2012 KTM 350SX-F Review

The initial idea was to line up in the motocross/450 class with a bike featuring reduced displacement, but all the advantages of a lighter bike. The final result was the birth of the 350 SX-F and foundations being laid for a legend. Its first victory in the first world championship race and the world championship title in its first season — what better proof could there be for the brilliance of this concept?

The sensation of the 2010 MX season enters the next round with a revamped chassis and an even more robust clutch.

New for 2012 the 350 SX-F model is now equipped with Dunlop MX51 tires.
