VOLUME 57 ISSUE 26 JUNE 30, 2020 P17
KTM's 2021 four-
stroke motocross
(SX-F) and cross-
country models
(XC) come with
smartphone
connectivity
capabilities.
Other changes to the four-strokes
include new mapping (450 only), a new
connecting rod with new bushings (450),
new hour-meter casting (450), new base
suspension settings, and new low-friction
linkage bearings. All of the bikes, four-
stroke and two-stroke, are fitted with
Dunlop Geomax MX33 tires.
The two-stroke motocrossers (KTM's
SXs and Husqvarna's TCs) received most
of the same suspension and chassis
changes as the four-strokes. Two-stroke-
specific changes include new throttle
assemblies and the 125s getting new
pistons. CN
