Artein XRadical gasket kit for KTM SX 125 2023 and up


Founded in 1958, Girona, Spain based gasket and seal specialist Artein is one of the largest motorsports and industrial sector gasket manufacturers in Europe. Supplying OEM customers as well as the aftermarket, Artein is noted for its advanced technology, precision manufacturing and the research and development investments it makes into performance materials.

In motorcycle terms, Artein has been a leader in the scooter and competition markets for a long time, and in recent years has started building a high profile in the off-road market with its XRadical programme.

Recent new additions are the complete kit for KTM SX 125/150 applications from 2016 and up that is seen here. Other selections from the wide range of XRadical gasket sets include the Yamaha YZ 125 from 2022 and up and TM Racing EN FI 125 2020 and up.


Artein offers complete OEM replacement gasket sets and top end kits, plus a "Smart Kit", comprising an extended gasket kit (top end, clutch cover and gasket and friction disc and cover gasket), along with a water pump cover gasket. Spare gaskets are also available.

The primary gasket materials used in the XRadical range include Artein CS6900 Soft, easily recognisable in yellow colour (25% compression capacity, very high 64% recovery and temperature resistance), German made Victor Reinz AFM 34 (an aramid fibre-based gasket material for low compressibility being the best option for base cylinder gaskets), and Foamet - aluminium core with Nitrile soft foam in both sides - one of the best known of contemporary gasket materials.
