UPDATED WP Xplor 48 upside-down split front fork with new outer tubes for more sensitivity, less stiction and reduced weight. Revised settings are stiffer as well.
UPDATED WP Xplor PDS rear suspension features stiffer settings while still offering the progressive feel and excellent bottoming resistance only PDS can provide.
UPDATED 38mm Mikuni TMX carburetor with new settings and a new angle (turned 7°) for controllable power with reduced fuel overflow. It is also less sensitive to altitude and temperature changes
NEW CDI control unit for improved starting. Ignition curves remain unchanged.
NEW radiator guards provide better airflow in muddy conditions.
249 cc engine features a compact shaft arrangement for better mass centralization.
Cylinder with twin-valve controlled power valve for smooth power that can be adjusted within seconds for different track conditions.
Revolutionary lateral counter balancer reduces engine vibrations for less rider fatigue at the end of the moto.
6-speed wide ratio transmission is perfectly suited for off-road duty
Hydraulically operated DDS clutch features a damping system for better traction and durability.
Lightweight Chromoly steel frame provides high torsional rigidity with less longitudinal stiffness resulting in excellent handling and energy absorption
PDS Shock mounting geometry is matched to the aluminum swingarm with a centered location for nearly symmetrical loads to the swingarm.
Forged aluminum triple clamp with handlebar positions and a 22mm offset for precise handling.
ODI grips that feature a lock-on design for the left grip and a vulcanized grip on the throttle side.
“No Dirt” footpeg design keeps the pegs pivot from becoming clogged, ensuring the footpeg is always in the correct position.
CNC machined hubs, high-end Giant rims and Dunlop tires for maximum strength and traction
Airbox and filter design provides maximum performance with fast “no tools” air filter changes.
Bodywork with perfect ergonomics and contact points for maximum control and comfort.
2.6 gallon see-through polyethylene tank provides the range needed from a true READY TO RACE enduro bike.
“No Dirt” shift lever prevents dirt from fouling the lever joint to ensure proper shifting in any condition.

2018 KTM 150 XC-W

‘XC’ means cross-country. ‘W’ represents its wide-ratio transmission. ‘KTM’ stands for winning. This model is a READY TO RACE bike built for closed-course enduro racing. With the agility of a 125 and enough muscle to take the fight to the 250 cc 4-Strokes, this bike punches well above its weight. Updated WP Xplor Suspension, a lightweight chromoly steel frame and a super-compact electric-start 144 cc engine mean nothing short of a dominating performance in the tightest of situations. That’s why when the going gets tough, the tough get an XC-W.
