KTM 350 SX-F Reveiled: Linkage, Fuel Injection, All-New BIke

[benoyracing119]

If its good enough for the King of Motocross its good enough for you.

[ENDA521]

WHY is there a steal frame it should be aluminum!!!!!!!!! hondas rule

[themotocross85]

my friend bought one of them the KTM 350 sxf 2011 he has always been with KTM but he had it for a week and something went wrong so it cost hi 500 to get it fixed and it just stopped working so KTM have done something realy wrong but all of his other KTM bikes worked so he thinks it is just the 350 thats why no other compenys do them

[rustyATV]

Does Dirt Rider Magazine use the same spelling in their magazine that they do on YouTube video titles?

[TheHammer209]

the perfect engine is a 250.

[Phoenixmike100]

I have never read some much bull shit from so many wannabes in my life. Some pretend to know horsepower and you dont, others claim that a 350 cant race with a 450..and yet others say that this is just a large 250...Stupidity is what we will find all of your names under in the dictionary..If we go back far enough, the Suzuki's that Roger rode for all those years was a 370..the 400 KTMs were 360's all along...Get used to this 350 KTM..it's going to be around and do some ass kickinm

[PITBIKER98]

2011 ktm350sxf=45hp=26 pounds of torque :)

[patrickfort123456789]

KTM IS THE BEST

[jakeybaby2k7]

whats the point of a 350 ? what can these race against ?

[knightlike101]

@jakeybaby2k7 Races against 450's. Power to weight ratio makes it possible to stay with a 450. People want power but they don't want weight, so KTM built a 350. All it is, is a big bore 250 really, but it's stock that way.

[willshelmetcam]

@jakeybaby2k7 450s,some local races arent run by displacement but by skill so you could ride it then.

[norcalshan]

That bike is sik. Everts is fuckin' badass. Smoke anyone reading this...

[apecreater22]

i fucken hate week end warriors talkin shit

[janissss]

bentraves are you kidding me? only the top pros can even ride a 450 to its full potential, this 350 would be more than enough for you or any other weekend warrior.

[bentraves]

350s are for people that cant handle a 450 thats why its called a 450 class go ahead and buy one if ur a pussy that cant control a 450 but all i have to say is grow some balls and dont cheat u stupid Europeans!

[DillonReddington]

@bentraves Mike Alessi raped the competition on that bike! do you think hes a pussy?

[dlinecg]

@bentraves wait how is it cheating?

[spruland]

cant wait for my demo ride in june, hope fully they arnt priced too bad either

[MXnMetal]

so fucking sick...I want 1

[Rambl147]

What does the linkage improve? Will KTM go for an aluminium frame? I wish they would leave the clutch cover etc with no colour so it doesn't wear. And the frame is orange that will wear from boots

[bilbombe]

people think there is no replacement for diplacement...that is VERY wrong!

I think the 350 will be a GREAT motocross bike and harvest many titles in 2011.

[mxforlife33]

can anyone please tell me what class a 350sxf would race in cause here in canada i think the 350f would be pointless since youd be racing against bikes with 100cc's more

[foxracing279]

@mxforlife33 that really wouldnt make much of a difference if they had 100cc more because 1) if your fast enough that really wont matter i have seen a kx80 beat up on a cr 500 and 2) the lightness of this bike will make up for the loss of those 100cc

[r3dbullfac3]

frame looks like my 2003 yz250f but orange, haha

[kdx83]

so is this replacing the 250 sx-f? or is it gunna be added to the lineup? its the perfect capacity. lots of torque and nice horsepower but it isnt over the top like KTM's arm shredding head splitting 450 sx-f. this bike might even convert me and many others from 250 2t to 350 f's. jap brands should consider making a 350f.

[foxracing279]

your right on the converting im racing a 250 sx 2 smoker but this summer im planning on getting one of these

[SoDaPoPbMx]

@kdx83 Added to the 2011 lineup come 2011 all ktms look like this!

[luhrman4]

theres three versions of them one with only electric start one with both and one with only kickstart

[NerdsSuc]

Does anyone one know when I can buy one in Australia??????

[mad87645]

go to a ktm dealer, theyll kno when they arive, but my guess would be april/may. you could probs order one now and pick it up when it arrives

[brettwill87]

that bike is stunning

[Awety1]

Ktm-leading the way, i know my next bike-luv their dedication to dirtbikes, 2 and 4 stroke!

[KawasakiiiiiFan]

electric start?? or kick start??

[dakotaracer53]

electric.. i cant see a kickstart anyway

[KawasakiiiiiFan]

would you rather have electric start?

[dakotaracer53]

@KawasakiiiiiFan yeah man deffinatley

BTW 2008 KX250f FOR SALE! clean!!!!!!!!!message me for info

[steelemx894]

@KawasakiiiiiFan

look at the video. do you see a kick start?

[KawasakiiiiiFan]

@steelemx894 look where theres supose to be a kickstart..??  0:24

[steelemx894]

@KawasakiiiiiFan i know there isnt a kickstart. you asked "electric start or kickstart?" i found it to be a dumb question. so i dont know why you even responded to me.

[KawasakiiiiiFan]

@steelemx894 its kickstart.. asshole

[1truepaul]

@steelemx894  no its electric start as most 2011 models will be

[marshasioux]

I have the 03 KTM 450..Never wantewd to part with it,but i might juz trade it in on this one..

[B1inkyb0y]

well good luck with the trade? they will give you shit all on a bike that old man, private would be better

[spazmoso]

the linkage is great for motocross,but enduro racing/riding benefit from not having the xtra peices to get hung up and break,otherwise its a nice looking bike the orange frame makes it really pop.but thats a wierd dissplacement to many classes in an economy that cant support the 250/450 4stks and the 125/250 2stks.

[LamborghiniV12M]

this is a POS

[jer1975dog]

looks like 2001 yz250f, in orange.

[wgjgoijgoeag]

@jer1975dog

hahahaha!

[ultralowmass]

You dont have to be a pro to benifit by optimised suspension. Tests repeatedly show that even amature riders gain more speed with precise suspension set up than all other mods put together.

[ultralowmass]

Hamtrak is right, their linkless works "fine". BUT it doesnt work great. All the bikes have seen years of refinment. We are entering an era where "fine" is ok but great is expected. The point is this, with just a few minor adjustments the likless can work great. A few aftermarket copanies that reall kno how have done it. At these prices there is no excuse for the mfgs not to get it very close to great. A link adds unessasary complexity , weight, $.

[jonas574721]

im thinking abut selling my 09 yz450 for this? should I?

[BGleaves123]

Yawn. Get a better spokesman.

[bhodgson84]

i came everywhere...

50hp stock out of a 350, nuts

alot lighter than a 450, dirtygirl

ORANGE=FTW

and its about damn time ktm changed the shape of their plastics

this bike =pure win

[herse88]

@bhodgson84 No way u can get 50hp from stock 350cc!35-38 the most

[bhodgson84]

how do you figure that when their 450 makes 63? a 250 makes more hp than that.

[gtyamaha]

450s make 48 average....

[bhodgson84]

@gtyamaha

KTM 450s, their 450 ATV makes 51 stock.

hell even can-ams atv makes 48, dirtbikes are closer to low to mid 50s, KTM makes incredible motors, always have.

[gtyamaha]

Agreed, my 200xc makes 46, as much as jap bikes 450's !

[PITBIKER98]

@gtyamaha uhh 450s make more then 52hp+

[skater4circa940]

250's make no more than 50hp

[PITBIKER98]

@bhodgson84 wow no fucking wayyy!!! 250 2 stroke making more then 63hp? LOL CR500AF=65hp+ 2010 ktm250sx=49hp

[ktmracer3500]

@herse88 Dude the 250 sx-f makes 38 hp.

[MrMdC94]

I WAS THER

[ultralowmass]

Nope. 350 to 380 is the ideal overall package. Small enough to rev higher, big enough to have reasionable tourque. Balance as u say IS super important. Balance everywhere, not just the chassy. KTM has very good ideas and they build motors that are the envy of all the mfgs. I am dissapointed that they went to a link though. They never got their linkless design worked out wich is a shame because it likley can work just as well as a link without the addd mass and complexity.

[hamtrak]

The linkless rear susp. works fine,have you ever ridden a KTM? The pro riders bitch about no link but the average person wouldn't know the difference. I've ridden Suz,Hon,Kaw and the KTM 250 sxf feels no different to me.

[LamborghiniV12M]

The new YZ450F is going to eat this for lunch and spit it out. Going to less power with this 350 is not the answer.....designing a better ballanced bike like the 2010 YZ450F was the right answer. There are lots of guys than can ring out a 450....so why would they want a smaller engine?

[ddd1199]

in a 30 min moto its a lot less to hold on to.

[TJScott2012]

the whole reason they have a lite class. sure there are people who use a 450 to its fullest potential, but very, very few. this bike has (close to) the 450 power and the 250 lightweight, theres nothing id rather have.

[ktmracer3500]

@LamborghiniV12M Buddy in some of the latest 2010 shootouts the KTM 450 won, and Yamaha got third with the Kawi getting second and the Honda getting last the new Yamaha isn't that great.

[herse88]

WTF!more bolts and nuts =more maintanace

wots on next yrs model?

may space to fit a tool box lol

[hondarida209]

that guy does not seem like he knows what he is talking about..eff KTM they should stay in europe...dumb ass

[gnz2600]

You obviously arnt a fan of motocross if you say he doesn't no what he's talking about. 10 world titles to his name...... Ring any bells....

[Aqaro]

@gnz2600

he said what they told him to say ;]

[WilsonJwil]

wow thats stefan everts 10 time world champion smarty guy

[MrKtmrider118]

ktm da best :D

how much is one wen they come out ?

[NMdesertracer]

To me this bike really doesnt make to much sense. Ok we have a 250,350,450 so we should just get rid of the 250's and the 450's and just race all in one gay ass class in MX.

[abizzo]

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh­hhhhh

[LamborghiniV12M]

KTM's suck... I owned 4, and the last one was a 2009. I'll never buy another one again. Kawasaki for us from now on.

[ktm133]

KTM<3

[Drouin707]

@LamborghiniV12M

1. it took you 4 KTMs to realize that Japanese bikes are better?

2. so you went Kawi?! LMAO

ROFL

LOL

HAHAHAHAHA X)

[LamborghiniV12M]

I was blinded by brand... had to have it had to have it. I made more excuses that i could think of every time one blew up, or the transmission fucked up.

The lap times went up on the Kawasaki KXF and we are now done a full season with NO problems

[xsKTMsx]

...and - READY TO RACE ;) !!!

[casnick1]

I agree. The only reason 250 2s stopped racing in AMA was because of the environmental laws that forced manufacturers to develop environmentally friendly four-stroke technology. The 450 4S was designed to compete with the 250 2S. The manufacturers, having spent millions on development, pushed the 450's by supplying the top AMA riders and the 250's took a back seat. Introduction of the 350 4s class will definately bring back the 250 2s. It has the same power as a 450 so why would you race it?

[casnick1]

Sorry, I meant to say, "why wouldn't you race it?"

[guiporal]

as on many things, ktm came up with high develped parts...and after a while they become a standard between dirtbike makers.

like making hidraulic brakes & clutch a standard on all models.

I always wondered why don't yamaha honda or kawas make very detailed parts as ktm does...

I'm completely sure that if that 350 is availiable for 2010 I'll sell my 530 to get it.

I hope its weight is some where close to the 250's range.

[useakme45]

I'm surprised Yamaha didn't think of this, but good for KTM. I think it'll be a huge hit and other manufacturers will follow suit.

[paulusandronicus]

this is it!

[livetoride249]

well ktm is not known for its CC classes lol. i dont know about other brands following its footsteps

[ELBEAU]

i have a boner

[dirtrider200ktm]

SICK

[qwerty1869]

that is fuckin sexy, i have now made up my mind for a new bike.

[crf100person]

what class would this race with?

[M0TARDmx]

i think it will race up against the 450s as this is the replacement of the 450s soon after each brand makes there own 350 they will make a new 350 class :)

[jmicm13]

oh sweet goodness

[paintballafromhell09]

nice video guys!
