Before The Gate- Factory-level hardware
The KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION raises the bar with a factory-level suspension upgrade that redefines READY TO RACE performance. Fitted as standard with the WP XACT PRO 7548 front fork and WP XACT PRO 8950 rear shock, this exclusive setup delivers unmatched precision, comfort, and control. The 48 mm WP XACT PRO 7548 fork features a closed-cartridge design with a unique valve system and friction-optimized internals, offering pinpoint response, rock-solid bottoming resistance, and consistent damping lap after lap. On the rear, the WP XACT PRO 8950 shock incorporates Supertrax technology and a linked damping system to maximize traction, smooth out harsh impacts, and boost rider confidence in every section of the track.
The strongest start- More Usable Power
When the gate drops you need to be the first to off the line in a bid to rule (and make) the roost. The 2026 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION boasts one of the strongest and most versatile 4-stroke powerplants in the pits, with its SOHC engine proving to be the perfect example of advanced engineering. With class-leading peak power output, and an overall engine weight of only 59 lb (26.8 kg), you'll leave the competition with more than a little mud on the face. The 2026 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION features an updated Akrapovic muffler, intake, and mapping, which increases rideability while meeting the latest FIM and AMA sound regulations. Crafted from lightweight titanium, the muffler's premium finish reflects its high-performance design -- and is available exclusively on this limited-run model.
Establishing the edge- Absolute Control
The KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION frame is built for riders who demand sharp handling and full control. Its refined flex characteristics let you carve berms, launch jumps, and tackle technical terrain with confidence. A streamlined rear shock mount boosts stability and traction, while optimized engine mounts and wall thickness ensure a balanced, responsive feel from front to back.
Tackling the tough- New WP PRO Suspension
The 2026 KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION now features the class-leading WP XACT PRO 7548 fork and WP XACT PRO 8950 rear shock. This means you'll be lining up at the setting gate with the ultimate set-up, reduced weight, pristine weight distribution and acute responsiveness.

It offers a wide range of functionalities and adjustability options via the KTMconnect app. The CUO gives you a new insight into your riding, allows you to alter your engine behavior, and even provides you with optimized suspension settings based on individual preferences and riding conditions.
