2018 KTM 500 EXC-F

The KTM 500 EXC-F is the strongest dual sport bike in the world, although that doesn’t mean it’s hard to control. This motorcycle is as lean and civilized as a thoroughbred race horse. But let it rip, and its 4-stroke SOHC engine blasts the cutting-edge chassis across any terrain you choose. Ahead of the competition. No sweat, just glory.

• ENGINE & EXHAUST

Small in dimensions, sky-high on output. The KTM 500 EXC-F’s fuel-injected powerhouse makes it the most compact and lightest 500 on the market, while delivering groundbreaking torque and power figures over the entire rev range thanks to a single overhead camshaft cylinder head and the latest electronic fuel injection. Class-leading and cutting-edge: just the way we like it.

• CHASSIS

KTM engineers just love dropping weight year after year. The result: the 2018 KTM EXC models are the slimmest, lightest enduro bikes out there.

• ERGONOMICS & COMFORT

READY TO RACE ergonomics give you the edge on all terrain, ride harder for longer.

• BODYWORK & GRAPHICS

KTM R&D, KISKA Design and the factory racers had their say in shaping the plastics with one goal: complete harmony between rider and bike. Perfect ergonomics and contact points provide maximum comfort in movement on the EXC-F. The I-beam structures of the front and rear fenders guarantee maximum stability and a low weight thanks to well thought-out construction and mounting. They also stay cleaner for longer. Clever brake hose routing on the front number plate prevents wear and tear.

• SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS

The latest technology, reduced to the minimum: READY TO RACE
