KTM Freeride 250 R 2017 – Specification

Engine

The new KTM Freeride 250 R 2017 comes with the powerful engine that delivers a massive amount of acceleration and torque to the wheels. The engine of the new KTM Freeride 250 R 2017 contains its cylinders that have ducts and valve timing adapted to the desired torque curve, as well as a matching piston. This motorcycle has the undamped CCS (Coil Spring Steel) clutch which has the steel cage and a new clutch package tuned especially for the free rides with seven steel carrier lining discs. The clutch is performing well and is offering smooth and precise control. The new KTM Freeride 250 R 2017 has the 6-speed gearbox which is specially developed for the freeride models that have shorter transmission ratios, while the extended sixth gear is designed for the override.
