KTM SX-E 2025 range in detail
By 2025, the KTM SX-E 5 has a fully electric, water-cooled permanent magnet motor, providing 30% longer riding time compared to the previous version and a maximum power of 5.0 kW. The unit is dust and water resistant, while the integrated control unit (ECU) ensures direct yet highly controllable power delivery.
The KTM SX-E 3 has an air-cooled engine that offers 3.8 kW of power, but is ideal for smaller users doing their first kilometers on small wheels. On both bikes, a multifunctional instrument display shows the status and charge level of the battery, but also one of six different driving maps that manage how hard and fast the powertrain delivers through the throttle.
One of the best features of the 2025 KTM SX-E is the adjustable dimensions of the bike. The subframe is made of lightweight fiberglass reinforced plastic elements, which can be mounted in different positions to adapt to the changing size of the rider. The range of use is 634-682mm and raises or slides down with simple movements with the seat and body.
An even lower seat height can be achieved by lowering the forks on the triple clamps and changing the mounting position of the rear shock. The frame is forged from lightweight, high-strength chrome-moly steel for precise agility and stability, but a new 2025 modification provides more robustness, handling, and a stronger rear shock mounting point.
In the suspension section on the SX-E 5 we find a fully adjustable 35 mm WP XACT inverted air fork and 205 mm of travel. The pneumatic spring mounted on the left fork leg can be perfectly adjusted to the rider’s weight using a simple air pump.

The KTM SX-E 3 has 60 cells for 648 Wh of capacity for a similar riding pace, but with this season’s update the KTM SX-E 3 can swap and upgrade the battery of its older sister, leading to even more time in the saddle. Likewise, each motorcycle has an advanced battery management system that manages and preserves the life cycle of the battery.
The KTM SX-E 5’s charging time has been reduced, with 0-80% capacity achievable in 45 minutes, while 0-100% is possible in just 70 minutes. The external charger supplies up to 900 W and can be plugged into any 110 or 230 volt outlet. The KTM SX-E 3 charges from 0 to 20% in 20 minutes, from 20 to 80% in 100 minutes and up to 100% in 140 minutes.
Both bikes have a rollover sensor that cuts off the power in the event of a fall, while a wrist lanyard cut-off key stops the engine in the event of an uncontrollable riding situation. Driving modes can be locked and saved with a device that can be found under the seat.
