with a hydraulic multi-disc clutch for smooth, precise shifting. Equipped with a pressure-controlled exhaust valve and refined ignition curve, it provides a powerful yet controllable powerband that rewards developing throttle control and racing practice.

Control & Comfort The KTM 65 SX uses a high-strength chromoly steel central-tube frame paired with fully adjustable WP XACT suspension front and rear—215 mm of travel at the front and approximately 270 mm at the rear—offering tailored damping and rebound characteristics. Braking power comes from hydraulic disc brakes, with a 198 mm front rotor and 160 mm rear rotor enhancing stopping control. With a dry weight of around 53 kg and a seat height of approximately 750 mm, the bike strikes a balance between agility and rider accessibility.

Versatility & Style Sporting factory-matching KTM graphics and slim plastic bodywork that mirror its larger siblings, the 65 SX presents a polished, race-ready appearance. Ergonomics such as adjustable handlebars, subframe and bodywork allow the bike to grow with the rider, while its lightweight composition and clean two-stroke growl suit motocross track sessions, club racing, and advanced training alike. Though simple in tech, its precise build and professional finish deliver both usability and style for aspiring young competitors.
