KTM Announces 2020 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION

A FORMULA FOR SUCCESS

We build and race FACTORY EDITIONS. Championship winning bikes, like this one. Thanks to its compact SOHC (single overhead camshaft) engine delivering explosive but controllable power, it is the weapon of choice for Red Bull KTM Factory Teams around the world. A lightweight chassis, slim bodywork and a powerful engine put the 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION out front of the competition. A long list of special equipment such as a factory installed holeshot device, a floating front brake rotor and a slip-on AKRAPOVIČ muffler add to the arsenal that raises this limited edition model to a level that cannot be rivaled. The FACTORY EDITION is a formula for success.
