2016 KTM 50 SX MINI Review
Design - we have here is a dream SUV, it looks the part. KTM has taken the most essential features, and adjust down the riders around four feet tall. Rider triangles substantially the same relative proportions of the big boys bike, just scaled down; this growth to a larger bike riders, they will maintain the same position, they are accustomed to. Because there are so many other sports, motocross involving muscle memory component, so the position of the body is a very important issue.
Chassis - despite the fact that this is not exactly take to deal with, what would you call "bone-crushing" force, the factory was built around it has a relaxed, there ─ strong, double cradle, central tube frame processing in mind. Austrian engineer listed in the steering head angle of 67.4 degrees, but it is from the horizontal plane. On our side of the pond (and other countries), we measure from the vertical, so we call it a 22.6 degree steering head. No matter how you call it, it's set up for quick strokes and agile cornering.
WP suspension components at both ends of the bike buoy with 35 mm inverted front fork and coil-over monoshock swing arm. This is overkill for such a small bike? Maybe so, but it says, to pay attention to the details of the factory, and introduced the children a brand suspension, they will see their dirt bike rest of his life. The front suspension has less than 4 inches of travel just a hair, there are 6.73 inches rearward travel of 72.4 inches of ground clearance - a lot of cute little whoops and children jump on the course.
Rims laced to provide almost the same energy absorption there is a greater deflection bicycle, for the same reason - just another feature, so that passengers feel continuity, because they move in size - the same key is pressed Maxxis knobbies. Front and rear hydraulic brakes complete rolling chassis and Formula components. Not only perform wave brake discs dissipate more heat than conventional circular disc shape acts as a self-cleaning mechanism to prevent brake fade from the gravel between the rotor and pads.
Transmission - a little, 49 ml, two-stroke engine powered mini, and while keeping the center of gravity low, easy to operate, and fast recovery center when the abandoned factory to keep it as compact as possible. The engine is the only kickstart (let the kids sing their dinner, is not it?), Thereby saving weight and simplifying the wiring. Relatively large heat sink out of the engine cooling water jacket extends to the case.
Adjustable "KTM clicker system" centrifugal clutch and single-speed, automatic transmission with power to the rear wheels SANS clutch lever or shift, so this really is a "twisted it and forget it" power system - the perfect Rank beginners.
The suggested retail price of KTM 50 SX mini-run in the $ 3,699, and comes with a one-month limited warranty.
