KTM muestra las motos «Edición de Fábrica» que serán usadas por sus pilotos oficiales de Motocross en los Estados Unidos.
Se trata de la 450 que llevarán los pilotos Ryan Dungey, Marvin Musquin y Dean Wilson así como la 250 que Justin Hill, Jessy Nelson, Shane McElrath, Mitchel Falk y Alexander Frye usarán en la clase LITES en los seriales de Supercross y Motocross en el 2016.
El cambio más significativo de estos modelos es la nueva suspensión WP AER 48 de aire, sustituyendo la 4CS que usaron por varios años y que se traduce en mejores prestaciones y menos peso además claro, de toda la nueva tecnología empleada en las versiones 2016 de Motocross.
Estas motos estarán disponibles para su venta, aunque como son ediciones especiales, son pocas.
