I'm really surprised with KTM.

Not the long ago, few people actually heard of or known much about KTM products. It was one of those companies that just kinda stayed a little hidden, but still made awesome bikes.

Then just.. BAM! out of nowhere they came out with the best productions quads EVER to hit the market and catch all the buzz. They're all the rage these days.

Congrats KTM:D First your first attempt at making a quad, you hit it spot on

WOW...thats sick. beadlocks, nice shocks, killswitch, about as close to a STOCK race ready quad you can get. anybody know why they dont go with a linkage rear suspension? the 450XC is the same way.

Im sure there's a reason for it. Those quads are so nice, i think they wouldve used a linkage if it was actually that much better

plus, this setup is a hair lighter

Some more info and pic I found:

KTM’s SX ATV introduced at Spain’ biggest Motorcycle Fair
KTM, continuing in its role as the world leader in sports motorcycles is present at the trendsetting Motorcycle Fair in Barcelona, Spain with the latest models in the successfully launched ATV series, including the new benchmark in the category SX ATV.

This model is the 2008 showcase for the SX model ATV series and represents the entire research and development effort of the Austrian manufacturer. The SX ATV is fully dedicated to motocross conditions, reinforcing KTM’s leading market position also in the ATV segments. The 2009 models will be “ready to race” as 450 and 505 cc version.

Perfection guaranteed
KTM has created the perfect Motocross ATVs – their remarkably low weight in combination with the wider front and rear dimensions guarantee an unmatched handling on any MX track. KTM also heavily focused on keeping the center of gravity as low as possible by introducing a newly designed fuel tank.
The specifically developed WP suspension elements are another highlight: they feature a wide range of adjustments, most of which revolutionize the industry: High & Low speed compression adjustability both in the front and rear. Crossover design both in the front and rear.

Unmatched engine
Available with two different engine displacements, the KTM SX ATV is high revving and incredibly powerful. Unlike the XC, it does not feature a reverse gear, thus saving weight.
It also features a big airbox with easy filter access and a race-proven Keihin 41 mm. KTM went the extra mile by topping it off with Maxxis Razr MX tires, rear Douglas beadlock rims and nerf bars as well as a protective cover for the headlight. The SX also has the same industry leading Magura front brakes, Chromoly frame, hydraulic clutch, Magura handle bar and perfect ergonomics as the acclaimed XC models.

Say what?!?!?!?!?!?


few people actually heard of them? :eek2:

In Europe, they are to them as what Yamaha, Honda, Kawasaki, and Suzuki are you us. They're just as big as any of the big four. They just decided to make it into the flying couch world now. lol

shwing! lol KTM is like the better much improved Cannondales because they make different models for different types or riding. I love that idea and I wish Honda did that with their 450r.

[rollie]

the 450SX reminds me of a cannondale moto alot, and since i always wanted one of those i want this thing even more! haha hopefully they'll release more pics soon

[Flyin-Low]

Oh god.. Can someone please get me a towel? :devil:
