Motocross Action Magazine tests 9 time MXGP World Champion Antonio Cairoli's race bike at Fox Raceway! Cairoli's Factory KTM 450SXF is littered with parts from the team in the United States as well as some carry overs he brought with him from Europe. 3D printed footpegs, ultra stiff front forks, factory brakes with Delran inserts, custom transmission, Pirelli tires (normally scoop tread), custom GET launch device, older version front brake master cylinder, and much more! The MXA wrecking crew had no time limit on this factory beauty and took full advantage of it. We were able to get over an hour of seat time between two test riders at the track. Motocross Action Magazine gives you all the details on this factory machine built for Antonio Cairoli, explaining what it was like to ride it, and which parts differ on Cairoli's bike when compared to Dungey and Plessinger. Plus, we're excited to say that Antonio is coming back to the states for more racing this summer, starting at Budds Creek.

MXA and Josh r ALWAYS bringing the Goods ... 👊 👍😉
Thanks Old G!
@@joshmosiman1955 Are these scammers with the MXA logo for prizes?? I'm actually super fearful cause I gave my mailing address!
@@jonathondavis170 yes they are scammers sadly. We have been hiding them from our channel everytime a new one pops up, but they keep making new accounts with the same MXA logo.
@@joshmosiman1955 Thanks.
@@jonathondavis170 Thnx fellas .. 👍
Sweet bike. Thanks for posting Josh. Great stuff as always.
I could look at these bikes for days!
Nice Video 🔥
Thumbs up and keep it up!!
Love that fly gear the colorway is sick
Can't FREAKIN WAIT Fellas 👊 👍😉
Great reporting!
It's been GREAT having him racing!!! 🏁 Heard he's back, and that really makes me super happy to such a champion racing here in the USA! Super cool bike!!!
Getting a '23 or '24 KTM 450F factory edition. 59-60hp. Unreal. Hopefully the '24 is even better! -NY
Wonder if there is a lightweight Pankl Titanium Connecting Rods to their spec inside that beaty.
That fly kit is beautiful
Suspension looked good, stiffness was probably the 52mm fork chassis. Grant Langston spoke about preferring the 48mm Ohlins forks a few years back due to flex and feel.
I think ktm went backwards.
Man you guys were so blessed, if you had to count your blessings getting to ride that thing I bet you couldn't. Amen God is great, Thank you Jesus!
Nice video.
How did your lap times compare to your bike ????
Bad ass!
11:55 Nice whip
do you know on his bike if the akrapovic lettering and emblem on the exhaust is painted on or a sticker?
PLEASE TELL THE TEAM TO SELL THAT AKRAPOVIC SKID PLATE AND CHAIN GUIDE AS WELL AS THE CARBON FRONT ROTOR GUARD AS A KTM POWER PARTS PLEASE
16:38 intresting, Tony's bike does not have the odd standard KTM throttle cable routing. Does MXA know why KTM routes their calble infront of the handlbar on the stock bikes?
Seems to maybe be rider/mechanic preference or something. Herlings does it too. Probably a +3” cable. Often in front of the bar and through the same side fork. AC222’s bike seems to be on the other side. It’s not a new thing. Some of factory bikes are stock routing. Seems no obvious rhyme or reason. I’ve seen it 4 different ways. Def interesting and I’d love to know too 🤣
The stock behind routing is (allegedly) from KTM’s woods heritage/success. Less likely to get snagged hiding behind the bars. One of the very smart, simple engineering thoughts into an Austrian bike. And on the older bikes where it is behind and down the left side, the cable is very straight all the way to the carb.
I spent like 4 hours one day routing my 250F cables tons of different ways to find the least friction. It’s crazy how much little things can change it. It also may have to do with bar height and Nihilo throttle they run 🤷🏼♂️
Any idea what radiator they used? The new radiator has no overflow, the overflow is on the cap.
ik herlings is younger and was in his prime at the time when he came over but he adapted pretty quickly and easily and i member him saying the bikes r faster here cause of fuel or sound testing or something i believe
Good stuff! Sounds like you need some taller bars and stiffer suspension on your FC450!
Agreed! I don't want taller bars but definitely stiffer suspension
@@joshmosiman1955 maybe take the taller bars forward. ? this could pull your balance a bit forward ad ad more weigth on the front in that way i think the suspesion balance front and rear should be better. :) and better turning.
Me too
How is it against the stock 23 Modell ?

The exhaust looks really cool. Was hoping to hear how fast the bike is. Was it stronger everywhere in the power band compared to stock? How was the gearing, etc... Assuming he can get that bike up to higher speeds than any normal guy rides. Awesome video - thanks MXA!
Yes faster everywhere in the power when compared to stock! Unfortunately we didn't get to take it to a dyno or get dyno numbers from KTM, they keep that stuff to themselves. 14x51 gearing with a custom 2nd and 3rd gear in the tranny to pull longer
I think the only thing at this point bike manufacturers can do is build an electric motorcycle solely focused on unsprung weight. Bikes Are pretty much at their peak of suspension and handling. If someone is able to cram an electric engine into a hub and put the battery in the swingarm you could now make a motorcycle with similar frames to a downhill mountain bike. All the weight of the engine and battery would be almost ground level and unsprung. You could literally probably shave like 16 pds off the bike. Also I always thought with electric engines you could put an oscillator in the front wheel as well that can be turned on while cornering. Imagine a saw that vibrates to help it cut. The same principal could be applied to a front wheel and literally vibrate the wheel deeper into the ground. If magnetic suspension can be used to think of the applications for things like unloading and preloading. You could literally have a button to bottom out the suspension for scrubs or electronic rebounds for super big seat bounces.
Cool opportunity. Did you ever use more than 3” of travel? 🤣 Still looks like it rode nice. Thing is beautiful.
You seem to forget one thing. You set your bike up to be enjoyable to ride for you, and even comfortable sometimes, top pro riders don’t even think about those things, Stewart explained it very well, the stiffer the faster, then the athletes adapt to what is the fastest version of the bike, the bike don’t have to adapt, it only has to be the fastest possible.
Oh and you actually can buy the cone valve forks, at least here in Europe it is in the catalog, it’s just insanely expensive
@@abocalipsyou cant buy 52mm cone valves. Factory only except a few old sets that got out into the public you can buy the same system just 48mm inner tubes
@@garrett3234 in Europe we can dude, that was my point
@@abocalips ok🙄
but how many gears this bike have in total?
Kawasaki KX450SR seems have best overall suspension (stock) but it's hard to beat KTMs engine package/technology/clutch/build quality.
what does the safety wire on the spokes do?
if a spoke breaks it keeps in place
Cairoli testing a bike for Herlings. That is kinda funny.
🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
He’s coming back for a few more rounds
Which type of renthal’s handlebar size is?
What difference does it make, you aren't Cairoli or Herlings.
Man for giving this kind of answer, i don’t know you but I feel you are very very stupid😂😂
Can anyone know without doubt this suspension setting is actually Tony's preference?
Motorcross is die hard
The music over the ridning fotage is not doing it for me. Rather have raw sound and more braaaaap!
When’s y’all gonna do el hombres bike
why do the adjuster nuts on the rear shock look mangled // who is the hack job mechanic who did that
Looks like your barely useing up that travel
The presenter is a fool if he thinks even a works 450 can rev to 14,000 rpm. If that were the case they would be making 90 hp
i like antonio the bike however is over 30 seconds behind the competition......thanks for the vid
I can't believe it's 2022 and KTM still has those ugly white plastic number plates.... The stock gasgas looks so much better.
Kind of pointless it’s not much different from any of our guys Race Bikes would have been worth it to see one of his hand made MXGP bikes.
