At the heart of the 2013 KTM 50 SX cross - motocross motorcycle, KTM features a 49 cc (3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, two-stroke configuration. 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 measures 41.5 kg (91 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 684 mm (26.9 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,032 mm (40.6 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.
