QUICKSPIN I 2026 KTM 250 SX-F Factory Edition P118 In the past, KTM Factory Edition models have come fitted with upgraded suspension components, but never this close to what the actual KTM factory racers use. The new 250 SX-F Factory Edition is outfitted with factory-level suspension straight out of KTM's Pow - erParts catalog, à la WP Pro Compo- nents Xact Pro 7548 fork and Xact Pro 8950 rear shock. Known in the industry as the cone-valve fork and the Trax shock, this is A-kit, top-of-the-line stuff. If you were to buy these units, your wal - let would be at least six grand lighter!
