CONNECTING ROD 09-19 KTM 65SX, HOTRODS 8132 46230015000

High-quality connecting rod kit designed as a replacement for KTM 65 SX (2009–2018), KTM 65 XC (2009), and Husqvarna TC65 (2017–2018). Manufactured from hot-rolled ASTM 4115 steel and case-hardened to 58–62 Rc for exceptional durability. The advanced design includes side scalloping and vent slots to reduce high-rpm bearing race distortion. Double-forged construction improves grain flow and ensures dimensional consistency, while shot peening and double-honing provide superior strength under heavy loads.

The small ends are double-drilled to enhance lubrication and cooling for the wrist pin bearing, making it ideal for pistons with crowns close to the wrist pin. Thrust washers and crank pin bearings are silver-coated for improved lubricity. Each kit includes all necessary components for installation.
