KTM 250 EXC-E (2012 -)

The KTM 250 EXC-E is a masterclass in balance and precision, marrying the playful handling of a 125 with the engine power of a 250cc enduro.

Its revised chassis boasts greater lateral stiffness, absorbing jolts from the suspension system with ease, resulting in even more comfort and agility on the trails.

The engine, a symphony of performance, is perfectly complemented by the latest WP upside-down fork with wider adjustment ranges and a new setting, providing sensitive responsiveness and outstanding damping.

With its new, lighter cast aluminium swingarm and 7 mm longer PDS shock absorber, the 250 EXC-E is a true handling machine, its playful nature and precision making it a joy to ride.

The bike’s ergonomics have been perfected, with a slim seat and spoiler lines, plus excellent contact points, making handling even simpler and more precise.

The 250 EXC-E is the ultimate fun machine, built for those who crave a carefree riding experience, with its reasonable costs and unbeatable performance making it the perfect choice for anyone looking to break free from the competitive class-based society.
