This
year KTM went back to the drawing board and totally redesigned the 2013 KTM 85
SX. Included in the updates were a new cylinder and head, frame, plastics, and
ergonomic changes that have made it the most sought after 85 in the industry.
The new cylinder has larger water jackets, re-designed porting and a new head
with built in head stay that attaches to the frame. The head stay increases
rigidity and enhances the handling characteristics of the bike. The larger water
jacket improves cooling and the new porting increases power by over
2hp.
KTM did not produce
a 105cc big wheel for the US market this year however you can turn your 85 into
a 105 with the addition of a bolt on kit from KTM Power Parts. The only issue
with the big bore kit is that it comes with the 2012 head and will not work on
the 2013. The new bike requires a built in head stay and relocated water
inlet.
This billet
head will include a head stay mounting location, interchangeable combustion
domes that can be tuned to the fuel and other motor mods, and improved water
cooling jackets. Available in KTM orange for that factory look.
Our
billet heads include the head stay mounting bracket as well as interchangeable
combustion domes cut and shaped to our own race spec. They also include a
redesigned and improved cooling jacket. These domes are different from the heads
that come stock with the KTM kit both in shape and performance. You can even
have a custom dome made to your specific specifications. Call the shop for more
information.Available in KTM orange for that factory look.
