First Look: 2021 KTM & Husqvarna
MX and Cross-Country Models
Husqvarna's four-
stroke motocross
and cross-country
range also get
smartphone
connectivity
capabilities,
and like the new
KTMs, upgraded
forks.
K
TM and Husqvarna unveiled
its complete line of 2021
motocross and cross-country
models. The big news here, all
four-strokes (KTM's SX-F and
XC-F, and Husqvarna's FC and
FX) will have smartphone con-
nectivity capabilities for easier
engine mapping changes.
However, the required Wi-Fi
transmitter does not come with
the bikes, it must be purchased
separately. (Price has not yet
been announced.) The trans-
mitter that you buy is built into
a new handlebar pad which
replaces the original pad and
works off iPhone or Android
phones.
The app gives you many
options as to engine tuning, in-
cluding engine braking. There's
even a suspension setup aid.
Otherwise, the new KTM
and Husqvarna MX and cross-
country models see minor
refinements to the engine and
chassis, though they did get
the same major upgrades to
their WP Xact air forks that the
2020 KTM Factory Edition and
Husqvarna Rockstar Edition
models got. These bikes were
introduced earlier this year.

2020 KTM Factory Edition
and Husqvarna Rockstar
Edition models here.
