(Above) The production
Factory Edition model isn't far
off from what the Red Bull KTM
Team riders, Marvin Musquin
and Cooper Webb, are riding.
(Right) High-end components
are everywhere, including the
orange rear sprocket, orange
spoke nipples and D.I.D Dirt
Star rims. (Left) There is a new
semi-floating disc brake under
that new disc guard.
FACTORY UPGRADES
For 2019 KTM has launched yet another Factory Edition machine to carry the torch. This bike is on the
heels of 2018's major 450 SX-F line update but still gets some significant upgrades. A new piston and
connecting rod highlight the engine updates, while handling upgrades include new factory-machined
triple clamps with a unique clamping surface and refined suspension settings all around on the newly
re-branded WP XACT Fork (formerly AER48). The front brake is also updated to a floating rotor.
Like all Factory Editions, the bike has significant, exclusive add-ons. For 2019, these include D.I.D
Dirt Star rims laced to machined and anodized hubs, and an Akrapovic slip-on silencer, as well as factory
graphics, a Selle Dalla Valle seat, composite skid plate, front disc guard and a flashy orange frame that
makes you feel awesome. Just so you don't have an excuse for not getting to the first turn first, there's also
a holeshot device. There's an orange rear sprocket, obviously, to make you feel awesome again.
