Dirt Bike Magazine tests the 2024 KTM 125SX 2 Stroke at Cahuilla Creek Motocross Park. The 2024 KTM 125SX is the most technologically advanced 125cc motocross machine that KTM has ever produced with an electric starter, two optional pre-programmed maps that can be changed on the fly, electronic power valve, electric starter and a throttle-body fuel-injection system. Combined with all the other features like Brembo braking components, WP suspension, a tool-less-access airbox and hydraulic clutch, this has got to be the best 125cc made, right?
Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet, because with technological advancements almost always comes some bugs that need to be worked out. Compared to the previous generation, the 2024 KTM 125SX only retains the use of the WP fork assembly, Brembo braking hardware, wheel fitment, Magura hydraulic clutch actuator and a few other components.
If you are a serious racer in the intermediate or pro division, the 2024 KTM 125SX might not be the smart first choice for a couple of reasons. But, for the average 125cc pilot, this bike is easier to keep in the meat of the power, has an electric starter, the guessing game of jetting is eliminated by fuel injection, mapping options are on the fly, has great brakes and an overall handling package that fits a wide variety of riding skill levels. You just have to be honest with yourself about what you are looking for.

Sounds like a highschool student reading a book report

@guitarjunkie

I bought a 2024 KTM 125 sx a few weeks ago and I assure you it hits hard! It hits harder than my 2022 KTM 150 sx with a fresh top end! The 125 hits hard then keeps pulling giving it the illusion of a “Linear” powerband mentioned. In my experience ,it doesn’t “sign off at the top” as also mentioned! Any real 2 stroke guy will figure this bike out within minutes…just feather the clutch and hold on tight!!!

@kennethpowers8995

Two strokes are meant to be extremely simple powerhouse engines. A piston slapping around in a jug with a couple holes to let air in and out while eating up a high volume of oil & gas. Once you start “modernizing” the design and trying to make it more efficient by giving it computer controlled fueling and throttle control etc. you might as well put a cam in it and make it a 4 stroke.

@kennedyracing7527

Why do you test all the same bikes over and over again?? There are other bike on the market like TM racing, Kove, Beta . Ktm bike are now boring they change the color and say it’s a new model and now they’re going to be making in China. I won’t buy any KTM bikes because of that! They’re are selling out to the Chinese and Indian because they’re afraid to make premium bikes like Ducati

@toddpillow3074

Most of the the tech sounds good but the weight is bad…. Also, who really needs the button on a 125???? Give KTM a couple of years to get all the settings worked out and this bike will be awesome. I’ve ridden KTM for 25 years and would NEVER buy the first year of anything new.

@jimpanzer07

Down 3-4 hp? Should be up that amount with all the tech, maybe KTM will find them ponies in a couple of years🤠

@metalofthedeath

The yz sounds so much cooler

@M_Duhamel17

More weight , less power , higher MSRP. What’s not to like ?

@torr-michaelbennetta9785

I'll take a YZ, thanks.......

Wee hornet. Need to keep her buzzing. Good bike if you weigh 50 kilos or you are 10 years old.

@Equinsu_Ocha

You just cant kill thr 2 stroke. Music to our ears those things 😎

@eric6rock

I have the 2023 TC125 Heritage, I was originally and supposedly going to get the 300tx 😂. I’m glad I didn’t, it would’ve been WAY to much bike for me to handle i also feel a 250f would be way to heavy for me coming off from a KX100.

@thedirtbikingyeti1353

If I was you I'd sound a lot more happier doing this video!!😂

@Pompomgrenade

I don't know about the bike but the Rider was ripping!!

@ed11.

Which track is that ?

@jakesubi

I love my 24 ktm125. Videos on my page using the green map on my account. so nice to not have to deal with a carb too. thing is fast

@murilostokes2

2024 125 shootout when ??

@gregducati999

Can you guys test a Tomasin T500 cr500? To me that’s the coolest bike kit on the planet right now and maybe do a comparison again the brc kids and a old school cr500

@mrad.13

I don't like the idea of not having a kick start but I am interested with the fuel injector.. I'm an average rider that will probably never see a track and really love the classic too stroke.. Being much older and just wanting a good bike to ride. This might be the best of both worlds... a 2stroke that rides a little easier...

@dormantmenace

Eeh I stick with carburetor .. the hard hitting 2 stroke power is actually largely do to mediocre needle selection by manufacturers. Wich results in lean spots followed by proper fuel air. Or rich spots followed by lean or various combinations of inconsistencies in the rpm range vs fuel air ratio. Manufacturers Focused seemed to be in proper full throttle Jetting and off idle as they are typically mx race bikes. Unless the motor is just ported in a manner resulting in a very peaky rpm range. Wich isn't uncommon for a after market port job targeted at mx and peak hp. But bike can also be ported to have smoother wider power delivery. Or have squish band and port hight altered to shift rpm range. Or pipe selection as well.
