MURRIETA, Calif. - As the world anticipates
the start of the 2019 AMA Supercross Championship on January 5,
KTM North
America, Inc. is pleased to announce its KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY
EDITION MY19 - the pinnacle of KTM's motocross line. The latest
model offers a host of upgrades over the standard machine with
technology and equipment that make the machine as factory as it
gets.
With KTM's incredible success in the
Supercross and Motocross Championships around the world, the KTM
450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION is a performance driven five-speed model
that is only produced in limited quantities for certain markets.
The latest 2019 model forms the base of the machines that will be
raced by Red Bull KTM Factory Racing's Marvin Musquin and Cooper
Webb in the upcoming AMA 450SX and 450MX Championships. Thanks to
the Austrian brand's racing passion and expertise, this
limited-edition model is created to be one of the most READY TO
RACE machines available from KTM.
"The KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY
EDITION is a World Championship-proven machine and the clear weapon
of choice for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team. This model
truly embraces KTM's 'READY TO RACE' philosophy and the company
continues to prove its commitment through R&D and feedback from
the racers themselves," said Team
Manager, Ian
Harrison. "Since 2016, Marvin Musquin has
achieved great successes on the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION and we
are setting our sights on big things from him in 2019. Cooper Webb
is a great addition to the team and he has settled into the new
bike quite nicely, so we look forward to great things from him this
season as well."
Encompassing the latest motocross
technology, and developed with the highest out-of-the-box race
performance in mind, the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION enjoys an
array of special features. The machine has the ultimate factory
look with its orange frame, Factory seat with Selle Dalla Valle
logo, and exclusive 2019 Red Bull KTM Factory Racing graphics that
are all complemented by various engine upgrades and improved
suspension settings.
With racing at the heart of KTM, this
model is the sharpest weapon in the toughest racing arenas and the
2019 FACTORY EDITION provides performance-enhancing features such
as an AkrapoviÄ Slip-on silencer, orange anodized Factory triple
clamps, Factory wheels with D.I.D. Dirt Star rims, a Factory start
for the fork and a composite skid plate. In addition, the bike has
a semi-floating front disc, front brake disc guard, and an orange
rear sprocket. KTM expects nothing less than victory with the KTM
450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION for its athletes and for those who choose
to race it.
The 2019 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION is slated to arrive in North American KTM dealerships by early March 2019. Chaparral Motorsports is an authorized KTM dealer.
