A completely new, significantly lighter engine, featuring groundbreaking injection technology, guarantees brutal yet controllable power. Packed into a chassis, which has been improved massively in terms of bodywork, frame and suspension, the KTM 450 SX-F 2013 sets a new benchmark among the 450 four-strokes in terms of performance and manoeuvrability with its easy handling.
PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE POTENTIAL
Less weight, less maintenance. But, because you can't save on everything, the 449.3 cm³ (27.418 cu in)SOHC SX-F engine offers one major plus: more power. If you combine the 2 kilograms saved by the more compact design with the unbelievable 60 hp, you end up with unparalleled power development and handling previously unheard of in the MX1 class.
This is precision engineering: a cylinder head reconfigured for optimal motocross characteristics with a very broad rev range. In this extremely compact and lightweight construction, only one camshaft specially designed for the KTM SX-F actuates four titanium valves via weight-reduced rocker arms (DLC-coated on the intake side). Together with ultra-light valve springs and spring retainers, a maximum engine speed of up to 11,500 rpm can be achieved for maximum power.
The crankshaft on the new KTM 450 SX-F with a 63.4 mm (2.496 in) stroke is equipped for 2013 with a revolutionary plain bearing in the lower conrod eye. This means that the conventional needle bearing is replaced by 2 press-fit bearing shells in the ultra-light Pankl connecting rod, which run directly on the crankshaft's additionally reinforced crank pin. The sliding bearing is supplied with oil directly from the pressurised oil circuit via the crankshaft. In other words: No problem when it comes to rev limits, and the need for servicing the crankshaft is halved. And, because the gyrating mass has been reduced, the bike has more bite and it's even more agile and dynamic.
A new DDS clutch (Damped Diaphragm Steel) with a wear-free steel cage is fitted to the new KTM SX-F engine, allowing use of thin steel discs for minimum overall width. The diaphragm spring, which preloads the package, not only reduces the operating force required to pull the clutch, but also provides space for integrated hub damping. The result: more traction and protection for the transmission. And with hydraulic clutch actuation from Brembo, the rider has everything under control right from the start.
Not only visually does the completely revamped bodywork indicate that the 2013 model year represents a new SX generation. Above all, the ergonomics and function of the plastics have been designed in such a way that the whole chassis and engine package forms a perfect harmony with the rider down to the very last detail. The fuel tank and spoiler have been restyled along with the airbox cover and the front fender, including the start number plate. A particular highlight is the new front fender, which has no ribbing whatsoever on the inside, thereby preventing mud build-up. A pioneering structure and improved attachment of the fender to the triple clamp
