THE

FACTORYEDITION

2013

ONE MAN. ONE BIKE. ONE REASON. ONE TITLE.The above components resulted in a history-making moment for KTM Motorsports after Red Bull KTM Factory Team athlete Ryan Dungey won the first premier class championship aboard the company's most noteworthy motocross machine, the 450 SX-F Factory Edition. The 2012 450 Motocross Championship marked the first championship for the KTM brand but the fifth title for Dungey. The Minnesota native, hand-picked by Team Manager Roger DeCoster, will return for the 2013 season as the team’s premier class rider in hopes of claiming two more championships to his name.

Dungey returns on a mission to pursue the 2013 Supercross class title as well as defend the #1 plate in the outdoor series. His bike of choice will remain the 450 SX-F Factory Edition, a bike fine-tuned to handle every obstacle, every corner no matter how tough. A collaboration between the Austrian and North American based Research & Development teams has helped launch the new 450 SX-F Factory Edition as the leader in its class. A motorcycle that is built with racing as its main objective with significant input from Dungey and his team; a rider will not find a better machine. Dungey will commit himself to another challenge this season always pushing the bar when it comes to his training in the gym and on the track to bring to the team the determination and fitness needed to prevail. His team will commit to bringing him the best, most reliable machine to the gate each weekend for 29 races. Forever committed to succeed, Ryan Dungey, his Red Bull KTM Team and his 450 SX-F Factory Edition are “Ready to Race”, are you?

hOUR METERKTM hour meter is included with the Factory Edition to track time for maintenance intervals.

ddS cLUTchThe DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) one-piece clutch basket combined with the primary gear is made of high-strength steel. It guarantees unbeatable reliability and contributes to the narrow engine size due to its compact rivet-less design. Additionally, it allows the use of thin steel linings, which makes the whole clutch package compact. A diaphragm spring makes it possible to implement an additional rubber damping system, guaranteeing reliability for the transmission and good traction. The hydraulic clutch by Brembo, in conjunction with the diaphragm spring, guarantees a light operation and controllable modulation of the clutch. The clutch spring is 280 Nm compared to 250 Nm (MY2012) for improved performance.

TRANSMISSIONA 5-speed transmission to perfectly suit the 450 cc power plant and provides easy and precise shifting.

ROgER dEcOSTER & RyAN dUNgEy

Please tell us about the 450 engine, and your favorite benefit of that motor?DeCoster: We all know that KTM has made ultra-strong engines throughout its existence, and the new 450 SX-F Factory Edition motor is no different. The engine produces massive power, and the best part, is the power is delivered in a smooth and controllable manner.

Dungey: I feel the power range on the motor is solid throughout. It has great bottom, mid and top end power. I truly feel it gives me an edge over the competition.

Please describe the 450 chassis and your favorite attribute of the chassis?DeCoster: I still feel that a steel chassis is more compliant than the aluminum chassis, and in reality, the aluminum chassis are the same weight as the steel chassis because they need to overbuild aluminum frames in order to have the durability needed for the customers. I feel the chassis of the 450 SX-F Factory Edition is a step above the competition.

Dungey: Overall the 450 SX-F Factory Edition has unbelievable handling. My favorite attribute is definitely the chromoly steel frame. It is amazing what a difference the steel frame makes.

What involvement have you had in developing the new 450 SX-F Factory Edition?DeCoster: Our race team (Red Bull KTM Factory Team) was heavily involved from the very beginning of the production of this unit. It was the best joint effort between a race team and Research and Development Department I have experienced since I was involved in the development of the CR’s for the start of AMA production rule back in 1986. Both the Austrian and North American based R&D teams worked collectively with our race team to ensure the bike was built with the racer in mind.

Dungey: I have basically been the test rider for the past two seasons. All of my feedback and that of the Red Bull KTM team has been incorporated into the design, feel and overall handling of the bike. Also, a lot of parts used on my factory bike are a part of the Factory Edition bike.

How does it feel to be so closely involved in the development of a new unit for the U.S. market?DeCoster: Of course, it feels great when things turn out as well as it did with this bike. It would be great if we could always hit every target as well as we did with this bike. The media attention, consumer feedback and race results have all spoken well to the benefit of this unit and what it is capable of.

Dungey: I’m proud to have been given the opportunity to, not only race for the Red Bull KTM team, but to have an integral role in the development of the new bike. Knowing that my thoughts and feedback in regards to performance and handling have been taken into account and incorporated into the new bike design is a great honor.
