Adjustability

Getting READY TO RACE has never been easier The KTM EXC range boasts a tool free suspension setup at both ends At the rear our legendary race winning PDS technology features hand adjustable dual compression controls allowing riders to adjust high and low speed settings in a matter of seconds On the front the forks are also easily adjusted thanks to hand adjustable clickers on the bottom of the fork shoe and on the fork top cap making changing settings on the fly as easy as twisting the throttle

Air Filter Box

The air filter box is designed to ensure maximum airflow with minimal water intrusion Precision in how the inlet ducts are positioned is aimed at preventing air deformation and maintaining filter protection
An enduro specific splash protector under the airbox prevents water or dirt from splashing up from the rear wheel while the Twin Air filter and air filter support design features a simple fail proof mounting system for safe and accurate filter installation All this ensures the air filter is easily accessed without tools for fast track side maintenance

Fuel Tank

The transparent polythene XPE fuel tank is a signature element of the KTM Enduro lineup Having undergone thorough race testing in everything from the GNCC to the hardest of FIM hard enduros these tanks are built well like tanks A one piece fuel pump and filter manage fuel supply while servicing is made extra simple with easy fuel filter access What 8217 s more an updated fuel tank roll now holds the tank more firmly in place and protects the frame against scrubbing

Graphics

The KTM 6DAYS range sends a high flying salute to the ISDE Italia with striking graphics incorporating the colors of the Italian flag a glossy orange frame and striking blue finishes

Engine

Light compact and weighing only 28 8 kg the KTM 250 EXC F 6DAYS engine is an outstanding bit of engineering Knowing for its high revving and intelligent low friction design it continues to provide the goods at every twist of the throttle

Quickshifter

Clutchless upshifts are the name of the game with the Quickshifter fitted as standard on the 4 stroke KTM 6DAYS models The function works by interrupting the ignition for a fraction of a second This allows upshifting without the use of the clutch lever while the throttle is fully opened On the technical side a sensor on the shift drum notices the force on the shift lever sending the signal to the ECU and interrupting the ignition timing to slot the next gear in The Quickshifter can also be deactivated via the map select switch and is only active from 2nd to 6th gear

Traction Control

Blasting through wet and muddy terrain just got a lot easier with the Traction Control function TC analyzes throttle input from the rider and the rate at which the RPM increases in the engine If the RPM increases too quickly the EMS registers a loss of grip and reduces the amount of power to the rear wheel This ensures maximum traction Of course it can be switched off for complete control

Offroad Control Unit

The Offroad Control Unit 8211 or OCU 8211 is located under the seat and replaces all the electronic fuses and relays All outputs are switched depending on signals from the voltage regulator and the ECU continuously In the event of over current outputs are deactivated individually This makes for easy error detection as the status of each output is indicated by a red or green LED light This means diagnosing an electrical issue out on the trail is as easy as lifting the seat and there 8217 s no more need to carry fiddly fuses

Selectable Engine Maps

Designed for easy operation the map select switch comes standard on the KTM 6DAYS models and allows for the easy selection of 2 unique engine maps Map 1 is the standard more linear and predictable power map while map 2 is a more aggressive map for added throttle response and more crisp explosive power output

Battery and Wiring Harness

As with the rest of the 4 stroke EXC F range the KTM 250 EXC F 6DAYS is fitted with a proven and reliable electric start system
Powered by an ultra lightweight 2 Ah lithium ion starter battery it provides a safe reliable starting time and time again while the wiring harness has most of the electrical components carefully positioned under the seat for easy accessibility

Ergonomics

Exhaust

Providing the bark to the KTMEXC F 6DAYS ranges bite the exhaust system is designed to deliver hard hitting performance at the lowest possible weight The 2 piece header pipe design is made to be as compact as possible with the routing of the header pipe extremely close to the engine for maximum of mass centralization and minimum exposure to rocks At the noise making end a short compact silencer is crafted from lightweight aluminum and finished in a unique 6DAYS anthracite color proudly displaying the 6DAYS logo

Top Shelf Componentry

The first KTM bearing the 6DAYS name tore onto the scene way back in 1996 Almost 30 years later we 8217 re still keeping that legacy alive

Cooling System

A radiator fan is fitted as standard equipment across the KTM EXC and EXC F model range

Frame

Specifically engineered for longitudinal rigidity the KTM EXC F range is engineered around a gloss orange powder coated frame providing exceptional rider feedback energy absorption and high speed stability This is achieved by repositioning the rotating masses in the frame along with a forged steering head connection The footrest mounts also feature a slim design for less risk of hooking up And when the ride comes to an end a forged one piece side stand ensures your enduro weapon stands proud

Subframe

An ultra light lightweight subframe takes charge at the rear of the main frame featuring a 2 part polyamide and reinforced aluminum construction With the help of computational dynamics a specific rigidity was engineered into the subframe to deliver outstanding handling and rider feedback This compact subframe design also boasts the the ability to bend and flex in the event of a crash rather than break with the subframe fully integrating electronic components without any extra need for brackets holders or unnecessary fixtures

WP XACT Closed Cartidge Fork

A 48 mm WP XACT Closed Cartridge spring fork provides fast and consistent damping with optimized oil flow This means these forks ensure unmatched performance at every level Fork protection rings also protect against dirt intrusion But best of all the fork allows for full adjustment of compression and rebound without the need for any tools

WP XPLOR Shock
