Motocross Action tests the 2022 KTM 150SX Two Stroke in Southern California. The 2022 model returns with a lot of the changes you are familiar with from 2021. The new items on the list are new graphics, new blue seat cover, and orange frame like the factory editions. The KTM air forks work great on the track if you spend the time to adjust them to your ability and weight. The engine is fast, playful, and very competitive. Check out what the Motocross Action wrecking crew had to say about their first day on the new bike. We compare it to some of the 125 offerings from the KTM group as well to give you a better idea of which bike might be a better choice.

Something you like to play with his gear ratio? Every test bike since 1979 you taking the stock rear sprocket off and added one with the bigger tooth. Every bike. If the bike came with the 72 tooth rear sprocket you will put a 73 tooth rear sprocket on

FOR EVRYONE THAT PUTS A ZIPTIE ON WP FORKS TO SE HOW MUCH TRAVEL YOUR USING. On my 2021 tc 125 their is a little red ring that might look like a dust gaurd at the bottom of you fork legs but it is not a dust guard. It dosed the same thing as a zip tie but some people think it’s a dust cover for a protector for bottom outs. It is a little difficult to get up but it is made for measuring how much travel You are using. You welcome

I have a 2012 150xc that I put a fmf pipe and silencer on and it made a world of difference. It came on pipe earlier and pulled longer. I got a fmf for my 2019 150sx and was very disappointed with the power "gain" the only difference I felt was it was a little snappier than stock. It didn't come on pipe any sooner or pull any longer. I'd spend the 350 bucks elsewhere if I could go back and do it again

Stock gearing 125 is fine (imo)Pipe and reeds definitely chuncks it up (breathes better) more responsive and deals with load better(sandy stuff). the parts make a difference. Actually make its easier to ride havnt played with valve yet .at my age and ability didnt think it needed it..power feels spread nicely as is.(IMO) best bike ive ever bought..oh and did they metion how dam light it is!!

I'm trying to get off my 450 and onto a 125/150. I thought at 6'0" 180lb that the 450 is what I needed but learned the hard way that it's just too much power.

It cost $349.95 without counting installation and the Pro Circuit pipe/silencer we used.

@ConnorsCorner1 2 года назад

Late reply, but Im 5'10" and weigh 195lbs. My 125XC has more than enough power to haul me around, extremely fun. I DID have to buy a stiffer rear spring, the stock was just too soft for me to set sag. Running 160psi in the fork, and its PERFECT. I intentionally didnt get a 250sx because I wanted something I could ride the balls out of.

@northwestrider369 2 месяца назад

When you say the 125 is more torque out the corner and later say that an aftermarket pipe helps a lot. It sounds like KTM just used the 125 pipe and it isn’t really matched for the extra 50cc. Even though it’s only 25cc more, I would think it had torque lower in the rpm at least more at the same rpm. So yeah, it sounds like this pipe is not tuned for the extra cc.

@mrrrrr1rob590 2 года назад

As a slower vet rider with a 150 and ridden the 125, the power difference feels even bigger than the 3hp suggests. I find the 150 easier because the extra torque means I don't have to abuse the clutch as much to keep the revs up and because I am not as fast, I am more prone to being a gear too high and lugging the bike more than average.

Not only is it lighter, the older bike, but To make matters worse an old 1989 CR 125 already made 37HP bone stock. And just by bolting on a 1989 CR250 carburator it made over 40HP. With some porting and pipe, ...above 45HP, there is no 125 today that comes close. A stock 2021 KTM 125 makes 37HP also.. So where is the advancement? The point being, not to race an older bike, (unless it is well restored), but to expose, the scam they are running, as they have made ZERO advancement in the last 30 years. The only difference is the suspension.... but by the 1990's suspension has not changed at all...despite what the "marketers" sell. In fact a 1989 Cagiva wmx125, already had the "so-called" 'upside-down" forks. Too bad Cagiva isn't making MX bikes anymore.
