talented motocross rider. One of thousands.
Today, he has 176 world championship
races (a world record!), 101 Grand Prix
(world record!) and 10 world championship
titles (world record!) to his name and he is
widely considered to be the best there has
ever been. What turns one of many into
the best rider of all time?
Talent helps – obviously. But talent alone
turns nobody into a Stefan Everts. What
it needs is a goal. A vision. And the
uncompromising determination to realise
that vision...

THE VISION
THE VISION OF
STEFAN
EVERTS
Stefan Everts’ vision was to have his own SX bike.
Not just some motorbike with the world
champion’s signature stuck on it. Rather, a motorcycle
that bears his trademark from the first design sketch
to the last bolt. A bike that Stefan Everts would love to ride.
A milestone in the history of motocross. And now,
with the new SX bikes from KTM, Stefan Everts has turned
his vision into reality ...

NEVER
NEVER
CONCEDE
When the Development Department at Europe’s leading offroad manufacturer and an
extremely successful racing team collaborate with a record-breaking world champion, things
can become somewhat difficult: A bunch of success-obsessed perfectionists and hardheaded
engineers encounter one another and fight uncompromisingly for the best possible solution.
It can even happen that, following extensive testing, 34 hand-welded prototype frames are simply
binned. And they have to start again. For even with the most cutting-edge simulation software
in the world, you only know how good a frame is once you’ve ridden it. And ridden it hard! But when
you have a vision there are no simple solutions. The only way is the hard way: learning through
error and experience. And never giving up ...

NOT A
NOT A
QUESTION OF TASTE
Just to make it completely clear:
When developing the new SX bikes,
it wasn’t a case of making a special bike
for a specific rider or a particular track.
It’s all about a unique bike for every track
and every motocross rider. From works
team professionals to motocross
enthusiasts with no professional ambitions.
Whoever claims that’s impossible just
hasn’t tried hard enough. Because
efficient power development and playful
handling are not a question of taste.

EVERYTHING
COUNTS
In the world championship, it’s not a question of the engine or the bodywork or the chassis.
Everything counts. Simultaneously. At this level, the crankshaft position can be decisive
in deciding who wins. For this reason, the Factory Racing Team is the main initiator and has
the final say in all KTM bikes. Only when the overall package proves successful in the top tier of
motorsport is it good enough for series production. We call that “Ready to Race”...
