Venhill now offers throttle cable upgrades for the latest generation of KTM and Husqvarna two-stroke motocross machines – from the 50cc junior range up to the 250cc models.
The design team had to develop a special hybrid core wire to cope with the ‘wheel’ fitting used by KTM to guide the cable to the throttle. The new core wire is wound in the opposite direction to regular cables, a necessary feature to reduce friction where it bends around the wheel.
Each cable is made to Venhill’s Featherlight specification, with a marine-grade stainless steel inner wire and a PTFE liner to minimise friction, give a lighter action and reduce the need for regular lubrication. They’re also ‘Bird-caged’, a process which allows the solder to penetrate the weave of the cable, making the bond with the nipple much stronger.
Venhill says the new throttle cables are a direct replacement for the OEM KTM and Husky items and will deliver improved performance, durability, and a smoother action. Fitments are available for the KTM SX 125, 150, and 250 from 2021-on and the Husqvarna TC125 and 250 from 2021-on. Prices start from £33.86. Juniors get the same quality, with fitments available for the KTM SX 50, 50 Mini, 65 and 85 (2021-on) as well as the 2021-on Husky TC50, 50 Mini and 85, for the same price.
Cables are available in black, orange and blue to match KTM and Husky factory colours. Other colours are available to suit personal taste or for matching to team liveries, and Venhill cables can even be ordered with extra length for custom set-ups.
