Just been looking on KTM USA and the 2023 SX models look interesting. I'm not up on the SXs and the info is a bit sketchy but it looks like there is an electronic power valve. They aren't showing much engine detail and you can't see where the injectors are located.

There is a 300SX in the range, is this new?

New peg design! Helps with scrubbing apparently. There will be loads of cleaners after these.

No mention of tpi. Just Keihin EFI? Interesting.

No 2T oil tank... looks like it could be TBI as there's a fuel pipe heading to the throttle body

Well this has got me all in a titter now…

57hp is a solid number… I was holding out for the new framed 2023 250SX for the track and this turns up… bang a 6th gear in it and you’ve got the ultimate desert weapon and track bike…

How do I feel about all the extra electronics on the power valve and TBI though?

Over my well sorted 2015 300 with Lectron, kick start, SXS CDI which can be swapped for the EXC one… no balancer shaft but PHDS mounts and FasstCo pegs (the bollocks for pre-17 bikes, don’t realise how much you need them till you buy them…‍). Hmmm…

Still want one though…

Or wait until the 300 EXC comes out next year

Not what I’m in the market for at the moment… got a perfectly good 300 EXC.

New pictures today. Definitely pre-mix and TBI.

Cant see "road legal" 2t's going back to premix ...... unless its 100:1!

They can with the homologation pipe and **** map in the bike.

SX,XC- 2023 TBI (premix)
EXC-2024 TPI (oil pump)

 

[alexko]

Is it only me, who sees that pointy fairing as a potential danger? Would rather not have that pointing towards my tigh/hip at any given speed.
Although, I like the sharp lines on the bike.

 

[Ship]

Thats a 4t engine?

2023 SX & XC 2t TBI

 

[Ship]

Same throttle body controls (cold start and tickover) as a current 4t l saw on a tacomoto vid ........ and l thought ' why cant they do that on a 2t' .........

 

[Miner]

SX and XC are closed course machines… they can do what they like…

agreed. and the TPI castings in the cylinder make me thing 2024 EXCs will be the same TPI engine but in the new frame/plastics

Hopefully, they have sorted the crankcase pressure sensors too.

No chance, not unless it can be fixed by using something cheaper.

 

[RudulfHucker]

Any idea what the contraption on the back of the barrel is? It looks like it has an electrical connector but doesn't look like another injector.
