Guessing if a person holds out for the 2016 hoping it's like this years Factory, TS will have the fit kit figured out and ready to go by fall?


And what about KMS on turbo kits?

Would you mind filling us in in the changes... what is different in the factory 2016 450 bike from the same in 2015?

Any links or photos?

Thanks in advance.

Rumors and wishful thinking at this point.


Hope is that the 2016 450SX will be just like the 2015 450SX Factory adition?


Lighter and deferent motor, etc. etc.



2015 450SX factory edition is 10.3 pounds lighter than a regular SX.

From what I've heard it's more powerful too along with being 10lbs lighter. Lots of changes from what I could see... stuff changed like peg mounts, bar mounts, and other extras that fit on the 12.5-15sx bikes.

From what I can measure without pulling the swing arm out, the 450FE and 450sxf seem to be the same. So current 2015 450sxf should work on the 16' bike with FE upgrades. Not a rumor anymore, KTM has confirmed the 16's will get the FE make over.

Getting closer, dealers have them up on their sites asking for a quote.


They lobed over an inch off the seat height, not liking that.

New motors for the 450, 350 and 250 4-bangers. Biggest thing that blew my mind is the 57hp figure for the new sxf 350 motor. That's 10 more than the 2015 350.
