The modern 2-stroke engine is extremely compact and with its easily controlled smooth power delivery is ideal for motocross beginners. As a result of its 3-shaft design, the crankshaft is very close to the bike's centre of gravity, which has a positive impact on the handling. Another benefit of this design is a flow optimized intake angle into the reed valve, which results in and impressive performance. Because of the multidisc automatic clutch developed by KTM, power from the engine can be very easily controlled. As a result, the KTM 50 SX combines extremely well-behaved handling with maximum riding fun. If required, the clutch can be adjusted to the rider's personal needs within minutes and with no special tools required, or to the specific requirements of each individual track. For inexperienced novices, the engine power can be reduced to 5.4 bhp using a special kit from the KTM PowerParts program.
