DIRT NEWS
from the monochrome colours of everything else on the trails . In terms of engines , the two-stroke model range once again makes use of KTM ’ s patented Transfer Port Injection ( TPI ) technology , which has ensured fewer emissions and fuel consumption , but , according to KTM , it provides smooth and strong power delivery from the bottom right through to the top end of the revrange . The four-stroke model range features four options to cover the breadth of rider needs . The entry point being the 250 EXC-F and KTM 350 EXC-F models , before topping out with the big bore 450 EXC-F and 500 EXC-F powerhouses . Sitting outside the core range are the everpopular KTM EXC SIX DAYS range , which offers a tribute to the upcoming 2022 FIM International Six Days Enduro in France , combining the latest in innovation with an extensive list of race-derived parts fitted as standard . Every motorcycle in the range gets fully adjustable WP XPLOR suspension as standard , with the advantage of a Progressive Damping System ( PDS ) on the rear . The PDS layout , a staple across the EXC and EXC-F enduro models , offers lower maintenance due to fewer moving parts , but provides more ground clearance , with less chance of hooking up when climbing logs or rocks . The 2023 KTM EXC range is expected here soon with pricing still to be confirmed at the time of writing .
