With its lightweight chassis and potent engine, the 350 SX-F has carved out a niche among motocross enthusiasts, offering an exhilarating experience that’s hard to match. At the heart of the 350 SX-F lies a robust 349.70 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerhouse features an impressive compression ratio of 14.0:1, delivering a potent punch of torque and horsepower that propels this bike forward with an exhilarating rush. The engine is equipped with advanced fuel injection technology, ensuring precise fuel delivery while the Keihin EMS ignition system optimizes performance across various riding conditions.

Paired with a 5-speed gearbox, the 350 SX-F ensures that riders can exploit the engine's full potential, whether they’re navigating challenging terrain or blasting down the track. The KTM 350 SX-F boasts a cutting-edge chassis that features a lightweight 25CrMo4 steel central-tube frame, contributing to its agile handling and stability. The WP-USD AER 48 front suspension, with a generous 300 mm of travel, allows for excellent absorption of bumps and jumps, ensuring a plush ride even on the roughest tracks. Complemented by a rear WP shock absorber with linkage, the suspension setup is finely tuned for optimal performance, providing confidence and control. With a seat height of 960 mm and ground clearance of 370 mm, the bike is designed to accommodate a variety of rider preferences, while the electric starter adds convenience for quick getaways. Available in striking orange, white, and black color schemes, the 350 SX-F ensures that you’ll not only perform well but also look great while doing it. **
