RACE TO NEW HEIGHTS.
The KTM 250 XC-W is the ultimate combination of power and rideability and sets a clear benchmark for intuitive handling, unique style, and top performance. Thanks in part to its class-leading WP suspension, this extreme machine continues to reach new heights, clearly demonstrating KTM's unrelenting commitment to 2-stroke development. Developed with feedback from factory riders, the KTM 250 XC-W offers excellent rider feedback, making it a stellar choice for pro and amateur riders alike.
ENGINE & EXHAUST: ENGINE - The 250cc 2-stroke engine has plenty of power and torque but remains light enough for riders to muscle their way through the toughest obstacles. Thanks to state-of-the-art engineering, innovative 2-stroke design, and revolutionary TPI fuel injection technology, and a 13:52 re-gear, the powerplant is even more refined than ever before. The compact and lightweight 2-stroke is a great choice for offroad riders who want usable enduro performance that is ready to conquer in the most extreme terrain.
CHASSIS: FRAME - All XC-W models feature new high-tech, lightweight chromoly steel frames. This includes hydro-formed elements produced by state-of-the-art robot welding. They retain their race-proven geometries, but by redesigning certain areas, the stiffness has been optimized, resulting in better feedback for the rider, playful handling, and improved stability. The laterally attached engine head stays (the connection between cylinder, head, and frame) are now made of aluminum, reducing vibration and further contributing to precise cornering. The bikes also feature newly designed lateral frame guards with a structured surface, improving grip, while also serving as a heat protector against the muffler on the right side. On the KTM 250 XC-W TPI frame, the engine is lowered by 1° around the swingarm pivot improving front-wheel traction significantly. The subframe is made of extra-light and stable aluminum profiles, weighing less than 2 lbs (900 gr) and is 40 mm longer than before, providing better rear fender stability.
ERGONOMICS & COMFORT: HANDLEBAR - All KTM XC-W models are equipped with the same high-strength aluminum tapered handlebar, made by NEKEN. The handlebar allows for four different positions. The handlebars come standard with an ODI vulcanized grip on the right side and a comfortable ODI lock-on grip, which does not require any wire or glue, on the left. Additionally, all models can be equipped with an optional handlebar map select switch, which allows selecting between a standard and advanced power curve.
SOFTWARE & ELECTRONICS: BATTERY & WIRING HARNESS - All engines are fitted with the proven electric starter, which is a major benefit for any offroad activity. It is powered by a super lightweight 2 ah lithium-ion starter battery which provides a safe, reliable starting. A reworked wiring harness and revised packaging have most of the electrical components concentrated into a common area below the seat, making them more accessible and reliable.
