XC-W250XC-W150250 EXC-F350 EXC-F

‘XC’ means cross-country. ‘W’ represents its wide-ratio transmission. ‘KTM’ stands for winning. This model is a READY TO RACE bike built for closed-course enduro racing. With the agility of a 125 and enough muscle to take the fight to the 250 cc 4-Strokes, this bike punches well above its weight. Everything is all new – from the WP Xplor Suspension, the lightweight chromoly steel frame and the super-compact electric-start 144 cc engine. Everything has been redesigned for the lightest XC-W model ever. That’s why when the going gets tough, the tough get an XC-W.

• NEW ODI grips that feature a lock-on design for the left grip and a vulcanized grip on the throttle side
• NEW 10mm longer rear brake pedal, smaller rear brake piston and lighter disks provide class leading brake performance and feel
• NEW “No Dirt” footpeg design keeps the pegs pivot from becoming clogged, ensuring the footpeg is always in the correct position.
• NEW CNC machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and Dunlop GEOMAX AT81 tires for maximum strength and traction

• NEW CNC machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and Maxxis tires for maximum strength and traction
• NEW Airbox and filter design provides maximum performance with fast “no tools” air filter changes
• NEW Bodywork with perfect ergonomics and contact points for maximum control and comfort
