KTM introduced its highly-revised SX-F lineup in 2022. The upgrades may have benefitted the production models, but the move forced two-time 450SX champion Cooper Webb and his mechanics to adapt to the new platform. The result: a seventh-place finish in the 2022 standings, Webb’s worst in the 450SX class.
Both KTM and Webb are intent on returning to the top of the standings in 2023, though. To bolster the North Carolina native, Team Orange is pulling out all the stops. For an exclusive look at the outfit’s latest measures, media outlet Racer X joined both Webb and Red Bull KTM Factory Team mechanic Carlos Rivera in the Anaheim 2 round on January 28, 2023.
