01. Preparation makes Perfect

SETTING THE SAG
ADJUSTABILITY

• Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier. The KTM EXC-F range boasts a tool-free suspension setup at both ends. At the rear, our legendary, race-winning PDS technology features hand-adjustable dual compression controls, allowing riders to adjust high- and low-speed settings in a matter of seconds. On the front, the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand-adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap, making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle.

DEEP BREATH
AIR FILTER BOX

• The air filter box is designed to ensure maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion. Precision in how the inlet ducts are positioned is aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection. An enduro-specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel, while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design features a simple fail-proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation. All this ensures the air filter is easily accessed, without tools, for fast trail-side maintenance.

FULLY FUELED
FUEL TANK

• The transparent, polythene (XPE) fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro lineup. Having undergone thorough race testing in everything from the GNCC to the hardest of FIM hard enduros, these tanks are built, well, like tanks! A one-piece fuel pump and filter manage fuel supply, while servicing is made extra simple with easy fuel filter access. What's more, a new 2-gallon (8.2-liter) fuel tank, designed to maximize fuel consumption, integrates neatly with the ergonomic bodywork.

02. Benchmark lap

UNMATCHED PERFORMANCE
EXHAUST

• Providing the bark to the KTM EXC-F 6DAYS ranges bite, the exhaust system is designed to deliver hard-hitting performance at the lowest possible weight. The 2-piece header pipe design is made to be as compact as possible, with the routing of the header pipe extremely close to the engine for maximum of mass centralization and minimum exposure to rocks. At the noise-making end, a short, compact silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum and finished in a unique 6DAYS anthracite color, proudly displaying the 6DAYS logo.

6DAYS EQUIPMENT
TOP-SHELF COMPONENTRY

• The first KTM bearing the 6DAYS name tore onto the scene way back in 1996. Almost 30 years later, we're still keeping that legacy alive. AII KTM 6DAYS models receive the full 6DAYS treatment, from machined orange anodized triple clamps, right down to a solid rear brake disc. Each and every element on a 6DAYS model is specifically chosen for the job at hand, stamped with a coveted 6DAYS logo, and let loose to dominate the field.

SLEDGEHAMMER
ENGINE

• Warp speed engaged! The SOHC engine in the KTM 500 EXC-F is an undeniable powerhouse. Weighing in at a mere 65 lb (29.5 kg) it's remarkably lightweight for its power output. Designed with mass centralization in mind, this hard-hitting power factory features a low center of gravity, providing exceptional handling, maneuverability, and overall anti-squat behavior.

03. On the charge

BUILT TO BE THE BACKBONE
FRAME

• Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity, the KTM EXC-F range is engineered around a gloss-orange powder-coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback, energy absorption, and high-speed stability. This is achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame along with a forged steering head connection. The footrest mounts also feature a slim design for less risk of hooking up. And when the ride comes to an end, a forged one-piece side stand ensures your enduro weapon stands proud.

MORE THAN A SUBFRAME
SUBFRAME

• An ultra-light lightweight subframe takes charge at the rear of the main frame, featuring a 2-part polyamide and reinforced aluminum construction. With the help of computational dynamics, a specific rigidity was engineered into the subframe, to deliver outstanding handling and rider feedback. This compact subframe design also boasts the the ability to bend and flex in the event of a crash, rather than break, with the subframe fully integrating electronic components, without any extra need for brackets, holders, or unnecessary fixtures.

UNFLAPPABLE FRONT END
WP XACT CLOSED-CARTIDGE FORK

• A 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork provides fast and consistent damping, with optimized oil flow. This means these forks ensure unmatched performance at every level. Fork protection rings also protect against dirt intrusion. But, best of all, the fork allows for full adjustment of compression and rebound without the need for any tools.

04. Keeping you going

SEE INTO THE FUTURE
LED HEADLIGHT

• Lighting the way forward, the KTM EXC range features an LED headlight unit and light mask. The mask itself features improved triple clamp protection against roost and does away with the rubber mounting straps for improved fitment. Most importantly, the LED lighting unit provides serious illumination, making riding in the dark a completely new experience.

HOLD THE LINE
STABILITY

• The KTM EXC range remains rock-solid at any speed thanks to a repositioned and forged steering head connection and CNC-milled triple clamps. Made from high-grade aluminum, these feature optimally tuned steering stem stiffness, perfect alignment of the forl tubes, and precise geometry of the fork clamps to ensure highly responsive and smooth fork action - not to mention unwavering stability for those ultra-fast flat-out special stages.
