For little aspiring motocrossers, the 65cc two-stroke is a necessary stop along the way between the 50 and the 85. For the young track-focused competitor, the KTM 65 SX is not only a size increase, but a significant step up that introduces shifting and clutch coordination. It is fully manual, just like the big bikes, with a six-speed gearbox and an exciting top-end powerband. Hydraulic clutch and disc brakes at the controls and fully adjustable suspension mean sharp performance in a ready-to-race package.
Adjustable ergonomics mean the KTM 65 SX can grow with little racers. Height-adjustable suspension, handlebar position, subframe, and bodywork make it possible to adjust from a 28.1-inch seat height to 29.9 inches.
The 2025 KTM 65 SX is available in orange for $5,749.
- Cobra CX65, $5,998
- Husqvarna TC 65, $5,849
- Yamaha YZ65, $4,499
