First Ride 2017 KTM 250SX 2 Stroke - Motocross Action Magazine

[@8pjbh1996]

Thank you for not ruining the video by putting some uninteresting song over the footage. Love hearing that two stoke sound!

[@PS3REACTIONSv2]

Please bring more videos on this bike. Really interested in it!

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

all bikes should sound like that. long live the 2 stroke!

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

all 2 strokes should have short style pipes instead of the ugly thing that makes it look like 4t the pro circuit to and carbon shorty would be awesome it weighs less than the FMF 635g titanium 2 pipe

[@ronaldtartaglia4459]

+jonathan oxlade now, now, don't be a weight weenie.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

lol 2 strokes are meant to light plus for there weight that extra HP don't make any difference like stock can destroy 250f bikes but then again a 300cc ported with a pro circuit to carbon shorty pipe with light weight clutch and wheel and engine ceramic bearings plus lighter rims lighter foot pegs it will be fun to ride a 102kg of bike after taking 1kg of extra weight of it

[@haymule]

+jonathan oxlade what do you think is the best shorty pipe for a 2 stroke?

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

pro circuit has a titanium and carbon shorty

[@thesickhorseranch]

That is some fast, smooth riding!

[@YZ250W1]

Nice bike! Nothing sounds better than a 2 stroke! I'll stick with my YZ.

[@alienxyt]

Me too!

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

your yz is outdated lol do you realise how much they put into making these bike 1 kg less yet it has a steel frame so go and fuck your aluminum frame that if they made it lighter it will break but chromoly is different they can make the frames thinner and lighter

[@YZ250W1]

jonathan oxlade Your brain is outdated and worthless. I'll ride whatever the hell I want moron, go fuck yourself.

[@markswartmx56]

Wow...that escalated quickly.

[@YZ250W1]

I'm usually a very nice person but some people just don't deserve to be treated with any respect. Jonathan seems to think he knows everything when in fact he knows very little.

[@bblair7519]

The sound of my people.

[@motorr4319]

haha Wyd lol

[@motorr4319]

wtf*

[@jimmypapanikolau4117]

I miss that sound! 👍

[@whis7952]

still here forever if ur into fmx and enduro , 2 strokes dominates by a mile

[@prototype3947]

Jimmy Papanikolau Mixing gas and kicking ass!

[@sean3431]

I had a 2-stroke 200cc four wheeler and it sounded amazing

[@stevedayton244]

I love the smell and sound of a two stroke!!! I the love the smell of bel- ray in the morning!!!!

[@ihavenoname5800]

That sounds is so fuckin good for the racing. Because that sound is so insane and looked like the untamed beast. And i think this is soo damn awesome. Good job KTM! 👍

[@FMSax]

Why didn't you Talk about the new added counterbalance shaft on this engine...that's why the engine is smoother, significantly less vibration. Did you know that?

[@whis7952]

awesome

[@douglasfriesen5506]

I hope that two strokes make a serious comeback, nothing carves and brings it like a ringer, safer and quieter and less co2 emissions than a four

[@paulmader1052]

Sounds nice but it's KTM and I like how you sped up the frame rate a little

[@paetonmcallister2397]

I found a (practically brand new, barely used) 2016 KTM 250sx for 1,500 ,good buy?

[@1kiwigary]

Best thing I ever did was sell the 350F and buy a 250 2t. Worse thing I ever did was buy a four stroke.

[@davezanin1863]

Dont make that mistake again lmao well said!!

[@stumpinater]

@1kiwigary Did yu notice less vibration on the new 250 2t compared to the 350f? I have the 17 Husky fc350 and considering going to the 17 250 2t.

[@georgeboswell4620]

The “HOT” STIC vs TPI Fuel injection: Extensive dyno testing reveals the STIC metering block installed in a Keihin Air Striker has lower emissions and greater performance than the TPI. The STIC/Keihin system compensates for altitude and temperature changes. The STIC is able to sense which engine it is on and to calibrate vapor production as well as air/fuel flow accordingly. In two separate parts of the world; Japan, KTM 250; and in the United States [New Mexico] a Husqvarna 300; they both run identical jetting. With the STIC the same jetting applies from sea level to +9000 feet. I am anxious to see Mark’s driving impression of his 2019 TPI compared to his 2017 with the Keihin A/S STIC equipped.

[@rona2069]

I'd like to see KTM come out with a 500 SX!!

[@mainwolfe]

railin corners AND lines!

[@DehxterX]

The reason why I liked it because of the kickstart and it fast asf

[@beezybusy9248]

That was super fast!

[@Balithazzarr]

I needed to hear this. I miss my Kawasaki kdx200. This ktm is a Cadillac.

[@plumbit111]

For 2018 let's make a 350-450 2 stroke to compete in the 450 class!

[@yabbadabba1975]

AMA rules put the 250 two stroke in the 450 class.

[@plumbit111]

I understand that's what I was saying is that we need to bring back open class 2 strokes

[@ozan_06_45]

i bought 2017 ktm 2017 250 sx 2 stroke and i fucking love it..

[@leeham273]

it really is a kickass bike bro, I got one myself. Midrange is crazy on it. Pulls so hard out of corners.

[@ktmcrush2290]

damn that thing rips

[@aigarslaktins8502]

BRRAAAAAP ireland

[@Carrera159]

Hi mate, just a question. I have a ktm 300 exc 2012 and i ride it in endure obviously. Now i'd like to do motocross and if i have to change bike which would be better? a 150sx or a 250sx? Thanks

[@hockeysnipez2795]

Francesco Paladino yz250

[@krazyspartanodst]

That place is right behind where I live

[@Mezkarigen]

wait, i can already buy the 2017 models ?????

[@joemarielongno5987]

I like the sound of 2 stroke...

[@stephenstovall2417]

Finally a video by motocross action without some shitty emo music. Thanks you for letting the engine be the music.

[@395PRS]

How real Motocross bikes should always sound! Two stroke heaven! Put fuel injection and direct injection into production for the two strokes please!, Now! This will rid the Cal emmissions bull crap and fix other common carb issues of the past. And finally Now, Just change back the class rules so 2 strokes and 4 strokes will compete fairly in their apropriate classes again. This will only be a win win for manufacturers and consumers(called common sense!). Is Anyone listening?

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

yep let's add 6 pounds of extra weight aswel dumb shit lol

[@motorr4319]

+jonathan oxlade horsepower will make up for that 6 pounds

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

we want forced direct injection instead of EFL

[@ktmcrush2290]

395PRS they do already

[@snowzZzZz]

6 pounds is nothing if the increase in overall performance compensates for the added weight.

[@Grassclibbins125]

When I saw 2017 I just stood here saying wtf for 5 mins

[@charlesgable3446]

Join the crowd

[@5.793]

Anthony Bova lmao

[@trentboulanger8245]

good to see their back, hmmm honda how bout you eh big red

[@evanrodriguez8663]

Nice bike

[@marklowe7431]

What freaks me out is how good almost all the bikes are these days.

[@asmith0609]

This bike any good for enduro? 2 stroke EXC's are hard to find. =/

[@chassell13]

get an xcw 2 stroke I personally have a 300 xcw love the bike plenty of power and perfect for the track and in the woods

[@doobyboy21]

The bike on the left is mine and it's a 2 stroke :)

[@johnathanyinger]

Excessive Vibrations? The last time you could make that claim was when you deemed the TM400 the "Widowmaker". Now that thing vibrated!

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

right? I have a 13'250SX and I don't even notice the vibrations. I loled a little when they said that. of course it vibrates more than a 450F but 2strokevs4stroke!

[@Dwg67]

I had one, ya it vibrated but man it had some power for its day.

[@claytonbennett2068]

sold my 06 yz 250 for this !

[@JbFixCorleone]

Why tHey have the EXC silencer on?!

[@nukedbunny8642]

Soo..when is the giveaway?

[@bamadondon0495]

the bottom end just ISN'T there like a 4stroke. don't get me wrong I LOVE 2stroke just like anyone WHO REALLY KNOWS BIKES. But he couldn't even Double Double going up hill there's no bottom end like a 4stroke

[@nadeemjalihal4601]

so nice video

[@AppleBag1000]

its on the pipe sir

[@joshuadodson6874]

Can I trail ride this bike?

[@wyattlarson1104]

Does anyone els have issues with a stiff throttle on the 2017 sx?

[@adamorona6343]

how can i become a test rider?

[@truthbetold8425]

KTM 250 2-stroke won the Canadian Motocross Nationals 2 years in a row against the 250 4-strokes.

[@pretz4ls123]

Huge power difference

[@zackk695]

I have been out of motocross since they started racing the 4 strokes so it has been years.Does this mean they are going to start building the 2 strokes again in all brands? I never could get into the sound of the 4 strokes and thought it was silly sounding and almost embarrassing,The sound,power band,look,etc is all part of it.I would like to see them come back.Not sure how the EPA can control this when they are racing all kinds of cars,using weed eaters,chainsaws,etc that put out pollution.U have also heard Houston no longer has a supercross which meant the sport was dieing out.Part of this is that the kids today are just not into the tough stuff.They play video games and baseball at best.The bikes also became so expensive that they are waaay out of reach for most of the middle class which also killed the sport.

[@nickp.7156]

No, the answer is no.

[@robertduke9599]

I was faster on my kx125 than my kx450f

[@kevinstearns4198]

once again its the rider not the machine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Racinghoney]

Coooooles Video !

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

but did it make the up hill 174ft triple?

[@jacobriver198]

really? there were people jumping it on a 125 just fine.....

[@nicholasbaldwin1674]

do you smell the sarcasm in the air? This bike is like very close in HP to the 450s and has more than the 250Fs so of course it was making it!... I just didn't see it in the video. OH and for reference I own this bike! (not the year of course)

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

lol there is a difference in displacement vs HP but if we were talking straight track drag race 450cc wins but if it was a tight track where a lighter bike is required a 450cc will be eating dust instead.

[@motomafia9958]

does anyone no it this is a good beginner bike

[@ktmcrush2290]

Moto Mafia no buddy go get a yz or Suzuki

[@nomdeguerre13]

right, but so many just toss this carb from other bikes. Keihin must be better cuz the yahoos in computerland say so. Then they proclaim a success due to the expense, but couldn't jet either. Pretty excited about this bike and the carb, gonna work great.

[@kartalucar9066]

aman allahım rüyalarimdaki motor ve ses ama biliyorumki hep rüyamda binicem yapanların eline sağlık emeğinize deymis çok güzel

[@joshuacaroway9601]

what's the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke

[@whis7952]

2 stroke is the bike in this video, sounds like a bee.. while 4 stroke sounds louder like farts XD

[@joshuacaroway9601]

+Whis 79 so it's just sound

[@robertduke9599]

lol, are you guys serious? You do not know the difference? Four stroke has cam and valves, and has four cycles. Intake, compression , power, exhaust. Two stroke has no valves or cam. The piston acts as the valves for intake and exhaust and it has a power stroke every time the piston goes up. Thats why it makes so much power and doesn't weight that much. And you can work on them with a butter knife. And to rebuild the top end all you need is a piston and gaskets and spark plug, and it only takes an hour. Motocross is for the rich kids now.

[@byronschwarzl9104]

What song at the start

[@macaholic100]

Two strokes!

[@ozan_06_45]

its a weapon .. if ur a fist rider on this make sure to sit as closer to the fuel cap

[@johnsmith-hi4kk]

BRRAAAAAP! LUV IT!

[@welitonslv9100]

pow alguém pode me patrocina uma moto dessa ktm 250 meu sonho.

[@chriscardoza9714]

what's a line because you don't us them..

[@vevohoeyo]

look at how slow he gets up that big hill at Glen Helen then watch the 450 guys going up there. people think these 250 ts can keep pace.. put there noses up hill and watch the 4stroke 450 show that little vibrating ting ting what's up

[@robertduke9599]

You mean factory 450s? 450 cc versus 250? Lets see 500cc two stroke go up that hill with a hill climb engine in it?

[@vevohoeyo]

+kmyers18 can't you guys get over the fact that 4 strokes are the preferred motocross machine.. they have some broader power curve meaning they are faster in more areas on the track.

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

lol your wrong if we are talking 250cc vs 450cc but 250cc vs 250cc 2 strokes destroy the same cc to cc but a 450cc on straights will out run 2 stroke 250cc but a 250cc with a 300cc kit will be the best and the most fun light bike ever made like some people love heavy bikes but some prefer the lighter but controlleable with more than enough power we don't need big big bore bikes all bikes cam do 60mph on the track but the lighter bike has its place intill it hits the straights then the lazy fat cunts on 450cc are like should of got a bigger cc bike that's bullshit because everyone feels comfortable on a lighter bike and squeeze everything out of it I rather hold it open than have a heavy 450cc and only use half the power it's not fun when you can't use it to its full potential MX is meant to be fun not boring and you should be able to just hold a bike wide open and enjoy the fun

[@fatadam16]

overall it's a pretty nice bike braaaaaaap braaap braaaaaaaaaap

what the hell is with everyone saying it sounds so good, it's just a 2t, nothing special about it at all.

[@nomdeguerre13]

wonder how many are going to become sheople and replace that "horrible" Mikuni carb because the internet experts and associated hysteria indicates that it can't possibly work.

[@AliasedClub]

cuz most people wont understand so they keep it basic when talking about the bike
