A lot of hype has been surrounding the all-new 2016 KTM production line, so we sent Charles Bright and Jordan Roberts out to Ironman Raceway to see if the new SX-F, SX, and XC-F models lived up to it. Completely redesigning the chassis and engine doesn’t always equate to a better bike in the first year following the changes, but KTM has been able to use their Factory Editions as a stepping stone for radical changes and it seemed to work out.
The bikes handle superbly and produce a lot of manageable horsepower. We didn’t get into too many of the technical aspects in this video, but we did cover that in a previous 250 Words as well as a Breaking News post that announced the major changes.
