2023 KTM 250 XC-F
The 2023 KTM 250 XC-F continues its assault on the highly-competitive 250 cc class, making its presence known with its incredible 14,000 RPM limit. Featuring a truly user-friendly package engineered to satisfy all riders, from novice to pro, it continues the trend of being undisputedly READY TO RACE at any level. Delivering a knock-out power-punch, more stability in a straight line, and with more electronic uppercuts in the bag, the 2023 KTM 250 XC-F is ready to take on the 250 cc class and dominate it.
Features may include:
- Engine
Weighing in at a lightweight 57.5 lb, this mid-weight powerhouse is the undisputed performance leader in the 250 cc 4-stroke class. Designed and tuned to best suit the performance and handling characteristics of the overall package, the 2023 KTM 250 XC-F sees an increase of power in the mid-range and the top-end. For 2023, the engine is tilted 2 backward with a lower sprocket position, which together with the benefits of mass centralization and reduced weight, makes the anti-squat behavior of the chassis second to none.
- Frame
No matter how gnarly the trail is, you'll stay in complete control thanks to an all-new frame design that has not only been engineered for longitudinal rigidity, but also repositions rotating mass closer to the center of gravity. Thicker frame walls also improve reliability, flex characteristics and offer unmatched rider feel. A new shock mounting also provides improved anti-squat behavior for better traction out of corners, while the footpeg mounting position has moved inwards for less risk of hooking up on roots or rocks. Additionally, the inclusion of forged brackets on the lower frame rails allows for easy installation of the skid plate.
- Wheels and Tyres
These don't only look the part - they play it too! High-strength, lightweight black alloy rims by GIANT are coupled to CNC machined hubs using lightweight spokes and silver anodised aluminium nipples. The spoke nipples incorporate a revised design reducing the frequency of spoke checks and maintenance. A Dunlop GEOMAX MX-33F takes care of business at the front, with a GEOMAX AT81 completing the package.
- Neken Handlebar
All KTM XC and XC-F models are equipped with a tapered handlebar made of high-strength aluminum by NEKEN. The proprietary KTM bend delivers optimal control and unintended rider impacts are absorbed by the newly designed KTM branded bar pad, which features the same design patterns as seen on the frame protectors and tank spoilers - now that's a touch of class.
- Fuel Tank
A new 2.24 gallon polythene fuel tank incorporates a threaded filler cap and an integrated fuel pump. The fuel pump features an external fuel line which is specifically positioned to make it less exposed and susceptible to damage, while ensuring a steady, uninterrupted flow of fuel.
- Map Select Switch
The 2023 KTM 250 XC-F features a map select switch as standard, allowing the racer to switch between 2 perceptible engine maps. Map 1 provides a linear, predictable power delivery, while Map 2 gives it the full beans with crisp, explosive power output. Using the same switchgear, the rider can toggle between Traction Control and Launch Control. and the Quickshifter functions.
