2017 KTM 250 EXC – Specification

Engine

The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC enduro bike has a superb 250 cc engine which has a powerful 2-stroke technology. These engines are showing excellent performance in all condition. The engine has come with an outstanding power to weight ratio, low cost, and simplicity. The engine of the all-new 2017 KTM 250 EXC comes with the new architecture with the best shaft arrangement for maximum centralization of mass, with the new cylinder with the twin-valve controlled power valve, the all-new counter balance shaft for the minimum engine vibration. This bike has a six high-speed transmission and the hydraulically operated DDS clutch. This bike is best for its low maintenance cost. The Enduro 2017 KTM 250 EXC bike has a new cylinder with a bore of 66.4 mm which has the new port; a bottle is fitted with an overhauled power valve system.

Chassis

The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC has a high-tech, lightweight chrome-moly steel frame which has a knack for easy handling, outstanding rideability, accurate cornering and superb stability. The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC has the high torsional rigidity with the low longitudinal stiffness. It will result in maximum absorption of energy created from the front and rear suspension. In other words, a rider will have more comfort and less fatigue. The chassis has a laterally attached, lightweight engine head stays which contributed to the reduction of vibration level. This bike is the lightest bike among the competitor on the market. The maintenance of the new 2017 KTM 250 EXC is very easy, and it supplies more space for the tank and other components. The bike has the extra-light sub-frame which is made up of solid aluminum. The KTM engineers were able to achieve the lightest bike, which was their goal. The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC is the lightest, a and slimmest bike is the Enduro category. The bike has the updated design of swingarm for optimized mounting position of PDS (Progressive Damping System) shock, which provides the best action. The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC has a cast aluminum design which ensures the lower weight and perfect flex behavior. The best part of the single-component casting process is that it eliminates any inconsistencies and inherent weak points which were created by welding. The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC has got the all-new footpegs which prevent the smudging up the pegs even when the bike is digging in deep ruts. This new Enduro bike has a 6 mm higher pegs which give better ground clearance. The KTM engineers used the high strength aluminum handlebars made by NEKEN. The ODI vulcanized grip is adjusted on the right side of the handlebar, while on its left side, there is a bar for comfortable ODI lock. The new 2017 KTM 250 EXC has triple clamps with an offset of 22 mm; it ensures the stable grip and accurate handling. The rider can also adjust the handlebars in 4 different positions.
