On The Pegs VOL. 4 ISSUE 8 - August 2020 51 2021 KTM 450 SX-F dition to the KTM XC model family is the most compact and lightweight of the full-size Cross-Country machines. Matching a lightweight Cross-Country specific chassis up with the most competitive 125 cc 2-stroke engine in the class, it delivers superior agility and power to fulfil the demands of any young and aspiring offroad racer. Throw in an oversized tank and electric start, and you have a machine ready to dominate right out of the crate. KTM is excited to unleash the KTM 125 XC and to display its READY TO RACE capabilities in the GNCC Series, a proving-ground for the 125 platform and for the development of the new XC model. Trail Jesters KTM Racing’s Jesse Ansley earned back-to-back championships in the XC3 125 Pro-Am class, where he consistently bested the competition in some of the most demanding three-hour cross-country races, and that championship DNA runs throughout the KTM 125 XC. KTM treats its Sportminicycle roster with the same ground-up priority for development as the full-sized bikes. As a result, the KTM 85 SX, KTM 65 SX, KTM 50 SX and KTM 50 SX MINI can now count on a new throttle assembly for better and smoother throttle action. For the KTM 85 SX, braking potential is much higher thanks to a larger rear disc and a completely new front and rear brake system
