The KTM 400EXC is a testament to the brand’s dominance in the world of enduro racing, having claimed the 1999 World Enduro Championship title in the hands of Giovanni Sala.
This bike has made a significant impact on the 400cc four-stroke market, offering a smooth and clean riding experience that rivals that of a motocross bike.
With a slightly unconventional engine configuration, featuring an 89mm x 64mm configuration, KTM has prioritized torque over high-revving performance, resulting in a more accessible and forgiving power delivery.
The electric start feature, a standard on this model, may be met with skepticism by purists, but it’s hard to argue with the convenience it offers. The power delivery is smooth, with a noticeable spike in the midrange that’s sure to put a smile on your face.
The WP suspension package is firm and competition-focused, but can be finicky to set up, with some initial stiction issues on the inverted front forks.
