Since 2012, KTM has started the new year by unveiling their latest Factory Edition machine. Formerly known as the “Dungey Edition,” this model is loaded with a host of race-ready componentry and comes from the factory as sort of a “2021½” model. In year’s past, it has given consumers an early look at the forthcoming model year. The 2021 450 SX-F Factory Edition again rolls off the showroom floor equipped with a few cool goodies straight out of KTM’s Power Parts catalog to give it a look that’s seemingly identical to Cooper Webb’s Supercross-winning bike.

So, what’s different from the Factory Edition and the base model? The biggest thing is the new KTM Connectivity Unit. This Bluetooth tuning device comes standard on the ’21 Factory Edition, and we assume will be a staple on the 2022 base models. Like the name says, this feature connects to the new myKTM Smartphone App and allows the rider to tune his or her engine characteristics much easier.
