Speed Read: The lightweight Krämer APX-350 MA race bike and more

2025 Krämer APX-350 MA The lightweight racing world has a new kingpin?the 2025 Krämer APX-350 MA. Designed to separate the wheat from the chaff in the MotoAmerica Talent Cup spec-series, it?s a precision tool crafted for riders serious about honing their craft.
At the heart of the APX-350 MA is a 350 cc single-cylinder engine from a KTM EXC-F enduro bike that cranks 55 horsepower through a 6-speed transmission. That might not seem like a lot, but the bike only weighs 109.8 kilos [242 lbs] so it has a fantastic power-to-weight ratio.

This offers optimal rigidity and balance for the rider while remaining ultra-light. All of the carbon-reinforced fiberglass bodywork is functional?engineered for aerodynamics and further weight savings.
Adjustability is a key feature of the bike, so almost every aspect of the APX-350 MA is tunable to suit the rider?s preferences.
