WHEELS

The wheels feature CNC-machined hubs, high-end Excel rims and black coated spokes with lightweight aluminium nipples, allowing highest levels of stability to be achieved while keeping weight to a minimum. The fitted Pirelli tyres excel with perfect traction and outstanding performance.

BRAKES

The Formula brake system with radial brake callipers – with four brake pistons at the front; two at the rear – and lightweight wave brake discs – 220 mm in diameter at the front; 210 at the rear – sets the benchmark in terms of application and brake performance. A revamped handbrake armature with optimised piston system is fitted for the 2014 model year, thereby ensuring even greater durability.

CLUTCH

New for 2014, the hydraulic clutch actuation system from Formula guarantees smooth operation and very precise clutch control.

CYLINDER

The high-performance cylinder with flow-optimised ducts and high-precision exhaust control helps the engine achieve its unrivalled performance.

COOLING

Constant temperature control and hence consistently high performance are ensured by an intelligent cooling circuit with integrated crankcase cooling and two radiators.

ENGINE

State-of-the-art two-stroke technology in conjunction with a precise, six-speed transmission and a hydraulic clutch provides the basis for the superiority of the 85 SX in all junior race series.

CRANKSHAFT

Thanks to the optimally dimensioned connecting rod, the crankshaft excels with minimum vibration and maximum durability.

AIR BOX

What's good for the bigger KTM offroad bikes is good for the 85 SX: air filter replacement without tools in a matter of seconds.
