KTM has unveiled its new flagship Freeride E model, which is set to arrive in dealerships this April at a price of £8,999.

The 2027 Freeride E makes use of a 29kg MX50 Lithium-Ion battery that provides “two to three hours of typical Enduro-esque riding time”, according to the Austrian manufacturer.

KTM has also squeezed peak power to 19.2kW (25.7bhp), while torque comes in at 27.2 Ib-ft. The updated Freeride E offers three riding modes, which are Eco, Normal and Sport. Additionally, adjustable traction control is relayed to the rider through clear LEDs.

KTM has combined a slight increase in power with a reduction in weight, as the Freeride E now tips the scales at 112kg. The bike’s motor and battery are surrounded by a chrome-molybdenum steel frame. The subframe is made from aluminium and glass-fibre reinforced nylon, leading to a new seat height of 910 mm.

The improvements don’t stop there, as the battery capacity has been increased compared to the previous model.

KTM says “riders can count on a 5.5kWh from the innovative ‘swappable’ technology”, while the battery can withstand more than 1000 charging cycles before effectiveness drops to 80 per cent.

As you would expect with a KTM model, suspension is handled by WP. The Freeride E uses Braktec hardware for its stopping power, while also operating on Michelin Enduro Medium tyres. It also benefits from off-road orientated 21-inch and 18-inch aluminium wheels.

Finally, KTM has also given the electric motorcycle a new colourway ahead of its upcoming 2026 arrival.
