KTM 2020: THE RETURN OF OFF-ROAD 4-STROKES & MORE

KTM just announced the second wave of its 2020 new models and the big news is that the XCF-W line is back! In recent years, KTM officials have said that the EXC dual-sport line was good enough to cover all bases and that dedicated off-road four-strokes were not needed. For 2020, that position has been rethought, and KTM will offer XCF-W motorcycles once again. These will be similar to the dual-sport bikes, but should be less encumbered with DOT equipment. Here is KTM’s official information:

Developed on the toughest climbs, gnarliest terrain and in deepest mud with our FMF KTM Factory Racing stars, the benchmark-setting KTM offroad models have just raised the bar yet again. The 2020 lineup includes the new KTM 150 XC-W TPI, KTM 250 XC-W TPI and KTM 300 XC-W TPI 2-strokes, as well as the new offroad-only KTM 350 XCF-W and KTM 500 XCF-W 4-strokes.

Building on the constantly evolving and advancing technology found in KTM’s enduro machines, this wide range of KTM models boasts the very latest in innovation. These 2020 machines feature updated high-performance engines, a new chassis with improved WP XPLOR suspension, improved handling, new bodywork, new air filter box, new cooling system, and new exhaust systems. These improvements and refinements, combined with the high-quality NEKEN handlebar, Brembo brakes, No-Dirt footpegs, and CNC-milled hubs with Giant rims fitted as standard equipment, ensure that the new KTM EXC and XC-W machines are the best performing and most extreme offroad and dual-sport bikes on the market.

To get the very best out of the new KTM EXC and XC-W model lineup, KTM has continued to develop its high-quality selection of KTM PowerParts, which enables riders to customize their machines to take it to new heights. KTM enduro fans can also find a wide range of riding gear, protection and casual wear in the KTM PowerWear collection, ensuring they can be READY TO RACE both on and off the bike.

Bikes will be arriving in North American dealers this summer. For more information visit www.ktm.com.
