The KTM 250 SX-F remains for 2027 KTM's entry point into four-stroke motocross racing, powered by a 249.9cc single-cylinder engine with a high 14.5:1 compression ratio, through a 5-speed gearbox and Brembo-actuated wet clutch. It uses the same chromoly steel frame, WP XACT air fork, and WP XACT monoshock as its larger SX-F siblings, at a claimed 101 kg dry weight and 958mm seat height. It's built purely for closed-course motocross competition rather than trail or street riding.

Will it fit you?

At 958mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will not reach the ground comfortably on the 2027 KTM 250 SX-F, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 degrees and an upright riding position.

Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated. This is an approximation from category-typical geometry, not a measurement of this bike or of you - sit on one before you buy.
