2026 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition – Race-Ready, Built to Win
The 2026 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition is the ultimate expression of KTM’s READY TO RACE ethos — a motocross weapon engineered for riders chasing podiums, lap records, and every fraction of a second between the tape and the finish line. Based on KTM’s legendary 450 SX-F platform, this Factory Edition combines class-leading engine performance with elite-level hardware, premium components, and race-bred technology straight from KTM’s Factory Racing program.
At the heart of the 450 SX-F Factory Edition is a compact, high-revving 449.9 cc SOHC liquid-cooled four-stroke single that’s engineered for explosive acceleration, strong throttle response and a massive broad powerband — keeping you ahead of the competition from the first jump to the checkers. This same engine architecture delivers class-leading rideability and peak power that’s capable of dominating both amateur and pro-level motocross tracks.
What truly sets the Factory Edition apart are its premium upgrades. Fitted as standard with WP Pro Components XACT PRO 7548 front fork and XACT PRO 8950 rear shock, this bike boasts factory-level suspension that delivers unmatched precision, adjustability and control over varied terrain. These top-tier components offer rock-solid resistance to bottoming, smooth absorption of big hits and consistent damping lap after lap.
The Factory Edition also incorporates race-centric touches throughout: Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team graphics, orange glossy frame with protectors, CNC-machined Factory triple clamps, a Connectivity Unit Offroad (CUO) for advanced tuning and ride analysis via KTMconnect, a factory start device, premium Akrapovič slip-on, factory carbon skid plate and brake guard, black DID DirtStar wheels with orange hubs, Dunlop Geomax MX34 tires and golden chain.
Ergonomics are tailored for performance, with an aggressive rider triangle, optimized flex-engineered frame, and efficient cooling and air intake design that keeps performance sharp even under hard use. This attention to detail makes maintenance easier trackside and enhances durability in the toughest conditions.
In short, the 2026 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition isn’t just a dirt bike — it’s a full-blown factory motocross race machine straight from the showroom. For riders who demand elite performance, race-ready suspension, and premium componentry out of the crate, this is the closest thing to a professional factory bike available to the public.
