2027 KTM SX-E 5 ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE

The 48-volt brushless electric motor produces its maximum power without requiring a traditional transmission or combustion engine. Its rated output is 2 kW at 3,200 rpm, while maximum output reaches 5 kW at 3,900 rpm. With a maximum motor speed of 6,000 rpm and 13.8 Nm of torque, the system provides smooth power delivery throughout the riding range.

A secondary gear ratio of 8:46 transfers power through a non-sealed 415 chain. The electric drivetrain helps simplify operation while allowing the rider to focus on throttle control, braking, cornering, and overall riding technique.
