Built on KTM’s READY TO RACE philosophy, this mid‑displacement machine delivers class‑leading capability for weekend warriors and seasoned competitors alike, combining refined four‑stroke performance with advanced handling and race‑ready features.
At the heart of the 250 EXC‑F is a potent 249.9 cc liquid‑cooled, single‑cylinder four‑stroke engine paired with a smooth 6‑speed transmission and Keihin EFI system. This engine provides strong torque across the rev range and crisp throttle response, offering both low‑end tractability for technical sections and punchy midrange power for open trails. A wet DDS multi‑disc clutch with Brembo hydraulics ensures light, consistent lever feel and reliable performance in all conditions.
The chassis features a central double‑cradle 25CrMo4 steel frame with an aluminum‑reinforced polyamide subframe designed for balanced rigidity and rider feedback. This backbone provides precise handling and stability at speed, giving riders confidence whether navigating rocky singletrack or flowing fire roads. Premium WP XACT 48 mm inverted front forks and a WP XPLOR shock absorber with PDS technology deliver excellent travel, damping, and adjustability to soak up rough terrain while maintaining traction and control.
Trail‑ready ergonomics enhance rider comfort and control, with a rider‑focused body position, high‑grip seat profile, and plastics designed to shed mud and debris for uninterrupted performance. The electrical system includes a reliable electric start, and the transparent fuel tank allows quick visual checks of fuel levels—perfect for long rides or enduro stages.
Rolling on rugged 21‑inch front and 18‑inch rear wheels with ultra‑grippy Maxxis Maxx Enduro tires, the 250 EXC‑F offers dependable traction across a variety of surfaces. Hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, consistent stopping power, allowing riders to confidently approach technical climbs, tight corners, and high‑speed descents.
With its blend of refined power delivery, agile handling, and durable trail‑tested design, the 2026 KTM 250 EXC‑F stands as a top choice for riders seeking a versatile and capable enduro machine—ready to explore new routes, attack challenging terrain, and push limits on every ride.
