The KTM 65 SX was a motorcycle introduced by KTM in 1998, developed specifically for young riders. The small bike was powered by a 64cc two-stroke single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine married to a six-speed manual transmission.
In 2010, the bike received several improvements, such as a new ignition cover with improved sealing and a new engine case with improved reliability.
In addition, the Austrian manufacturer introduced a factory racing SXS version with increased power from 16 to 19.5 hp, including an FMF exhaust system, a holeshot device, an aluminum ignition cover, and a tuned carburetor.
In 2016, the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer launched the KTM 65 SX, a motorcycle that offered a good time for young riders without worrying about all the complicated trinkets that adult bikes come with.
Visually, the bike had standard features, such as a high-mounted front fender, a wide handlebar, a one-piece seat, an under-seat-mounted exhaust system, a dual-sided swingarm, and wire-spoke wheels shod with Bridgestone off-road tires.
The bike was built around a Chromium-Molybdenum central-type frame with a 35 mm inverted Marzoki fork on the front and a WP shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum handling capabilities.
As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a 200 mm disc on the front and a 160 mm disc on the rear, providing optimum stopping power.
