2009 KTM 50 SX Junior Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in KTM's minibike, cross motorcycle lineup, the 2009 KTM 50 SX Junior pairs a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 39.5 x 40.0 mm (1.6 x 1.6 inches) with a 12.5:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the 50 SX Junior measures 37.6 kg (83 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 607 mm (23.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 910 mm (35.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 2.3-liter (0.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
