New KTM XC range lands with updated graphics and plenty of factory racing appeal

After recently revealing its new motocross line-up, KTM has shaken up its cross country range with the all-new XC and XC F.

Cross country riding focuses more on long-distance and endurance across different terrain, rather than shorter distances, or trail-specific riding, which is where the new two- and four-stroke XC and XC models come into play. 

The new range features an updated colourway and graphic design that KTM says “sharpens its Factory Racing identity”. Red highlights on the tank shrouds have been introduced, which have been applied using KTM’s mold graphics technology.

As part of the new XC line-up KTM has revealed three two-stroke options, which are the 125, 250 and 300 XC models.

Three four-stroke models have also been unveiled by the Mattighofen-based company, including the 250, 350 and 450 XC F.  

Suspension is handled by the WP with an XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork and a WP XACT rear shock. The suspension settings are also influenced by the company’s Factory Racing programme. 

This means riders should benefit from more front end confidence, better rear wheel traction, consistent and reliable performance over longer race distances and changing terrain.

Additionally, all three four-stroke models are compatible with KTM’s optional Connectivity Unit Offroad system, which is available through the KTM PowerParts catalog. 

KTM has not yet revealed a timeline for availability or pricing for the new two- and four-stroke XC models. However, we will update you when this information is confirmed.
