At the heart of the 2025 KTM 250 SX-F cross - motocross motorcycle, KTM pairs a 249.9 cc (15.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 81.0 x 48.5 mm (3.2 x 1.9 inches) with a 14.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the 250 SX-F measures 101 kg (223 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 958 mm (37.7 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,493 mm (58.8 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 7.2-liter (1.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
