First Ride 2021 KTM 450SXF - Motocross Action Magazine

#motocross #supercross #dirtbike
Motocross Action tests the 2021 KTM 450SXF out at Glen Helen Raceway in Southern California. MXA was fortunate enough to get their hands on the 2021 KTM this week. This is the 4th bike in the 450 class that Motocross Action has been able to test. We had our Kawasaki, Husqvarna, and Yamaha out at the track as well to compare these bikes with the KTM. The KTM enters the 2021 class with changes to the suspension and mapping. Although the bike looks extremely similar to the 2020, it is quite a bit different. Check out what editor Josh Mosiman had to say about our first day of testing on the KTM and where it might rank in the competitive field of 450 dirt bikes. We hope you enjoy, like, and subscribe for more videos from Motocross Action Magazine.

Thank you for noting the Husky vs KTM changes! Looking forward to hearing more thoughts. Bummer that the Husky still has the screen in the exhaust (although it is different than past screens - I threw on my FMF slip-on before my first ride on the '21). Interested in hearing more moving forward!

[@oldg7847]

Great insight for sure. Always fun watching Josh ride .. Sweet style.. Thnx for the content MXA...

[@carlosclass787]

What a great video! Love the content and we're really looking forward to the shootout! Thanks MXA.

[@eugenespreutels8305]

Great video Josh, love all the info and also just watching you ride. Still waiting for the '21 250sx test though, my 18 is needing a replacement, haha!

[@vetb882]

Nice test, Josh. 👍👍🏽

[@cameronwilson8963]

I got a 2019 150 shit rips hard

[@Jacobdonnelly5]

You have to ride the 2021 125sx

[@jaydentaffe8817]

This bike is sick as 🤟🏻, and when do you guys think we will know about the 2021 suzuki rm-450 and 250?

[@chazzgonzalez1356]

Jayden Taffe881 never

[@joshmosiman1955]

@Jayden Taffe881 Not sure yet, we haven't gotten word on those bikes yet, hopefully soon!

[@worksracingbikes]

2021 rmz are for late September, seems they are bng again. Hope suzuki is gonna show them during pro motocross...

[@mobgma]

stock pipe looks decent unlike the kawisucki with the 8ft long muffler

[@twistedjigco.548]

Those 8ft pipes sooooo ugly😭😂😂😂

[@NickW90]

So is it only the uk bikes that get the “my ktm” power app??

[@yvbeers3709]

I was wondering that to because i saw it on the official release from ktm but they never mentioned it in the video's and didn't see the button on the bar pad.

[@ryancharlton755]

They said it later in the Video that they have it they just didn’t do anything with it

[@dualsportedc]

Traction control on a motocross bike? What’s next? Will they add a parachute to make landing off of big jumps easier?

[@TTR66]

KTM rules...over Decades...Only Maico was near that level!!!A Next level,Bike with a optional Bluetooth pack for individual set up Engine...usw all controlable via the KTM handy App...Very nice feat

[@blugods2655]

@@TTR66 😂😂 my 2016 yz450f has traction control and you can purchase a tuner made by Yamaha with more adjustability than Ktms brand new bike

[@chrisvozza6530]

Good review and that test rider rips. Good rider like his style

[@joshmosiman1955]

Thank you Chris!

[@jordymagro7426]

Nothing on the new bar pad and ktm app?

[@joshmosiman1955]

@Jordy Magro we don't have it yet, just got the first KTM yesterday. Hopefully we will have it soon and include info on it in our KTM 250 and 350 videos.

[@TripleT219]

Word is they will be available in September. Glad they got the bikes out first, but eager to test it once mine shows up!

[@cheapgravy7137]

Cool

[@sambuvca22]

722 on site y’all.

[@mosteller1953]

I can’t bloody decide between a 2021 Honda CRF450R and the 2021 KTM 450. Help? Thank you.

[@Yp3ri0n]

KTM 450!! 1 horse lower but a lot better distributed.

[@thomaswebby2431]

You’ll hate the mapping on the honda

[@twistedjigco.548]

The Hondas power delivery is intimidating. Unless your intermediate or pro and want the feel of a built race 450 then get the Honda. Fc 450 is smooth and easy, not too much. I’m sure the ktm is too.

[@magderossi1387]

I'm 6'3" and still racing. 30mm shorter rear and 10mm shorter front??? I'll be keeping my 2020450SXF. My forks never felt to harsh? We have dropped the shock mount 8mm on the frame (cut&Tig). So I have longer 24mm more travel in the rear and it corners much better. Weirdest thing I ever heard of moving it higher? But hey this is still 2020 and the year is not over with.

[@thomaswebby2431]

The husky’s the short one

[@MadCityBuzzcom]

Those Goggles are on Point !! just sayin...

[@emersoncoelho7187]

120 mph top speed?

[@tecate2127]

123 mph

[@dimz_ap]

120mph on dirt??

[@3dwezzy740]

Is it fast

[@dominicpayne23]

No

[@marcelodourado8818]

What happened to the ktm designers, the bike is simpler than the 2020 model

[@thomaswebby2431]

That’s good though

[@dustin9035]

Listen carefully, except for the fork, nothing has really changed.

[@borntwice4724]

Why do test riders always wear orange helmets?

[@codenamenoob4973]

It's MXA's colour

[@joshmosiman1955]

It's branding for us, that way, when you see an orange helmet, you know it's MXA testing. We like to stick out from the crowd

[@andynewell7096]

Bring back 2 strokes, 4 strokes sound like tractors. They should only be used in cars and lawnmowers.

[@ConnerBonner1]

Every time when you say “husqvarna”, it sounds like you’re saying “huskabarna”. Please say it right

[@DemreCan]

What about Gas Gas

[@anticrime7019]

Loslos mo
