The big changes to the 2017 KTM 350 SX-F are similar to the 450, a 48mm WP AER fork that replaces 4CS design (that saves nearly three pounds), the top triple clamp is slightly more rigid to help the SX-F corner more precisely, the outer fork tube thickness decreased 1mm for increased flex in the fork, updated handlebar mounts that are slightly stiffer, aluminum head stays (instead of steel), a softer rear shock spring rate, and a multi switch handlebar mounted map and traction control switch. Senior Test Editor Kris Keefer takes you around Pala Raceway and talks about what it's like to ride the unique-sized orange machine.
