Bringing together a dynamic combination of race-bred performance, rider-focused ergonomics and cutting-edge technology, the 2023 KTM EXC-F and EXC range has been introduced and offers a highly-competitive ‘Ready To Race’ pedigree to cater for all riders and terrains. It features in our latest Detailed post.

KTM has been a leader in enduro competition for a number of decades, with the newest iteration of the 2023 KTM EXC and EXC-F models set to continue that trend.

Boasting an updated design, orange-coated chromoly steel frame, race-proven WP Xplor suspension at each end, the 2023 KTM enduro range starts with the KTM 150 EXC two-stroke and tops out with the class-leading KTM 500 EXC-F four-stroke.

New for 2023, an all-new graphic design and white, purple and orange colour scheme come together into a seamlessly blended palette. This colour scheme was specifically chosen by the designers to pay homage to the early ‘90s enduro models, setting the 2023 KTM enduro range apart from anything else on the trails.

In terms of engines, the two-stroke model range once again takes its place and is the leader in the paddock, making use of KTM’s patented Transfer Port Injection (TPI) technology. Not only has this ensured fewer emissions and fuel consumption but provides smooth and strong power delivery from the bottom right through to the top end.

The four-stroke model range provides the most concise offering of models, starting with the KTM 250 EXC-F and KTM 350 EXC-F and completed with the powerhouses KTM 450 EXC-F and KTM 500 EXC-F. All models in the four-stroke range benefit from class-winning engines, engineered to deliver massive torque down low with class-leading power delivery at higher RPMs.

These are flanked by the ever-popular KTM EXC Six Days range, which offers a special tribute to the upcoming 2022 FIM International Six Days Enduro in France, combining the very latest in innovation with an extensive list of race-derived parts as standard.

Every motorcycle in the range gets fully adjustable WP Xplor suspension as standard, with the advantage of a Progressive Damping System (PDS) on the rear. The PDS layout – a staple across KTM EXC and EXC-F models – offers lower maintenance due to fewer moving parts, but provides more ground clearance, with less chance of hooking up when climbing logs or rocks.

As always, and thanks to KTM’s global network of dealers, the availability of support and parts needed to compete at the highest level are easily accessible, with the added availability of dedicated KTM PowerWear and KTM PowerParts designed to allow for the highest levels of performance, protection, and mobility for all offroad riders and racers.

The 2023 KTM EXC and EXC-F models will be landing on authorised KTM dealer floors in Australia from July 2022 onwards. Visit www.ktm.com for further information on the brand’s latest enduro lineup.
