Engineered by KTM for the minibike, cross motorcycle segment, the 2024 KTM 50 SX relies on a 49 cc (3 cu in) single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. 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 42.5 kg (94 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 653 mm (25.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 2.3-liter (0.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
