KTM launched their SX-E 5 with some fanfare<br />
this week and deservedly so. The bike<br />
will not hit KTM dealers until next month<br />
(the last quarter of 2019) but there has<br />
been a high degree of anticipation about<br />
this model considering the path of development<br />
and the ramifications for introducing<br />
new kids and riders to off-roading. The SX-E<br />
5 is aimed at three-ten year olds with ‘comparable<br />
power output to the KTM 50 SX’<br />
and ‘six power modes allowing a complete<br />
beginner to step on with ease, whilst the<br />
full power mode is exciting and challenging<br />
for the fastest junior’. The chassis can be<br />
adjusted to cope with the child’s changing<br />
height. The SX-E 5 has been given the same<br />
R&D importance as any other SX model<br />
and the WP Suspension means this is a key<br />
part of the wide KTM MX range.<br />
“It offers a premium chassis, like those on<br />
all of our SX models, but also a lot in terms<br />
of rideability thanks to the electric motor,<br />
as it’s easy to ride, but at the same time it<br />
can be super-fast without making noise,”<br />
says KTM’s Senior Product Manager for<br />
<strong>Off</strong>road Joachim Sauer. “We tested the bike<br />
with such a wide range of riders; the complete<br />
beginner can ride on a track almost<br />
straight away, yet a national level rider can<br />
have comparable lap times to that of the<br />
combustion bike, which is something special.”<br />
