2012 KTM 50 SX Mini Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around KTM's minibike, cross motorcycle platform, the 2012 KTM 50 SX Mini 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).

On the scales, the 50 SX Mini measures 40.5 kg (89 lbs) dry.
