2027 KTM 50 SX

2027 KTM 50 SX

The journey starts here. The first prime platform in the KTM Sportminicycle range will satisfy any youngster's thirst for fun, speed, adventure and that unquenchable desire to learn. The KTM 50 SX is built around an advanced steel frame, housing a powerful engine, a WP XACT AER fork, a WP XACT monoshock, and a advanced hydraulic Formula brake system. Reliability, durability and READY TO RACE aesthetics and spirit means it is the only choice for small kids and the big ones too!

Features may include:

• ADJUSTABLITY

Different adjustability options were built into the KTM 50 SX construction using scientific statistical data and young racers' input data. Finding the right fit for your little ripper is easy thanks to height-adjustable suspension, handlebar position, subframe, and bodywork, taking the seat height from a low setting of 24.9 in (634 mm) to a taller setting of 26.8 in (682 mm).

• IGNITION

A digital ignition with improved processing power makes for a cleaner burn and smoother power delivery. Individual ignition timing across the entire rpm range, just like that found on the full-sized KTM SX range, adds a key advantage. The throttle cable assembly benefits from a new stabilization cap that extends the lifetime of the cable by reducing the risk of kinking and damage.

• CARBURETOR

A proven Dell'Orto type PHBG 19 BS carburetor takes a prime position in producing the goods in the KTM 50 SX, working perfectly in harmony with the engine, exhaust, and air intake design.

• PERFORMANCE

The KTM 50 SX features a modern and compact engine using the latest 2-stroke technology. Using a 3-shaft design, the crankshaft is positioned near the center of gravity, which not only benefits mass centralization but also creates the ideal intake angle into the reed valve for top-level performance. For 2026, the transmission shafts are new developments with wider dimensions and several components have been reinforced to enhance durability.

• POWER-REDUCTION KITS

For absolute beginners, the KTM POWERPARTS catalog offers a choice of two power-reduction kits. The first allows for a entry-level, moderate and controllable power reduction to 4hp, with the second permitting more intermediate power kit unleashing 8hp for mid-level riding levels.

• CLUTCH

The KTM 50 SX is fitted with a centrifugal clutch reducing the complexity for younger riders, and helping to boost riding confidence. The multi-disc clutch delivers a precise and predictable power delivery across the RPM range. It can be set to suit rider preferences or track conditions without using any special tools. Also, a reinforced clutch basket provides extra durability, wear, and consistent performance. The clutch itself receives a boost in quality with a high-strength pre-coat and increased tightening torque for reliable fastening of the whole assembly.

• SPARK PLUG

There's no more worrying about breaking the plug, thanks to the KTM 50 SX featuring a spark plug from BRISK with a longer thread. Also, thanks to this innovation, the part number is printed on the spark plugs for easy reading.
