Overview

Introducing the 2016 KTM 350 SX-F, a formidable contender in the world of cross-motocross motorcycles. As part of KTM's renowned lineup, this bike seamlessly blends the agility of a 250cc with the power of a 450cc, making it the go-to choice for riders seeking an edge in both competition and recreation. Designed for those who crave thrilling rides on challenging terrains, the 350 SX-F stands out with its striking orange and black aesthetics, embodying the brand's racing heritage while appealing to the modern motocross enthusiast. At the heart of the 350 SX-F lies a robust 349.70 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that is engineered for peak performance. With a high compression ratio of 14.0:1, this machine delivers a punchy powerband that ensures exhilarating acceleration and responsiveness. The combination of a 5-speed gearbox and liquid cooling allows for smooth gear transitions and optimal engine temperature management during those intense rides. Riders can expect a dynamic experience, thanks to its exceptional torque and lightweight frame, providing the perfect balance between speed and control on the track. The 2016 model excels not only in power but also in cutting-edge technology and features that enhance the riding experience. The WP-USD AER 48 front suspension and WP rear shock absorber with linkage offer an impressive 300 mm of travel, allowing for superior handling over rough terrain. Its lightweight 25CrMo4 steel central-tube frame provides durability without compromising agility, while the single disc brakes—260 mm in the front and 220 mm in the rear—ensure reliable stopping power when needed most. The bike’s electric starter adds convenience, allowing riders to get back on the throttle quickly after a stall, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned racers and newcomers alike. **
