Those who are looking to buy a KTM 450 SX-F are probably thinking that if the 2022 model differs from the current year's version only in appearance, then by waiting for it to appear at dealers, they can buy the 21 model at a discount. Yeah, no matter how it is: the 2021 model was completely sold out back in January. But the good news is that the 2022 model was released earlier than usual and is already hitting showrooms.
So there will be no discounts, but there will probably be no hype either - it’s not for nothing that the 2022 model was released so early. The differences between it and the last one really come down to just the colors and graphics: blue seat trim, blue accents in the die-cast graphics, white rear fender and orange frame. But by the way, it is worth considering that the orange frame usually marks a certain stage, the next stage of development (or production cycle): in past times, the orange color of the frame indicated the last year of production of the current iteration of the model. If this is still the case, then the 2022 KTM 450 SX-F Factory Edition will be very different from the base version, because the Factory Edition is usually ahead of the curve - a sort of flagship of a squadron of flagships
