KTM Introduces 2012 450 SX-F Factory Edition, Dungey Finishes Third

KTM recently introduced its 2012 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition. This is an entirely new model for the company, which showcases a brand new engine and chassis that make this the bike of choice for KTM’s Ryan Dungey, who finished 3rd overall at the opening round of the AMA Supercross Series in Anaheim, Calif., earning KTM’s first-ever U.S. Supercross class podium finish.

Power for the "factory edition" comes from the new generation 449.3cc fuel-injected, single-cam, lightweight, four-stroke engine. In addition, the motorcycle features an entirely new chassis, including a new frame design, newly designed black anodized triple clamps and a new one-piece cast swingarm with a larger diameter axle all combined for a new level of performance handling.

The bike also comes equipped with aggressive new generation bodywork, an orange powder-coated frame, racing seat cover, orange anodized rear sprocket, black Excel rims, orange radiator protectors, Dunlop MX51 tires, black anodized Renthal Fat bar and Factory Red Bull KTM SX Team graphics. In addition, the Factory Edition will also include a user setting tool which gives the rider the necessary software to adjust the injection and ignition for every rpm range.

The new bikes will be available at KTM dealerships in spring of 2012. For more information, visit www.ktm.com.
