#racing #motocross #motorcycle #review
The 2024 KTM 450SXF Factory Edition is officially here and it comes with an updated frame, updated linkage and suspension settings, updated swingers and chain slider, new shrouds, and a new connectivity unit that allows you to connect your smartphone to the bike via WiFi to change ECU map settings. This bike is a preview of what's to come on the 2025 KTM 450SXF model. With the new unit, you can increase or decrease engine braking, throttle response and traction control. Plus, thanks to a partnership with LitPro, you can track your lap times, segment times, G-forces sustained, average speed and much more. Plus, you can monitor gear position and rpm around the track as well. Plus, the Factory Edition comes with Dunlop MX34 tires, Akrapovic muffler, skid plate, WP start device, split triple clamps, factory power parts wheels and more. In this video, Josh Mosiman shares what we've learned from riding the pre-production bike in Austria and our first impressions from riding today.

Excellent review overview. Amazing photos and videography!

Good info on the 14-52 gearing. I was hoping you would mention something about that. The amount of chain slack required on my 23 factory edition is ridiculous. Thing is slapping all over the place lol

[davidinLA]

Downshifting during a scrub? So, so much for me to learn. Excellent review guys.

[littemisscarrage]

at least WP are keeping all the suspension shops open thx guys

[bloomerb]

So, the 2024 factory edition has the 2022 frame.😄
I have 2, 2022 Austrian bikes. After riding friends 23 yzf250, whose suspension is setup for person 30lbs heavier than me. Night and day difference between the suspension, kyb is much better.

This bike longs to be a two-stroke. Look at the exhaust header from the side.... 👍

[jedielder]

It's crazy that you were rained out at Glenn Helen and then sunny skies and some dust on your track that is only 30 minutes away? Talk about micro climates. The bike looks nice. My brother bought a brand new 2023 and he loves it. Thanks for the video.
PS: He is having a little bit of a hard time transitioning from a bike that has traditional spring forks to the air setup. If I'm not mistaken, don't the factory teams use springs in both forks?

I’m a clydesdale of a man, 6’2 218lbs. I love the rigidity of my 24. Only complaint I had was the suspension was a bit soft and handle bars were about as flat as a xc mountain bike.

Video looks great! What camera do you use?

[OtisFlint]

2022 - We need a stiffer frame
2023 - It's too stiff
2024 - Lets go back to the 2022, but pretend it's new

[mxracer]

Great review. I want to ride there. Looks fun

When you upload your new maps, can you change both White/Blue map buttons? Or is like the old unity, which only allowed one to change the first map not the second map button.

[Joe-pblx]

so does the chain still bind with the swingarm arc?

[JurgenDV]

Please explain how the mapping works with the CUO. Can you change both green and white maps ? If you alter traction control i suppose it only makes a difference when you switch on TC on the handlebars ? An in depth video would be nice to show all the workings of the CUO and what it does in detail. Especially the engine program side.

I’m happy to see people like the new unit.

There will be a bit more stuff coming i’d simply guess.
The Unit as in non of the two parts is from LitPro of the CUO just to let one know.

[christopherchaffin]

So do you believe that the new linkage makes the bike softer and helps with overall rear traction

[DirtyMotoX]

do these also have problem with the wires getting water in them? i heard 23-24 have that issue, dont know if it has happened to anyone else

[RobStriegel]

Can the transponder be used for racing as opposed to renting a transponder?

[ryanxmx]

Very nice now come stock with spring forks

[quadcityracing]

Is FXR gear here to stay, looking fresh & classy.
