Overview

Introducing the 2022 KTM 85 SX 17-14, a standout entry in the cross-motocross category, designed for young riders who are ready to take their skills to the next level. With a competitive MSRP of US$ 6199, this bike is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, making it a favorite among aspiring motocross champions. Crafted with KTM's signature attention to detail and racing pedigree, the 85 SX 17-14 is the perfect blend of power, agility, and user-friendly features, ensuring that both novice and experienced riders can experience the thrill of off-road riding. At the heart of the KTM 85 SX 17-14 is a potent 84.9 cc engine that utilizes a reed intake system, providing smooth and predictable power delivery. The bore and stroke dimensions of 47.0 x 49.0 mm work in harmony with the Mikuni TMX carburettor, allowing the engine to breathe freely and produce an exhilarating ride. With a 6-speed gearbox and a wet multi-disc clutch operated by Formula hydraulics, riders can expect precise gear shifts and seamless power transitions across varied terrains. The bike's lightweight construction, tipping the scales at just 67 kg (147.7 lbs), combined with a liquid-cooled engine, ensures optimal performance and maximum control, whether you're tackling tight corners or launching off jumps. The 2022 KTM 85 SX 17-14 is packed with advanced features designed to elevate the riding experience. The central-tube frame with a double-cradle design enhances stability while providing a robust platform for the WP XACT 43 mm upside-down front fork and WP XACT monoshock rear suspension, delivering an impressive front travel of 278 mm and a rear travel of 305 mm. These elements work together to absorb bumps and provide a smooth ride over rough terrain. With a ground clearance of 336 mm and a seat height of 865 mm (adjustable to suit the rider), the bike is tailored to ensure comfort and confidence for riders as they navigate the motocross landscape. **
