KTM has lifted the covers on its 2022 line-up of motocross and enduro bikes, unveiling a fresh new look for the latest year model.

The Austrian manufacturer is one of the biggest powerhouses in the industry, and in recent, years, has been a dominant force in racing across the globe with multiple titles in AMA Supercross, MXGP World Championship and the Hard Enduro World Championship.

Motocross

The motocross range from KTM includes the entire fleet of SX-F (four-stroke) and SX (two-stroke) SX models, along with its very own electric minibike.

What's new for 2022?

The current generation KTM motocross models have been widely successful since undergoing a major overhaul in 2019, and after being constantly refined over the previous three year models, this is the best KTM dirt bike line-up to date with just a few updates across the fleet.

The most obvious change for 2022 is visual - the complete two-stroke and four-stroke line-up comes with brand-new graphics, while the frame now comes in orange - just like the Red Bull KTM's of riders such as Cooper Webb or Jeffrey Herlings. To complement the fresh graphics and frame colour, the seat is now a factory-KTM inspired blue. 

The SX-F line-up has limited updates for 2020 aside from the visuals, which makes a lot of sense - it's already a proven package with a strong motor, the latest WP XACT suspension, hydraulic clutch, Brembo brakes, traction control, launch control, electric starter, and variable engine mapping. That's not to mention the ability to use your smartphone to tune the mapping via the Connectivity Unit, which is an additional accessory. 

The SX range also remains largely unchanged, and again, it comes with all the high-end components you expect on a KTM, such as WP XACT suspension, Brembo brakes, and hydraulic clutch. The revolutionary electric-powered KTM SX-E 5 also remains unchanged for 2022.

When is the new motocross range available?

The 2022 KTM SX-F and SX range is due to land dealerships across Australia from July 2021, with specific pricing for each model still to be confirmed.

What's new for 2022?

The latest generation enduro model from KTM was introduced for 2020 and has undergone a list of refinements for 2021 and now the 2022 version. 

Alongside two key updates for 2022, the new range comes with brand new graphics with highlights of blue, along with a blue seat cover. 

One of the key improvements for 2022 is updated WP XPLOR suspension, which is aimed at offering a firmer and more planted feel in the gnarliest terrain. 

Alongside the suspension upgrades are the addition of Maxxis MaxxEnduro tyres, which is a new tyre combo designed with durability, puncture resistance, and performance in mind.

When is the new enduro range available?

The 2022 KTM EXC range is due to hit dealerships from July this year, while the EXC Six Days editions won't be available until November.
