Drivetrain
A clever, cutting-edge control unit designed especially for this application manages the brushless electric motor of the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle to provide a quick but highly tractable power delivery for optimal riding enjoyment. Riding a motorbike on tighter, twistier tracks is more enjoyable since you can access all of the torque virtually from a stop, eliminating the need to change a clutch or gear lever. Riding a motorcycle has always been challenging.
When compared to many bikes with combustion engines, the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle comfortably holds its thanks to its sophisticated motor, which produces 18 kW of peak power in Cross mode 3. Furthermore, the vehicle may recover deceleration energy while coasting and braking for an extra range gain when Economy mode is chosen.
Simultaneously, the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle offers unwavering operational safety. The drivetrain’s advanced, completely sealed system and KTM PowerPack prevent electrical hazards even when completely immersed in water.
Display
The rider may choose between three power delivery modes using the multifunctional display between the steering head and seat. A chain of LEDs that changes color from green to red provides a visual indicator of the remaining charge in the KTM PowerPack. When the battery falls below 10%, the bike automatically enters “limp home mode,” and the red LED begins to flash. Additionally, the red LED flashes at various frequencies to show trouble codes.
Ride modes
On a Ready To Race motorbike, three distinct riding modes allow the engine to adapt to varying skill levels while also providing the advantage of the most effective energy management to date, customized to satisfy the rider’s preferences and the demands of the requirements: There are three different modes: “Economy” (limited to 50 km/h), “Enduro” (limited to 16 kW of power), and “Cross” (unrestricted), offering up to 18 kW of power.
Chassis Frame
The 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle’s chassis is a very light composite frame of bolt-on forged aluminum components and premium chrome-molybdenum steel. The engine and large aluminum skid plate are stressed components in the frame’s open bottom part. Even in high leaps, its design offers the best possible rigidity and stability for maximum safety.
Sub-frame
A high-strength polymer is used to build the bolt-on subframe. Its outstanding stiffness contributes significantly to reducing the total weight of the vehicle. Because the integrated grip handle is recessed, it is effectively shielded from dirt and debris that the back tire kicks up.
Front Suspension
The WP XPLOR 43 fork, which has 250 mm of travel and 43 mm of upside-down fork legs, is used on the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle. The WP Xplor 43 boasts exceptional damping and response qualities, a sensitive feel, and resistance to bottoming out.
Easily adjustable via dials on top of the fork, the split fork design has springs on both sides and independent damping functions in each of the fork legs. The left side of the fork is used for compression damping, while the right side is used for rebound damping.
Rear Suspension
With 260 mm of wheel travel, the WP Xplor shock absorber is an ideal complement to the WP Xplor 43 fork. The successful PDS (progressive damping system) rear suspension design, characteristic of KTM competitive enduros, mounts the shock absorber directly to the top of the swingarm, doing away with a linkage’s extra weight and complexity.
The WP Xplor incorporates an additional dampening piston including a closed cup at the end of the stroke for further protection against bottoming out, adding to the progression already accomplished by the progressive spring and suspension design.
The shock absorber independently adjusts high and low-speed compression damping and rebound adjustability. Through the KTM PowerParts program, a custom kit may be obtained to drop the seat height by an extra 25 mm.
Wheels
The lightweight aluminum spoke nipples on the anodized aluminum Giant rims and CNC machined hubs make up the high-end wheels of the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle, which are unbeatable in weight and stability.
Brakes
The 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle has lightweight brake discs and a newly designed FORMULA system that includes floating calipers with two pistons in the front and one in the back. The system’s regulated action and performance sets the standard for robust and secure braking.
Comfort and Ergonomics Handlebar
The 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle’s tapered Neken high-strength aluminum handlebar offers improved control and ergonomics for the rider since it has the same bend and breadth as the EXC handlebar. The handlebar is fitted with ODI grips, including a handy lock-on grip on the left that fits securely without wiring or adhesives.
Footrests
The long, thin seat of the 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle provides unlimited mobility and exceptional comfort. It is simple to unlock and unlatch to give access to the KTM PowerPack. With a seat height of a little over 900 mm, most riders can make ground contact even on challenging terrain, which boosts confidence and promotes a rider’s sense of safety. It is especially beneficial for novice riders. One of the premium accessories available from KTM PowerParts is a different seat with an even lower seat height.
Dashboard
The new 2023 KTM Freeride EX-C Electric Motorcycle has an easy-to-use dashboard with integrated warning and indication lights, a digital speedometer from MAE, and many more features. With its incorporated channel, the braided front brake hose tube provides excellent protection for the speedometer cable. The bike also has an ignition lock placement that ensures simple access on the right side of the headlamp mask near the speedometer.
Software & Electronics Charger
Flip up the seat to connect the external charger to the KTM PowerPack. The external charger may be linked to any standard 230V socket fused at 10A or 13A. A full charge takes around 110 minutes, while an 80% charge takes approximately 75 minutes.
