FIRST LOOK! THE ALUMINUM FRAMED 2024 KTM SX-E 2 IS COMING SOON

Following the successes of both the KTM SX-E 5 and KTM SX-E 3, the all-new KTM SX-E 2 rolls up to the starting line as a real-world intermediary package, bridging the gap between minicycle and motorcycle, complete with modern, striking graphics, top-quality materials and high-end components.

The KTM SX-E 2 is  built around a center-tube aluminum extrusion frame  that reduces the number of components needed. With fewer connections and mounting points, the chassis aims for perfectly balance. The subframe is made from a high-quality glass-fiber reinforced, impact-resistant plastic composite for low weight and added shock absorption.

Providing the power for the 2024 KTM SX-E 2 is a lightweight, maintenance-free, 1.8 kW Hub Motor mated to a water-resistant IP65 9.4 Ah, Lithium-ion power-tool-type battery, delivering a top speed of 20.5 mph . Devoid of any additional parts like chains or sprockets, the Hub Motor keeps weight low and provides added safety in the event of a crash.

When it comes time to change batteries,  the SX-E 2 battery can be swapped out in  one easy movement, making it possible extend ride time with multiple batteries. Charging is taken care of by an external charger supplying up to 500 W that can be connected to any 110-volt socket, taking approximately 60 minutes to achieve a full, 100% charge.

Up front, a non-adjustable WP hydraulic fork offers 90 mm travel, while a 34 mm hydraulic monoshock takes care of matters at the rear. The monoshock is mounted directly to the swingarm, offering 70 mm of travel

As a safety feature, the electric motor is activated by rolling the throttle forward. Once turned “on,” a haptic “vibration” is sent through the grip, mimicking the subtle idling vibration of a combustion engine, indicating to the rider that the bike is ready to go. This stops any unwanted or sudden acceleration when mounting the KTM SX-E 2. In the case of a crash, a rollover sensor disengages power. The MSRP is $2199.
